EVERYBODY’S

“BURNING THE WIND” One of the best of the fast-moving Hoot Gibson pictures is “Burning the Wind.” now at the Everybody's Theatre. Richard Gordon, senior, and Hen Ramon Valdes have been close friends and neighbouring landowners in California for many years. They recall in their memories the early days when Gordon came to the rescue of Valdes when the latter’s ranch was attacked by bandits. Gordon has .a son in the East, who, according to news items, is leading a wild life. Valdes has a daughter, and the two men regret that their children have not fallen in love with each other. In order to get young Gordon to return to the ranch the father stops his allowance and tells him that t> ir land is being unlawfully taken away from them by Valdes. Then Valdes tells his daughter that Gordon and his son are planning to take the Valdes land away from him. After that the two friends go into seclusion together and wait for results. With Hoot Gibson as the junior Gordon. affairs move at a rapid pace. The second feature is “The Barker,” a story of a cheap travelling carnival, with Milton Sills in the leading role, supported by Dorothy Mackaill and Betty Compson. There is no excuse for not spending an evening along the Gay White Way, dropping in on the night clubs, Chinese restaurants, and watching the flickering lights which made the thoroughfare famous. By way of diversion one may stop on Fifth Avenue and make a few social calls as part of your entertainment. All of this comes in Columbia's “Broadway Daddies,” with Jacqueline Logan, Alec B. Francis and Rex Lease. The picture may be recommended for the whole family and will j please everybody, who feels the call of Broadway in their veins, «
