DE LUXE THEATRE.
A THRILLING WESTERN.
Fast action, thrills and love are the necessities for a successful motion picture. These are the component parts of "The Terror," the Universal Blue Streak Western, starring Art Acord, which Opens in Levin to-night. This picture, with its fine story, its excellent cast and its first rate direction, is one of the most entertaining pictures offered to theatregoers locally for many weeks. Acord's long experience in the saddle and his leading lady's long experience in the, Ziegfeld Follies, offer a combination of leads hard to beat. Velma Connor is decidedly sweet as the heroine and the cause of much of the action. There are interesting supports.
WEDNESDAY'S SPECIALS. Eichard Barthelmess joins the ranks <sf sheiks in his current production of "The White Black Sheep," which will be screened to-morrow night. "The White Black Sheep" is a highly colorful story commencing in an aristocratic London home and ending in the adventurous desert atmosphere of the Near East. Bracketed with it is "The Fighting Stailion," a Ben Wilson production, and one of the most unusual outdoor western productions ever exhibited, as the principal plot revolves around the chase and subsequent capture of an unknown stallion, a veritable monarch of the plains, accused of despoiling ranches for miles around of the choicest brood mares. How Yakima Canutt, the ace of cowboys, finally captures the stallion forms a thrilling climax and introduces Mr Canutt in a role well suited to his magnificent screen personality. "Boy," Yakima Canutt's wonder horse, also' plays an important role in "The Fighting Stallion."
