' GRAND THEATRE. “GUN *SMOKE.” “Gun Smoke,” the Richard Arlen starring Paramount picture, which shows finally to-night at the Grand Theatre, Hawera, is as modern as aviation, yet it combines all the redblooded fervour, all the free-riding glamour, all the picturesque outdoors scenery of the true American, Western picture.

Arlen is seen as the enterprising young wild bi’oncho hunter, who makes a living, by rounding up choice riding stock from among the ownerless cavuses that roam the wild regions of the state. Into this untroubled community comes William Boyd, a gang leader from a big city in the East, with a half score of his lienc-hmen, out for a vacation while their latest activities in the big town blow over.
