West,"' a Universal production, stars .Hoot Gibson. He rides thrillingly, displaying every trick .known to horsemen, and a few ho invented himself. He d-ernonstratcs his versatility also in drivinsr a racing automobile at a terrific rate over the uncharted prairie, taking many dangerous skicb> to fill the picture, brimming with excitement. The plot ot the- story is cleverly handled. It. deals with a, wayward son of a. former rancher who is a prominent business man. The second attraction is "The. Kiss Barrier," in which Kd- I mund Lowe ia starred. Claire Adams heads the supporting trust. There is sparkling liuraoui- aikl gripping drama in this picture. It. opens on the battle front, wheife Captain March has crashed to earth in lus 'plane. " ' ■

LIBERTY THEATRE. "The Charmer' ia the finest picture yet to be screened in this City in which Pola, Negri has been cast in the principal role, and it will be accepted as one of the season's most elaborate* and thrilling productions. i\o more idles 1 choice could) be imagined for Pola Negri's personality and talent. Thrills abound in the second attraction, entitled "Into the Net," which features Jack Mulhall and Edntt Murphy. Written by tho Commissioner of New York Police, the Btory of this picture shows how criminals with master minds work-in the underworld and' dives of that great oity. "Playing with Souls" tells of the utter STRAND THEATRE.

Mary Astor is very sweet and charming; sa the little girl with whom young Collier falls in lore. '"The Burning Trail," featuring Wm. Desmond,. "The Fighting Ranger" (ep. 5), and) n. comedy are also shown. GRAND THEATRE. "The White Sister," now showing in the Grand Theatre, has been adapted to the screen from the widely-read and famous novel of the same name by F. Marion Crawford, and it glorifies and magnifies the unquestionable charm and art of the demure Lillian Giah. She. is the only one who could havo carried- the noble traditions of the greatest personalities of the speakin" stage, to the silver sheet as she does in "The Whito Sister." Very .delightful is '.thl prologue to "The White Sister." Miss ■Olga Waoked, accompanied- by little Joan Hughes -and other talented pupils of Miss Lucy Cowan, enacts it with skill and charm.
