AMUSEMENTS.
EVERYBODYS’ PICTURES. “CAUGHT”.
They called her “Calamity,” for trouble dogged her trial. She was a blowzy, middle-aged virago, who stormed through the old West with a ready hand and a lying tongue. She went all ways to get t-lie money. In her Bird Cage dance-hall the honky-tonk girls wheedled the spoils of their sordid affections out of the motley frontier crew. The hands of her Faro dealers were quicker than the eye. The roulette wheel responded to a mysterious influence. Zero and double zero turned up with the certainty of an arctic night. But deep in Calamity’s withered soul there burned the dim, unquenchable flame of a real woman’s sentiment. This is the difficult role which Louise Dresser plays in Paramount’s dramatic western story, “Caught” in which she is featured opposite Richard Arlelf,"at the Princess Theatre. Good supports.
