TOWN HALL TALKIES.

TOM MIX IN RODEO PICTURE. In “The Rustlers’ Roundup,” the latest Tom Mix-Universal feature, which has been booked to play the Town, Hall on Wednesday,, a real, honest-to-goodness, rodeo, with thrilling events, such as roping steers, lariat throwing, stage-eoach races, and many other breathtaking stunts, will be incorporated in the film. It forms a good portion of the footage of the picture, lending an unusual, thrilling note of suspense and excitement to a Western story which is brimful of action, feats of horsemanship, and a charming love story. Mix, who has won many prizes at nationally famous rodeos, participates in all of the rodeo events shown in the film, and his facility is easily recognised. In a burst of applause and the cheers of the crowds thronging the grandstand, Mix wins the stagecoach race and is awarded a jewelstudded saddle from the judges. The cast supporting Tom Mix in this action-film includes Diane Sinclair, Noah Beery, Jr., William Desmond, Douglas Dumbrille, Roy Stewart and Frank Lackteen. The picture was directed by Henry Macßae, ace of western directors. A fine list of shorts include Slim Summerville in a comedy, “Peeking in Pekin,” “Strange as it Seems” (Interest Series), “Mechanical Man” (Cartoon) and two Graham McNamee News Reels. Pat Hanna’s “Diggers” will be the big attraction this week-end.
