AT SOUTHBRIDGE.
ZANE GREY ROMANCE FOR TO-MORROW.
Zane Grey's famed action-romance "Wild Horse Mesa," made into" a Paramount picture with a cast headed by Randolph Scott^ Sally Blanc, Fred Kohler, Lucile La Verne, Charley Grapewin and Jim Thorpe, will be the big attraction to be screened at the Southbridge Town Hall tomorrow evening.
The picture, which follows the novel closely, has as its central character Chane Weymer, a hard-riding plainsman with his heart set on capturing a great white stallion, leader of a herd of wild horses. Scott plays the role. Scott's trouble with Kohler, head of a band of outlaws, comes to a head when he blocks the latter's attempt to capture the wild horses by extremely brutal means. Kohler goes back to town, represents himself as a kind-hearted business man interested only in horses, gets the backing of Miss La Verne, her beautiful daughter, Miss Blanc, and her eccentric brother, Grapewin. Out of the mesa, Miss Blanc and Scott meet and fall in love. And when he tells her and her mother what they have gotten into, there follows a dramatic, breath-taking climax, in which Kohler and Scott settle their accounts permanently. Supports include two comedies, a travelogue, and a British Sound News.
