iVERYBODYS PICTURES. HOOT GIBSON. FRIDAY. * * The world’s most celebrated nick- ■ -name belongs to a good-looking young man who was christened Edward. But few persons—even among his close personal friends—know his real name. Edward Gibson is only a citizen in very private life, but Hoot Gibson —he is known from pole to pole and continent to continent. Hoot’s latest picture “Burning the,.Wind” is to be shown at the Princess Theatre on Friday. It * - i-Is-a "Universal Jewel production. Get•firting back to the nick-name, Gibson cannot remember how it started. But he does know that it' lias so thoroughly supplanted Edward, that he signs his nickname instead of his real cognomen *■ even in conducting his business. His bank account is kept under the pame of “Hoot” and most all of his property is registered under that name. Gibson acquired the nickname as a boy in Tekemah, Nebraska, his home' town, ' arid somehow, it followed him wherever f,; .he went. Under the name of Hoot, with no mention of Edward, he won the championship of the Pendleton Roundup in 1922, and still known as Hoot, he became a motion picture star soon after. “ Burning the Wind,” Gibson’s latest effort, was adapted from William McLeod Raine’s novel “A Daughter of the.'Dons ” and. was directe<T by Herbert Blache and Henry Mc- . Rae. The supporting cast includes Virginia Brown Faire, Robert Homans, Cesare Gravinia, Bores Karloff, Peewee Holmes, and others... A topical and comedy and the second' chapter of the new serial, starring William Desmond, “ The Vanishing Rider,” will also be shown on Friday. On Saturday, Dolores Costello id “The Heart of Maryland.”
