AMUSEMENTS

THREE STARS As the editor of the “Glory Hole Nugget” W. S. Hart in “Truthful Tulliver” essays a role altogether new. His recommendations for his new profession are, a determination to tell the truth, great ability with the lassoo, first class horsemanship, and, lastly, two grim six-shooters. With these latter articles he is willing and anxious to back up his opinions. The story is breezy and full of rapid action, and contains an unusually fascinating double love story, Alma Renbens and Nina Byron are the two ladies of. the play, and both are pretty and act charmingly. There are some terrific scenes when the conflict between Hart and the evil elements of the town reaches its height. “There is not a penpusher in Arizona who can run me out of town.’* This is the leading scoundrel’s taunt when W. S. Hart as the hero of “Truthful Tulliver” publishes an article in his paper •headed “Deacon Doyle must go!”

EVERYBODY’S Ever want to be a highwayman? Ever feel like getting a horse at midnight and rushing to hold up a rich man’s coach? Ever want to make love to a girl over a rose balcony of Romance, with officers and police all around? Of course. Well, Lou Tellegen in “The Black Wolf” does all these things and makes you feel the thrill of his adventures so much that it’s almost as good as doing them yourself. You’ve read romance stories. You livei a sort of daily romance yourself, but “The Black Wolf” —yes, Lou Tellegen is the wolf, a highwayman—will add a whole book of romance to your life. It is great; it is thrilling, clean and pure and lovable all through. It doesn’t turn out just like a book, because there are troubles as well as pleasures and it ends so suddenly in such a happy way that it leaves you laughing. It exhilarates you—makes you want to laugh at yourself for thinking knights and love, cavaliers and beautiful maidens and romance were all dead. Another feature of the entertainment is a second Arbuckle comedy, entitled “A Reckless Romeo.” The fat comedian has never appeared to so much advantage as in “A Reckless Romeo.” For clear, clean comedy it eclipses even the “Butcher B'oy.”
