GRAND THEATRE

J TO-NIGHT. Paramount's "Gun Smoke," the main feature at the Grand Theatre, where it began yesterday for a threeday run, is the most up-to-date Western picture that has yet been shown on the talking screen. The time of this story is to-day. It deals with the mustang-hunting men of the Idaho badlands who round j up hundreds of wild horses each year, and sell them for handsome sums. Into this territory to escape arr'est at the hands of city police, comes a mob of gansters, bent on gaining new spoils from the peace-loving people of the West. The result is a number of exciting episodes and adventures, in which Westerners and city gangsters have ample chance to show their prowess as marksmen. Richard Arlen is the hero, the leader of the mustang-hunters who finally triumph over their urban enemies Mary Brian is the beautiful owner of the ranch about which much of the action centres. William Boyd, who was the villain of Gary -* Cooper's "The Spoilers," and of Jack Oakie's "The Gang Buster" is the "big shot" of the gun mob. Eugene Pallette is the rollicking j Romeo of the ranch who carries on j a laugh-pr ov oking love affair with ! Louise Fazenda, the ranch cook and j servant to Miss Brian. \
