HIPPODROME
“THE WILD BULL’S LAIR” A great Easter attraction to commence to-day at the Hippodrome Theatre will be Fred Thomson's latest picture, “The "Wild Bull’s Lair.' Original in conception and worked out with skill by the director, Bel. Andrews, it is regarded as one of the most thrilling and delightful in which the athletic star has appeared. Thomson is seen as Dan Allen, a ranch foreman, who enters a rugged mountain district in pursuit of cattle stealers. To cover his tracks the wily half-breed bandit spreads tales that the mountains are inhabited by a weird supernatural being. The climax of the picture is a death struggle with a wild bull, in which the hero finally .... rcomea the huge beast. The star’s clever horse, “Silver King,” has many *ipportunties to show his great intelligencc. “The story of ‘The Wild Bull’s I.air’ differs materially from the average western picture,” says a critic. “It has humorous situations, which will entertain any audience, and with it all is one of the most exciting fights ever .xcn- ned.” There is also a charming romance between the star and his employer • daughter.
