Cold" liearls ;i programme of exceptional merit, commencing to-morrow. Although the Western thriller waned a little in popularity with the advent of sophist i-c.-it'ed plays and extravaganzas, it .still retains a Refreshing quality thai appeals to. everyone. "Desert Gold" shows the last stand of the Redskins. Exploited bv the white man, ihoy fight hard to preserve the secret of a'rich hidden mine, and with their resistance come more than the average'number of thrills. Therd is' a villain, of course, and the pretty. girl to whom ho is engaged; following precedent, she has an elderly"and kindly father; and (hen. naturally, a young mining engineer must arrive from the; East. That, then, is the story, and. for a Western story, quile sufficient. The riding, the shooting, and the scenery are better than any' story, and make one of the most entertaining funis of the kind I hat. have hern seen in Ctisborne. The photography and acting are both excellent. The'" supporting feature is "Too Many Parents." Willi Prances fanner, Heni'V Travers and Lester Matthews. The comedy. ''Miss Pacific Fieri." will he shown for the last time to-night.
