PRINCESS AND TIVOLI

“GLENISTER OF THE MOUNTED” “Glenister of the Mounted,” Lefty Flynn’s latest starring vehicle produced and directed by Harry Garson, is that rare thing-in motion pictures, a rattling fast drama in a great setting, with all the elements of entertainment bleiTding in just the right proportions to form a perfect whole. The forest fire scenes, in which “Lefty” recuses his two prisoners, supposedly husband and wife, from the menacing flames are thrililng in the extreme. This, too, applies to the episodes in the lake, where Glenister and his charges take refuge, and where he in turn is rescued by the alleged murderers. Briefly, the story revolves around Sergeant Glenister, the bloodhound of the mounted, who is set forth to capture Jack Danrock and the woman companion with him, both accused of the murder of one Partridge. Brocton’s partner. Following the best traditions of the famous mounted, and like the modern flapper. Glenister gets his man, only to be enveloped in a raging forest fire while they are camping one night on the way back to the post. From this point on the story travels fast and furiously to a stirring conclusion. Arthur Guy Empey wrote the original, recently published in magazine form, and William E. Wing adapted it to the screen.
