AMUSEMENTS.

EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES TO.M .MIX AND TONY—TO-NIGHT. Tom Mix, playing the starring role of Tom Gordon, a detective, in “ The Great K and A Train Robbery,” Fox Films latest release, which will he .shown at the Princess Theatre to-night disregards the danger of death from bullets as he flees from a gang of desperadoes and turns aside to rescue a girl whose horse has bolted, and who has caught her foot in a stirrup and, left her head hanging near the runaway’s flying hoofs. Gordon saves her in spite of her fight to escape him because she believes he’s a bandit and the pursuers are it sheriff’s posse. After she has had time to think it over the girl concludes such a chivalrous man could not be an oultaw, and when he re-nppears in her own father’s home, again apparently a desperado, the girl decides one good turn deserves another and hides him in a closet of her bedroom, so that he can elude her father’s pursuit. These are only two of the many dramatic touches of the Mix picture. Dorothy Rwan, who plays the feminine lead, gives the screen a new masterpeice of screen riding and acting. A good supporting series will also lie presented, including a topical, comedy and further chapters ol the new serial '• The Winking Idol.”
