FRIDAY NEXT

H. R. H. the Prince of Wales loaned his beautiful Albertan ranch to the Universal Pictures Corporation tor the filming of part of “The Calgary Stampede," a Universal-Jewel, which is coming to the King’s Theatre on Friday next. , . , Unusually romantic and colourtul scones were shot during the stampede, but none departs from the story, and a ivet'-constructed plot holds the scenes together. The Prince of Wales ranch is one of the most beautiful spots in the world

A remarkable goal-scoring feat was accomplished in the Nortlnvieh District Schools League recently, when nmningto l defeated Hartford hv goals to 1. Only thirty minutes weer played each wav, which makes the accomplishment more astounding.

and, according to those who have seen previews of “The Calgary Stampede” the picture contains many exquisite scenic i shots.

Included in this great epic of the West, are the sports of the cowboy, the Indian, the packer, the prospector, the stage-coach uriver, such as bronco busting, calf roping, riding of wild range .cows and steers, wild cow milking, handling of wild horses and wilder cattle, chuck wagon races, California cart races, democrat races, cow-horse races, Indian races, squaw races, Indian tepee races, pack races, fancy and trick riding and roping and the famous wild horse race. Altogether it makes one of the most interesting backgrounds to a gripping drama of the West ever presented on the screen. The story was written by £,. Richard Schayer and Don Lee. Herbert Blache, noted student of the West, while Gibson’s supporting cast includes Virginia Brown Faire. Clark Comstock, Ynea Soabury, Jim Corey, W. J. McCulley, Philo McCullough, Charles Sellon, Ena Gregory, Frank Rice, Tex Young and Bill Gillis.
