Lovers of that type of photoplay which provides thrills galore, and which forces one to-gasp in amazement, would do well to see William Fox’s newest soldier-cowboy star, Buck Joneis to-night, in “The Last Straw,” a story by Harold Titus. According to advance reports, the story of “The Last Straw” provides Buck Jones with numerous opportunities to bring into play many stunts that have hitherto been regarded as impossible on the screen. 1 London, the city of mystery, hid-' ing place for the maste_r criminals of the world. The city which inspired Dickens to write of Fagin, Bill Sykes and the Artfu) Dodger. The city where, Conan Doyle’s famous detective, Sherlock Holmes, hunted in the underworld for bizaiTe and weird adventure. The home of Scotland Yard and that other equally famous, if not as well known, detective agency, Wakefield’s. The disappearance of the famous Randall rubies caused an international sensation,.and baffled the police of two continents, and the exploits of tlie two detectives in running to earth these famous crooks, makes one of the most thrilling mystery dyamas that has ever been screened.
