Ken Maynard rides to new honours ns a Western star in liis latest picture, “I ho Land Beyond the Law,” which will bo shown at the Princess Theatre on Friday. One is always assured of plenty of action and thrills in a Maynard film, but this one brings with it a stirring story of Western history screened in such a manner that it cannot fail to command interest. Prior to the admission of New Mexico to the Union, gun-play ruled the -land. • For several years after it became officially one of the United States, there was great difficulty in bringing law and order to a territory ruled by wealthy and arrogant cattle barons who ruled with absolute power. Maynard appears here as a deputy marshal, assigned to bring to justice one particular baron and his band of cattle rustlers and gunmen who had been terrorizing New Mexico and making it unsafe for pioneer settlers. Then ther c is Tarzan, the white steed who is a veritable marvel among horses. He is a vital part of “ The Land Beyond the Law.” An actual wild cattle stampede—so,ooo head rushing madly over the plains, panic-stricken, over-running the tense scenes in First National’s feature “ The Land Beyond the Law.”

Further chapters of the serial “ The Silent Flyer,” comedy and gazette will also be shown.
