AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS PIGTURES. “LIGHT OF WESTERN STARS” TO-NIGHT. Again Znno Grey and Paramount have joined hands in glorifying the Great West, and the result of their painstaking efforts 112 veal itself tonight at the Princess Theatre. “The Light of Western Stars’’ is the rather brilliant title of this new photo-thriller and, as is typical of practically all Zanc Grey stories, it depicts another glorious, colorful phase of the early, romantic West. This time it’s the Arizona cattle country, hack in those adventurous days when it was America’s last frontier, that provides the picturesque setting for the stirring story of action, drama, conflict and love. From the moment the plot introduces Jack Holt as the dare-devil cowboy, Noah Beery as the bandit chief and Billie Dove as the adorable heroine, the picture grips the interest like a vice and holds it till the final lighting finish. The action reaches a point of tremendous suspense when Beery captures -Miss Dove and Holt, and forces the latter to take the “walk of death” a favorite form of execution at that time, in which a victim is apparently turned loose only to he shot as he makes a dash for freedom. Holt's escape and the startling developments that follow furnish plenty of excitement and some brand nou; thrills. “The Light of Western Stars” has everything the average movie-goer looks for in film entertainment. A Topical and Comedy completes a fine display to-night.
