CALIFORNIA ROMANCE
THE VANISHING FRONTIER. "The Vanishing Frontier," starring Johnny Mack Brown, and featuring E'valyik Knapp, Zasu Pitts, Raymond Hatton and J. Farrell MacDonald, will open at the Grand . Theatre on Saturday, July 29. Th'e story is set in the period immediately following California's annexation to the United States, but before the territorial government has ibeen set up. Under comman d of an unimaginative officer, ihe United States cavalary enforces martial law. Brown has the role of a SpanishAmerican who shows his resentment against the military rule by organising a band of guerillas to right the wrongs committed by the soldiers. Like some 18th century* Rohin Hood, he steals back from the cavalry the money they have taken from, the people, and then restores it to the former owners. Into the picture comes Miss Knapp, daughter' of a general. Brown, deeply in love with her, risks his life to see her. Soon she loves him, too. But there is much thrilling action before the two are finally united. That occurs only after the military government has been replaced by a civil one. The picture is filled with stirring and brieathless incidents. Battles between the guerillas and the military, escapes from a convict ship, midnight lddes through precipitous canyons, and imany other such sequences coiitrihute to the suspense.
