CAPITOL

NEW PROGRAMME TO-NIGHT “Good as Gold,” starring Buck Jones, will be screened to-night,at the Capitol Theatre. Jones has the role of a young man who is systematically robbing trains to get the payrolls of -a mining company because the mine was stolen by claim-jumpers who killed his father. The claim-jumper dies and leaves the property to his niece, who decides to defy the desperado. Buck holds up the train and takes the money from the girl, but that starts a sequence of events which results in the ownership of the mine becoming “a family matter.” It is a drama with all the action and thrill which Jones puts into his Westerns, with unusual situations that have the gorgeous scenery of the Grand Canyon of the Colorado as a background. The second feature on the programme will be “Breakfast at Sunrise,” starring Connie Talmadge. Marian Nixon, diminutive screen actress who danced her way into pictures six years ago when she made her appearance at a Los Angeles show house, just can’t keep her feet still. She got right on with her footwork in “Out All Night,” the Universal Supper comedy starring Reginald Denny. The tiny actress is reputed to be the best dancer in the film colony, studying under Oumansky, Russian ballet dancer, of Los Angeles.
