THE WHITE OUTLAW” —TO-NIGHT.

One of the most beautiful and impressive locales ever used as the background lor a. motion picture was found and screened by Universal in the taking of “ The White Outlaw,” a Universal Blue Streak Western, which will be presented at the Princess Theatre to-night. It is located in the mountains near Lone Pine, Calif., bordering on Death Valley. Each scene in the picture is an artistic composition. The rugged snow-capped mountains with their tops bidden in the clouds, the gulches filled with snow with their edges black where the drifts had melted, the precipitious talus slope, then the broad flat valley where the action of the picture takes place served ns a magnificently artistic setting, for the roaming of the hand of a thousand wild horses. .Tack Iloxie and his pretty leading lady, Marceline Day, underwent many hardships and dangers in their performance before the camera. Miss Day dropped fifteen feet from the top of a precipice to a ledge two feet wide. The force of her fall nearly carried her off the ledge into another drop of a hundred feet. The two took shelter in a narrow washout while a

herd of thousand horses passed overhead. their hoofs missing the couple by not over six inches. The story concerns a white horse of the plains which enjoys augmenting his band by freeing beasts from ranches. No human lias ever seen the herd hut IToxie captures the leader and the, horse becomes known as lii.s. Hence when the animal joins the wild again, suspicion falls on Tfoxie. The seemingly impossible task that confronts him now is to roeaptre the wild herd from the mountains. In the cast of the picture which was directed hv Cliff Smith are William Welsh, Duke Lee, Floyd Shackelford, and Charles Brin Icy. The story was written by Tsadore Bernstein. The first chapters of the new serial “Wolves of the North,” starring William Duncan, and a good comedy will also be shown. '
