ENTERTAINMENTS.
ROYAL THEATRE. William Desmond, Universal star, and the company making “The Burning Trail,” the Universal Blue Streak Western, which comes to the Royal theatre, Wednesday travelled aproximately 1,000 miles to film exterior scenes. The entire company, including Arthur Rosson, the director, the star, the supporting cast, and the technical staff, journeyed from Universal City, California, to the range of territory beyond King City, California. The story is an unusually exciting one, and deals with a phase of western life productive of much drama, for it chronicles the relentless war waged between cattle ranchers and sheep ranchers to drive each other from the range. The star unwittingly gets into the midst of a bitter feud between leaders of the opposing factions, frustrates an attempted safe robbery, and eventually brings out peace between the warring ranchers. The picture contains many scenes of mingled drama and comedy, and depicts also the spectacular battle between ranchers. Ccntuary comedy: “Married Neighbours.” Friday, Bill Cody in “The Fighting Smile.”

Betty Compson is the wife. A comedy “Great Guns” and gazette are supporting films. Cabaret Prices.
