“RIDING FOR FAALE’’-TO-NIGHT

. Hoot Gibson’s newest production, “Ridihg for Fame,” a Universal-Jewel

picture, will be shown to-night at the

Princess Theatre. It is the best one v'ii» which he has ever'appeared. “Riding for Fame ” provides all the thrilling episodes and dramatic situations of picture, but it has added A great deal of comedy and a new note, in the telling. As a comedy alone it is one of the funniest films shown herb this season. Thb story was written by Reaves Eason, the man who directed ' it. ° Eason has achieved a skill atld smoothness in the unfolding of the picture that does him great credit.’ The story is original for a Western

him, and the way in which it is told

’ ; makes it highly interesting as well as y, probable. It ha 6as plot the theme of a'cowboy whose vocation is; travelling around from ranch to ranch and break-

ing in untrained horses. ’He meets 3 girl just returned from college, and . they are attracted to each ether, -yjfjien the girl’s father is robbed and the cowboy is accused of the theft, he vindicates himself by capturing . , the real thief after’a terrific fight, and returning the money. Much of tlie invjterest of the picture is lost in the’ bare teiliug, but on the screen it holds the audience throughout. Ethlyne ,CJair is the girl, and Allan Forrest;-, the villain. Included in the fine support-

• f/ing/company are the comedy character, v George Summerville, Charles .K----p: French, and Ruth Cherrington. , , / The usual supports will also lie shown "including further chapters of the cirqtis serial and a good comedy. On Saturday next Dorothy Gish in “Tip Toes.” -
