THE PICTURE HOUSES.

COSY DE LUXE. Paramount’s production “Love’Em and Leave ’Em,” which comes to the Cosy to-night, goes over with a big bang. We recommend it as an exampe of what the modern movie should be. No trick camera work nothing pretentious, no night clubs no mobs; just a simple story transferred to the screen with good taste by Director Frank Tuttle. Lawrence Gray, Louise Brooks and Evelyn Brent supply the necessary triangle of what has everywhere been acclaimed an unusually fine tale. Get a tight grip on your seat when you see the supporting picture with you see the picture with Tom Mix, “The Great K and A Train Robbery,” for the film has more thrills, more hard and fast riding and more good scenery than you’ll get in a dozen other Westerns. Tom is cast in the role of Tom Gordon, who has the tough job of running down a gang of desperadoes in looting K and A trains. The gang makes things almost as hot for Tom as he does for them. MUNICIPAL. Fred Humes steps into the feature Western class with “Prowlers of the Night,” the Western drama which comes to the Municipal Theatre tonight. After appearing in numerous tworeel Western dramas, Humes has been elevated to the rank of a feature Western star, and takes up the route travelled so successfully by Hoot Gibson, Jack Hoxie, Art Acord and Other Western satellites. Humes comes to his new position well equipped. For he not only rides, ropes and acts as well as any of his contemporaries in this field, but he brings with him a new personality which is just as certain to register in the longer photoplays as it did in the short subjets. There is youth, some of the light hearted breeziness of the West in Humes’ smile, and the dull, dour characterisations which dampen some Western pictures are ever absent from his.

In support is shown the serial, Chapter 2 of “Strings of Steel,” with . William Desmond starred, and a host of minor supports.
