“BOOTS AND SADDLE.”

“IT HAPPENED OUT WEST.”

Harold Bell Wright’s latest and greatest thrill-teeming story, of an easy-going Easterner who makes the wild West wilder by out-bluffing and out-roughing the tough hombres who menace his romance, means exciting screen fare at the Cosy Theatre, where “It Happened Out West,” opens tomorrow night with Paul Kelly and Judith Allen in the featured roles. In keeping with all Harold Bell Wright fiction, the story is a strictly modern one of the new West, a virile, fast-moving plot of the type that has made the author prominent among outdoor adventure writers. The story centres around Paul Kelly, as the two-fisted trouble shooter for an Eastern trust company, and lovely Judith Allen, young heiress who is endangering her legacy by experimenting with dairy farming on her ranch. The plot at once brings the romantic leads together by sending Paul to the ranch to attempt to dissuade Judith from her plan. The growing love is brusquely interrupted by the evil activities of the ranch foreman, Leroy Mason, who is determined to seize control of the ranch from Judith. The second attraction, the story of “Girls’ Dormitory,” is concerned with an exclusive finishing school attended only by the daughters of the very rich. In this school, the girls are taught everything except that which the rules forbid—life. The film is a dramatic, realistic portrayal of a young girl’s first love. Eager to live, yet half-afraid Simone at first whispers or her love only to her heart but later, like a woman, she fights for the happiness that only love can bring.
