EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES

TOM MJX .VXJ) TOW TO-NIGHT

A real treat will Ijo enjoyed l>v the audience which witness the showing ol ‘No Man’s Gold” at the Princess

Theatre to-night. This is Fox Films latest starring vehicle for Tom Mix and is a screen version of J. Allan Dunn’s widely read novel of the West. The producers have done well by Mix in providing him with a real story, rich in drama and incident, and with many opportunities for the versatile star to perform some feats of daredevil riding, scaling the faces of perpendicular cliffs aided by Tony, ami other equally hairraising stunts. Tint these feats of skill and daring are a part of a logically developed story and are a necessary part of the plot. “No Man’s Gold” deals with the discovery of a

fabulously rich mine, the map showing how it was to he found, a. man. a. girl arid the orphaned ssn of the discoverer ol the mine Mix is the oowpunchor. Turn Stone who adopts the boy Jimmy, played by Micky Moore, a nine-year old youngsters, who does his part with startling realism. Eva Novak, as Jane Hagers, tile rodeo star, is back with Mix in one of the host of her many famous roles. Four other screen far on 1 ites give' splendid portrayals of their roles. They are Frank C’ampeati. the card sharp of “3 Bad Men.” who as Frank Honl.v the gambler, plays the villain ; Wat Lyman, the discoverer of- the mine played by Forrest lay nr. Lefty Logan, a third rate pugilist and loyal partner to Tom causes most of the laughs, played by Harry Gripp. Pete. Krell, played by Malcolm Waite, with the aid of Tom, gives one of (In' best performances of a rough and tumble fight seen in a long while. You’ll enjoy seeing this picture because it has everything in it that goes toward making a. fine entertainment. A Topical and Comedy completes the display to-night. On Wednesday next a grand double sta.r programme will ho presented ineluding ten rounds of the fight' t"oon Toni Tleeney and Pauline : also a Paramount 5-recl special starring Gloria Swanson in “The Coast i" Follv.”

“A PAIR OF BRACKS.” TUESDAY. . At the Princess Theatre on Tuesday evening “A Pair ol Braces” comedy by At'. Ora-enie-Holdor. author of‘“Mnrietle’’ will he produced. The most remarkable point in the story is the fact that “The Ace of Diamonds,” a master criminal, although active throughout rhe whole course of the play covers bis track's so carefully that bis identity is not actually established until a few minutes before the final fall of the no-, tain. The story is written with the same originality and cleverness so evident ill “Marietta” which Mr GraemeHolder'gave us a few months ago. and a carefully selected caste lias lieen chosen, by this clever entrepreneur to interpret the latest of his achievements To attempt- to adequately describe the story would lie as baffling as the story itself, and further would probably tend to spoil for Hokitika theatregoers what, promises to he one of the most entertaining productions staged here. Prices are 3s and 2.s plus tax.
