A special matinee is to be .screened on Friday afternoon. The evening admission prices are 1/6 and 1/for adults. Children 6d.

“THE CALGARY STAMPEDE.”

Thirty-six horses and ten wagons itll in a single train driven by one man. This was one of the extraordinary feats performed at the Calgary Stampede last summer to provide atmosphere for "The Calgary Stampede” Universal great Western epic which is coming to the lloyal theatre on Saturday with Hoot Gibson in the starring role. "The Calgary Stampede,” a thrilling story of the great West, was taken on the actual location where a company of 44 persons under Herbert Blache, director, spent two months filming the picture. Included in the action is a murder and the pursuit by the Royal Northwest Mounted Police. To aid the accurate portrayal of this incident, Inspector Spaulding of the R. N. W. M. P., whose division has head- 1 quarters in Calgary, assigned two “mounties” to be with the motion picture company. Part of the action was shot on the Prince of Wales E. P. ranch, following permission from the Prince granting this privilege to Carl Laemmle, president of Universal Pictures Corporation.
