EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES ■• wild .ir stick ’•—.to-xtght. Isolated liv a blizzard. a moticjii piemiv company was lost to the world for ton (lavs daring the filming of “ Wild Justice,” the new United Artists production starring the screen's marvel dog. Peter The Great, and coming tonight to the Princess Theatre. Late in March the company, headed by Director Chester .M. Franklin, mushed into the wilderness of the High Sierras mid established headquarters in rude huts more than a hundred miles from a railroad. Filming of the picture began at once, but was barely under way when a blizzard swooped down out of the North and for a week held the lonely region in a grip of ice. Twice during t!|- week guides attempted to for<c their way to the railroad base and were driven Imek by the storm. The company went on half rations to conserve the food supply, and all motion picture activity was suspended. The blizzard bleu itself out on the sixth day. and four days taler the first dog team came fighting its way through from the railroad with fresh supplies. Conditions paralleling any motion picture ‘thriller' were encountered, and the company was in camp more than a month before scenes were successfully completed. Supporting Peter the Great is a well-balanced cast headed by George Sherwood. Frances Teague and Frank ilagney. Peter the Great is the greatest dog hero ever seen in any photoplay. Tfis intelligence will amaze, his bravery awe. his splendid beauty clmrm. his great strength and fearlessness startle yon. A comedy and gazette complete the display to-night.

Her playing has the true ring of the artist, of the born violinist as distinct from the violinist who is made. For her youth, her attainment is exceptional. for with a beautiful tone, especially good in the highest position, she allies a well-developed technique and general style of much authority.” Belie Kesslova as nu artist of exceptional high ability, one seldom hears so tine a musical artist, on the vaudeville stage. Tn a stage sotting of a caravan, fire, tripod and pot, she plays and tier playing is the completion of a wonderful picture. It is impossible to speak too highly of this clever lady and her praises have often been sung in the British, Australian and \frican press. Suffice it to sav that her magnificent technique and the beautiful purity of her notes has stamped her as a.
