DE LUXE THEATRE.

Zane Grey's great story, "The Thundering Herd," commences screening at the De Luxe Theatre to-night. It is a j special Paramount week attraction. The picture has tremendous dramatic- value, yet the thrilling story it narrates, the adventures and incidents it unfolds, and the- scenes it pictures, are based upon facts that are historically true. The photoplay was adapted from the absorbing novel of the same name by Zane Grey, and centres around the glamorous and colourful days of 1876.' Mr. Grey knows the "West in the early days as do few others, and Lucien Hubhard, who scenarised the story, and William K. Howard who directed it, have been careful to follow. I the novel down to its minutest details. Interwoven with the theme of the story, which concerns the long drive that -was begun in '76 to the buffalo fields of Wyoming and Montana, is a viriletromance the_ principals of which are Jack Holt and Lois Wilson. The big Indian attack upon the whites and the exciting stampede of a vast herd of buffalo furnish two of the many dynamic scenes for this epic picture. There will be a special musical programme with this picture by the De Luxe Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. L. D. Austin. Box plans now open at The Bristol, Aitken's Book Store, and the theatre.
