“CANYON OF ADVENTURE” AT LYRIC
“The Canyon of Adventure,’’ a title that suggests all of the fast action and romance, as well as the daring stunts, for which Ken Maynard is noted, is now at the Lyric Theatre. The story is of early California during the days of Spanish rule, just prior to its entry into the Union. This was the time when the huge land grants of the grandees were under the eyes of the “gringo” land grabbers. According to authentic history the U.S. Government was trying to protect these land grants by having them registered. Maynard plays the role of a daring and dashing land agent who, on behalf of the Government, endeavours to save these lands for original grant holders. The story has been worked into one of the most entertaining and fast moving of all the Maynard Westerns. The second feature is “The Wonderful Lie,” a great drama of romance and rivalry between officers in the old Austrian Army.
