AM USEMENTS

..... ——— — — ■ - - PEERLESS PICTURES. At the Town Hall to-mgnt William itusseil m the Wm. box picture “Colorado Pluck’’ riues mto the hearts of his admirers on one of the most smoothly running motion picture vehicles yet budt for the silver screen. “Colorado Pluck” boasts a latitude extending from the ‘ every man his own law” atmosphere of Lie typical mining camp of tne West to the atmosphere of European nobility. In it there are said to be two laughs for every sigh and two thrills for every laugh. It is the story of a successful Western miner who visits jn«w York’s famous Gay White Way, and eventually goes to England and marries a daughter of nobility—and therein his worries begin. The luckless miner soon realises his money, not he, was the attraction to the girl. A bad investment brings him down and he decides that his arrogant wife must accompany him to America to engage again in mining. There is a touch of sadness in the big-hearted miner’s almost child-like endeavours to win the- love of his haughty wife, yet. the wide gulf seems impossible to bridge until the husband is shot by one of several ruffians who have jumped his claim during his absence abroad. The closing action includes some exceedingly beautiful and impressive scenery, Sunday’s attraction is a Selznick special “Poor Dear Margaret Kirby,” featuring Elaine Hammerstein, and also included in the programme is the last episode of “The Diamond Queen,” and the first episode of “The White Horseman,’ featuring Art Acord. <ttmgsa
