EVERYBODY’S

“THE FIGHTING PEACEMAKER” It may be only a coincidence, but just before starting work on “A Fighting Peacemaker,” Universal-Blue Streak Western picture play which is to be screened at Everybody’s Theatre commencing to-night. Jack Uoxie received an odd present from a convict doing a life term in San Quentin Prison in California. The coincidence is this: Uoxie, who is starring in “A Fighting Peacemaker” in the role of 'Peace River” Parker, does a four and a-half year stretch for a crime he did not commit, so the present is a gift from one convict to another. “A Fighting Peacemaker” is a great story of the cattle country and has to do with the efforts of cattle men to keep sheep men from encroaching with their flocks on the grazing lands; for it is a well-known fact that sheep leave nothing for cattle after they have grazed upon prairie land. Parker returns from his prison and joins with the cattle men in their fight. He also is led to believe that the girl who promised to wait for him loves another. Thrilling and unexpected situations fill the picture. The faith of a woman and a dog are proved while excellent comedy provides the picture with many a laugh. The players supporting Hoxie include Lola Todd, one of the Wampas Baby Stars fo.r 1925, Ted Oliver, William A. Steele, Robert McKenzie, Clarke Comstock, Tom Grimes, Bert DeMarc, Frank Rice and Floyd Criswell. Cliff Smith directed the picture.

“Down the Stretch,” a thrilling and realistic race drama, featuring Robert Agnew and Marion Nixon, will also be screened at Everybody’s.
