EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES

•‘ Til E DESERT'S TOLL ” SATURDAY. Francis McDonald, dashing and delianair star of “ The Desert's Toll,” the smashing out-01-door story winch will be unfolded at the Princess Theatre on Saturday, is one of the most picturesque personalities in motion pictures. Himself a highly educated and cultured young gentleman, he combines tbe arts and airs of the born westerner with these evidences of the accomplishments of culture. .McDonald is a born rider, and his feats of horsemanship so thrillingly displayed in “The Desert’s Toll ” will convince any skeptic of his equestrian ability. For years lie has ridden, most frequently for the pleasure to be derived from the exhilarating sport, as until recently he has confined his histrionic efforts to straight drama, having attained great popularity in both romantic and heavy roles. But he belongs to the great outdoors, lffs very personality breathes of the mountain and desert. He strikingly typifies the gentleman of the plains, and great success should follow his interpretations of western roles.
