“THE DANGEROUS LITTLE

DEMON.”

What Los Angeles newspaper critics called the most beautiful ball room set ever staged, was erected at Universal City for the comedy-drama starring Marie Prevost, “The Dangerous Little Demon,” which comes to the local Theatre on Saturday. On the biggest stage at Universal City a

hardwood floor was laid and over its surface women in gowns of the latest cut and colours passed to and fro with men immaculately attired in evening dress. After two or three scenes of ball-room dancing, a curtain parted at one end and down the floor with a partner whirled a vision of loveliness, a beautiful girl in black silk tights, with an inconspicuous skirt of shimmering jet sequins catching the light; a small silver'hat perched at a jaunty slant over her dark tresses and her feet in highJheeled slippers—Marie Prevost, in the nearest approach to a bathing suit ihat she has yet used in her career in

drama. “THE CONQUEST OF CANAAN.” A special feature is due on Monday in "The Conquest of Canaan,” one of Booth Torkington’s finest stories. Thomas Meighan is the star. “RIDING WITH DEATH.” On Tuesday (Boxing Night), Buck .Tones, the noted star—who is no longer Buck, but Charles, and so

christened—will be seen as a Texas Ranger in his latest Fdx picture, "Riding With Death.” Time and time again Rangers and ex-Rangers, riding and fighting elbow to elbow wilh Jones, have told him: “You ought to have been one of ns. If ever there was a man cut out ,to be a Ranger,

it’s you.” And now Charles Jones, the erstwhile “Buck” of many live action nictdres of the west, is a Texas Ranger—on the silver screen. ‘‘THE GHOST IN THE GARRET.” Next Wednesday’s offering will be “'The. Ghost in the Garret,” in which Dorothy Gish Is the leading star. It is full of startling incidents, as will be rem from the publicity on page 1.
