THE MAORILAND THEATRE.

BUCK JONES IN “THE GENTLE . CYCLONE.” Thrills, from the moment the first sequence opens until the last man is - whipped, in the final fadeout! This, in a word, tells the gripping , story of “The Gentle Cyclone,” Fox Films Western starring Buck Jones, opens in Shannon on Saturday. Rare*; ly in a picture is Buck called upon to do so much hard riding and to show as much expert horsemanship as he develops in this newest Fox production “THE RUNAWAY EXPRESS.” Lovers of railroad stories, and who is not, will be thrilled to within an inch of their lives when “The Buna- ■- way Express, ” a Universal-Jewel comes to the local theatre on Monday. In this stirring tale, which was adapted ■ to the screen from Frank Spearman’s “The Nerve of Foley,” Director Edvard Sedgwick has captured and im* moralized on the screen, all the romance and heroism of the railroader. In addition to realistic scenes, showing the inside workings of the tasks of trainmen and the dispatching of the great iron monsters on their swift and ’rresistible journeys, Curtis Benton the scenarist, has interwoven a beautiful love story in “The Runaway Express,” between Joe Foley, the brawny, goodlooking engineer, played by Jack Daugherty and Norah Kelly, the sweet, Irish waitress, portrayed by Blanche Mehaffey.
