RIALTO AND REGENT, EPSOM “TWELVE MILES OUT” A sensational story of romance on land and sea, entitled “Twelve Miles Out,” will be shown at the Rialto and Regent, Epsom, Theatres this evening. The story tells of Jerry Fay and Red McCue, both notorious adventurers, who invest their rivalry with the breezy swagger of sea-roving buccaneers. Fay escapes from a gaol sentence in a Spanish port, but Red is not so fortunate. Later Fay undersells McCue for the New York night club liquor trade, and McCue discovers that Fay pirates rum cargoes to do so—has even pirated McCue’s own boats. John Gilbert and Joan Crawford play the leading roles. ‘•The Gay Retreat,” starring Sammy Cohen and Ted McNamara, is the second attraction. “TURKISH DELIGHT” AT BRITANNIA Thrilling horsemanship is the keynote of “The Upland Rider,” to be shown this evening at the Britannia Theatre, starring Ken Maynard. The story deals with two rival ranches, one of which raises Palominos or cowponies, used generally in that section, and the other which is trying to substitute an Arabian strain of horse to that locality. The question is finally settled by a cross-country race in which the pick of both ranches are pitted. It is clearly a ease of staying qualities in the horses. “Turkish Delight,” a story of harem life and of a harem which was bequeathed to a woman-hater, is the second feature. Julia Kaye, Rudolf Sohildkrant and Kenneth Thompson are in the leading roles.
