“THE TIMBER WOLF.”

Starting on Wednesday at the Cosy de Luxe, a William Fox production. “The Timber 'Wolf,” starring Buck Jones.—Of its kind a very likeable drama, and one which gives Jones n greater opportunity of proving his worth as a screen lover. As an oveiecer of a lumber camp, the hero, virile and unafraid, is an ideal person for the position. He is greatly interested in a particular young lady who appears destined to be the wife of a notorious bad man—keeper of the local dance hall, and a bootlegger de luxe. In order that the young woman is not allowed to make a foo: of herself, the overseer carries her away to his cabin in the woods, “taming” at the hands of a caveman lover. The husband-to-bc makes a great effort to rescue the young lady, all to no avail; and, in a, gun duel between hero and villain, the former is rather badly wounded. Here is an opportunty for the girl to return to the camp. She, however, decides to tend the overseer, and, before long, it is very evident that she is in love with the invalid. Again, learning of the true character of her former gentlemen frieno, it is a comparatively easy matter to cut him adrift from her personal interest. This is but a brief outline of a narrative which has plenty action—including a couple of fights that will gladden the heart of the lover of this kind of thing. Some very fine outdoor photography aids “The Timber Wolf” consderably.
