RIALTO, AND REGENT, EPSOM
“THE GLORIOUS TRAIL” “The Glorious Thail,” which is now playing at the Rialto and Regent (Epsom) Theatres, is based upon the stringing of the first telegraph wires that connected the West with the East. The West, prior to the advent of the telegraph, was still regarded as a lawless wilderness, which to some extent was true, but it brought a close contact that made the West a safer and more sought after place than before. “The Glorious Trail” tells of this tremendous stride in vivid, graphic pictures. It combines a real flash and blood activity. Ken Maynard’s portrayal of the young Scout and engineer whose business it is to get the proper protection for his men and to erect poles and string the wires that meant so much to this region of the country, is one of the best tilings he has yet done. ‘The Barker,” which is also being shown is a colourful story of street carnival life, starring Dorothy Mackaill and Milton Sills.
