AMUSEMENTS

EVERYBODY’S PICTURES. TO-NIGHT ONLY The advent of Zane Grey’s “The Golden West,” the new Fox picture opening an engagement at the Princess Theatre to-day, marks the renaissance of'lndian drama, the return to popular favour on a new and much larger scale of the story of struggles between the whites and the red men. It serves, '.however, only as a background for what is said to be one of the most intriguing romances ever brought to the screen, a story that pivots about a family feud, a romance torn apart and rekindled after a lapse of twenty years in the hearts of the son of the boy and the daughter of the girl. O’Brien portrays a dual role and in the second part of the picture appears as the leader of a tribe of Indians who adopted him when they burned a settlement of tlie whites and massacred its entire population. “The Golden West” is reported as the most spectacular of any of the Fox Film outdoor romance's featuring O’Brien in the leading role. ..Janet" Chandler enacts the leading feminine role, also a dual part. Another important role portrayed by ’Marion Burns, a leading woman from the New | York stage. The cast also includes Bert Hanlon, who is entrusted with the principal comedy roli?; Arthur Pierson, Edmund Breese, Emmett Corrigan, Onslow Stevens, Frank Hagney, Julia] Swaylie Gordon,. Hattie McDaniels, and nearly 1000 extras and Indians. The .picturg ,was .directed hv David Howard;;who; directed O’Brien in “The Rainbow TA'iiß’ and ‘Mystery Ranch.” Also further of - the serial, “The Air Mail” and good, supports.
