Everyone will admire Tim McCoy in “War Paint.” Women for his dashing charm, good looks, magnetism, fascinating personality and romantic bearing, men for his virile manliness, athletic prowess, super-horsemanship, daring and unaffectedness. Ho is one of the few white men alive who have been adopted into an Indian tribe. McCoy is known throughout America as “The Friend of the Redskins,” and by the Redmen themselves, as “ White Chief High Eagle.” Hundreds of his Redskin friends appear with him in “War Paint.” As an actor he is outstanding. This picture proves him to be a dramatic and romantic artist. “War Paint” was made under authentic conditions on the Wyoming Indian Reservation. It fascinatingly depicts the redskins’ sign language, their war-dances, their battle tactics and mode of life. Its story is logically told by a master-author, Peter B. Kyne, and enacted by a talented cast. Also showing* is a vivid story of the South Seas, filmed amidst a wealth of tropical splendour and starring Olive Borden, set forth in “Yellow Fingers,” which comes to the

screen of the Opera House to-night only. Chapter 8 of “The Radio Detective,’J also showing. Reserves at Henderson’s or theatre. ’Phone, 1048.
