“THE WITNESSES VANISHES"

AT THE STATE THEATRE “The Witness Vanishes” is a thrilling story dealing with a London newspaper publisher, who had been sent to an insane asylum—twenty years before the story opens—by four crafty but prominent business men. With his escape, comes the front-page news that he is bent upon murdering all four of them. Three of the group meet their deaths exactly as specified, in spite of the per- | sonal guarding of the victims by Scotland Yard. I lie fourth mem--1 'oer is ready for his rendezvous with 1 the murderer on the appointed night, when the situation is thrown into an entirely different light by the • findings of a rival newspaper re- . porter. How a young rancher brings sixgun justice to a western range that is being terrorised by a ruthless swindler and his hirelings provides I dynamic outdoor action in George O'Brien's “Prairie Law.” “GREEN HELL ’ AT THE THEATRE ROYAL Hordes of head hunters play an important part in “Green Hell.” These savages, still found in the upper Amazon regions chosen as the locale of the film, form the menacing background for the picture. They - attempt to annihilate all of the principals. Nowhere on earth can be ’ found a more cruel and savage - people than the head hunters of the upper Amazon country.
