EVERYBODY’S

“THE TERROR” Fast action, thrills and love are ihe necessities for a successful motion picture. These are the component parts of “The Terror,” the Universal Blue Streak Western, starring Art Acord, which opens at Everybody’s Theatre to-night. This picture, with its fine story, its excellent cast and its first-rate direction, is one of the most entertaining pictures offered to theatregoers for many weeks. Acord’s long experience in the saddle and his leading lady’s long experience in the Ziegfeld Follies, offer

a combination of leads hard to beat. Velma Connor is decidedly sweet as the heroine, and the cause of much of the action. There is a bandit’s hiding place to which Acord goes when mistaken for another hold-up man. Here things happen rapidly as the band gets a dastardly plot under way to rob a rancher and steal his daughter. But being “in” with the bandits, Acord sees an opportunity to frustrate the plan, whereupon follow several reels entertainment plus. A brilliant supporting cast is composed of Edmund Cobb, Dudley C. Hendricks, C. E. Anderson, Jess Deffobach and Hank Bell. The direction of the picture was in the capable hands of Clifford Smith, who chose some unusually charming settings for the action.
