CENTRAL THEATRE PICTURES

TO-NIGHT.

“THE ONE-MAN TRAIL.”

Buck Jones, the William Fox cowboy star, does some amazing feats of horsemanship in his latest play, "The One-man Trail,” which will be shown at the Central Theatre to-night. Buck has come to the front rapidly. He is a fine example of the old-time daring cowboy—a figure always interesting to all picture followers. In the story Buck comes home from a ranch to find his sister has been in duced to elope with an oily,-tongued individual named Jim. Crenshaw. Buck sets out to find his sister. On the way he meets and falls in love with a pretty girl named Cressy. This adds interest to the plot, because Jim has tired of the sister and tries to throw her off and marry Cressy. Buck does same exceedingly clever work in his task of “getting” Crenshaw, and in this his horse Blondy has a genebt pus share. “BIG TOWN IDEAS.” There are thrills and laughs galore in "Big Town Ideas/’ a William Fbx feature to be displayed at the Central Theatre to-night, and in which Eileen Percy, one of the most beautiful women of the screen, is provided wtih one of the most amusing leads ever entrusted to her.

In “Big Town Ideas” Miss Percy, who is cast for the part of a pancake turner at a junction restaurant, is beset with one grand all-consuming ambition—to take off her apron, hang it in the kitchen, and go to New York City to live as .a "fine lady.” Her dream is realised, but not until after she becomes involved in a gaol delivery at the nearby penitentiary wherein an innocent man is set free, becomes the savior of a whole flock of valuable bonds that have been pur-t loined from their rightful owners, earns a big reward,, and finally sets out on her journey to the big city in the company, of a handsome youth, brushing rice from his new headgear. The story of "Big Town Ideas” is quite the fastest arid funniest offering that the local screen has been privileged to show.
