For Bax' ter again plays the part of a reckless and amorous, bandit, .whose love affairs with a danceliall girl and a gambler’s vyife, together with his impudent, use of an alias to defeat the officers seeking him, serve to motivate the swift moving and gorgeously photographed story. ’ (Establishing a new record in filming every scene of the picture on the exact site,of the story, even to the interior sequences, “The Arizona Kid” is an unusual . piece of entertainment.
