MIX STARS IN NEW ZANE GREY STORY.
Tom Mix, according to report, has packed an unusual number of thrills into his latest William Fox starring vehicle, “The Rainbow Trail,” which will be shown at the Town Hall to-night. “The Rainbow Trail” is even more thrilling than “Riders of the Purple Sage,” to which it is the sequel. Both stories are by Zane Grey, and therefore both breathe the spirit of the West, In the beautiful, rugged, snow-capped mountains of the North-west, Mix and Tony, his wonder horse, ride through perilous adventures. While making the picture, Mix performed deeds of new daring. The story is full of swift situations. The winsome Anne Cornwall shows marked dramatic ability in her portrayal of the leading role opposite Mr. Mix. “Lion Love” comedy and Fox News iu support. Prices as usual.
