BRITANNIA
“THE LAST OUTLAW” One of the most experienced of motion picture actors, and one of the newest stars, were brought together when Herbert Prior was cast as the “heavy” in “The Last Outlaw,” Gary Cooper’s second Paramount starring picture, which reaches the Britannia Theatre to-night. Cooper was six. years old when Prior started his picture career with I>. W. Griffith at the old Fourteenth Street Biograph Studio in New York. When Cooper began a couple of years ago, Prior had had many years of experience. In “The Last Outlaw” Prior plays Bert Wagner, the crooked rancher-politician, who hires Cooper as sheriff. Betty Jewel, Jack Luden, Billy Butts, and Jim Corey enact other important roles. Flash, the wonder horse, is again the star’s mount. “Man Power,” starring Richard Dix, which will also be shown to-night, is the story of a man, a maid and a tractor. How he drove the tractor into the breach of a crumbling dam and saved a town from destruction, is the thrilling background for one of the greatest romances that the screen has seen.
