HOOT GIBSON-FRIDAY.

An unequalled treat is in store for the patrons of the Princess Theatre on Friday when “The Rawhide Kid,” a Universal production starts its featured run. This is a story of the great West and' was adopted from Peter B. Kyne’s popular novel “The Lion and the Lamb.” • Its men and women live as lived the real, men and women, of that wonderful country. Director Del Andrews has given us no “stagey” group of humans but “regular folks,’’ the kind we all know. “The Rawhide Kid” concerns the travels and escapades of a carefree Irish cowpuncher win would rather fight, than eat. He mo'-ts a pretty girl and her father in the Inert of the desert, and discoverX ling that they were run out of town ' ho takes them back and invites anyone to attempt such a trick again. His experience in trying to outwit the villians and at the same time endeavouring' to justify himself with the law, makes the perfect screen story admirably suited to the talents of one of the best casts ever selected for an outdoor production. The famous Hoot Gibson “aoe” of western stars, is the likeable O’Hara. As ia liard-riding, hard-fighting buckaroo, he uncovers a hitherto unsuspected line of comedy that will plant him solidly in the affec•rtions of every fan in the country. The m supporting cast includes such prominont players as Georgie Hale, Frank ' William H. Strauss, Tom Lmgham , and Harry Todd. The firtial chapter of the chapter play “Whispering Smith Rides,” will be shown. Law and order will be given one) last slim. chance of besting the,despeirate/Gunldck Hole gang and bringing things to rights. Even though the villainy of the gang has been exposed, the determined scoundrels are ’ still intent upon making one last scoop—the money, the girl and the border line. The dashing Wallace MacDonald haa a scant half hour in which to defeat the desperate crew' and prove •-that he is a serial hero w'ortli talking about. The coming episide “A Call of the Heart” will tell all.
