Foxton Talkies

A closely guarded silk train racing against time, a murder in the baggage car, two special and trusted guards secretly working to stop the train at all costs, still another murder, a dying man and his daughter counting the minutes from Seattle to New York, a luck detective trying to solve the mystery—that’s the list of characters and the sort of drama you will see when AVarncr Bros.’ “Silk Express” opens at the Foxton Town Hall to-night. It is a very unusual sort of mystery this, photographed almost entirely on hoard tho only train that takes precedence over a President’s private special—the silk express. Spectaculai shots include rolling down inside the entire length .of the speeding train—and many interesting and exciting shots of the loading silk train. Neil Hamilton, Sheila Terry and Guy lvibbee are the leading players.
