HOOT GIBSON In "ACTION." Read what the severest Motion Picture critic in the world to-day has to say regarding " ACTION ": — In these days when our industry is prone to confuse great expenditure with great entertainment value, and look to the costs as a guarantee of excellence, it is refreshing to pause for a moment and give deserved praise to a production that did not cost a million dollars, and yet is in all respects a swift moving, inviting, absorbing, and compelling attraction. We refer to "ACTION." a Universal picture, in which Mr. Hoot Gibson is starred, and of which Mr. Jack Ford had the contriving. The day before we saw "ACTION" we saw a picture that cost -80,000 dollars. It was undoubtedly the most magnificent failure ever made. We were, therefore, vastly refreshed In viewing a picture of modest cost that evidenced genuine skill and that vitality which takes the spectator out of his seat into the story and carries him along with it as part and parcel of the narrative. "ACTION" is a rip-roari ug Western drama of strong men, a pretty woman, and the open country. It moves like a well-controlled hurricane. It has all the heart acceleration that penny dreadfuls gave us in our earlier youth, and manages to be live times as sane and believable. Definite characters of the old West move through it as in life with a Jack Ranee picturesqueness and charm.—ARTHUR JAMES. IN ADDITION, LEWIS .T. SELZNICK PRESENTS.

Tom Mix is not of this brand. He not only is without a peer in deeds of daring on the screen, but be invariably inspires his audiences with a sincere liking for the man himself as \ .reflected there.

The "Round Up," in which the action switches from a ranch to 'Frisco and back again. is crowded, of course, with thrilling iucident —else it would not be a Mix entertainment. Among the thrills are a number due to rescue work. lor example. Mix rescues a girl from a ruffian's insults by throwing the ruffian off a speeding trn'in He rescues this same girl later from a bunch of city thugs in a cafe. lie rescues the heroine from a big rattle snake on his ranch by his accurate long distance aim with a rifle. He rescues her again in the city, when she falls before a"stampedng steer at the stockyards. And he saves from death in a city park a little girl who is hanging head down on her runaway pony. Also he Is kept tolerably busy rescuing himself from his enemies. When Mix isn't rescuing somebody he's fighting a gang of thugs—with intermissons for attention to the Only Girl. , , Larrv Mcßride, Ranch Owner TOM MIX I / 1 Pee Wee, "the Runt" Gilbert Holmes i ' I Alice Beaumont Ora Carcwe j Luther Beaumont, her father .
