"TO THE LAST MAN."

Some of the most nigged scenery in the world and the most primitive inhabitants of North America are featured in Paramount's new picture, /'To the Last Man," a Zane Grey production coming to the Queen's Theatre on Friday. Los Wilson, Richard Dix, Noah Beery Frank Campeau, and Robert Edeson ■ are featured. The picture was made in Tonto Basin Arizona. The story is based on the Pleasant Valley War, a feud between cattlemen and sheepmen, fought in the late 'eighties in which both factions were wiped out, literally to the last man. The picture opens.with a chance meeting between Gaston Isbel and Lee Jorth, leaders of'the rival factions. Jean Isbel, son of Gaston,. comes to Arizona from Oregon to aid' his' father. He meets Ellen Jorth daughter of his father's, enemy, and'falls in love with her. Later he traces cattle rustlers to Jorth's ranch, thus precipitating a raid on the Isbel home. In the battle Guy Isbel is killed and one of the children mortally wounded. Gaston Isbel is treacherously murdered, and the Isbels are ambushed which pursuing the Jorths, and practically wiped out. Jean, the last of the Isbels, continues the fiffht, killing the last of the Jorth sympathisers, and ending by marryin-r Ellen, Jorth's daughter, thus_ terminating, the feud. The supporting programme will include the-latest Gazettes, Paramount, comedy and Burton Holmes Travelogue. The Queen's Grand Orchestra, which has recently been increased, will render a delightful specially selected''programme of incidental music. The box plan is at The Bristol.
