This is a picture with an air of definite and absolute realism. 3t is replete with unique situations. ruifl whilst it is crammed full of action (hero is not one scene which can offend the eye of t.hc captious censor. "A Western IJuskctccr" is a photo-play with a story that hr.s no problem to perplex the mmds of children, nor marital misunderstandings to remind jrrnwn-ups that life is not all romance. 31 is a story of the crent American West. Tl leads the spectator into a work) apart from his daily life, and as it unfolds he is given delightful forIgetfulness of the cares of the day. It starts off without a moment's delay, moves with lightning speed, and bejomes a veritable loop-the-loop of rough ridinp, straight, shooting, and heroics. The director of this remarkable picture, W. C. Bertram, has a 1 part in the cast. Gladys Walton, in "The Wild Party," is the second feature. Leslie Adams was an ambitious girl. As secretary to a city editor of a metropolitan newspaper she had aspirations to do imaginative writing. The city editor, finally persuaded, against liis better judgment, gave her an assignment. What she did offered ample proof that this original judgment was correct. One story, which started out to be an account of a social event, developed into a police story. The story resulted in a threatened libel suit. The city editor gave her the alternative of proving her statements or losing 1 her job. Sho set out to provo sho was right in having chronicled the events, having referred to a "wild party." Plenty of opposition was met with. Sho was never able to completely establish the truth of hor story, but, she managed to fall in love with and win the love <if tho man who threatened the libel snit. Tne settlement of the affair was entirely effective. It is an entertaining picture, full of humorous situations and rapid action. The supports are: "The Ghost City" (chapter 4), International News, and "Apartment Wanted" (Lee Moran Comedy).
