“THE CIRCUS ACE.”

Tom Mix found a new diversion for Tony, his famous horse, while making scenes for “The Circus Ace,” Fox Films latest drama 'starring Mix. “Mr Sydney Springer,” a kangaroo recently brought from Australia by Harry Abdy, an English showman and actor, is featured in this drama as part of the circus menagerie and pet of the cheif buncoman.

I Tony is . one of the most famous j “cow” horses m the West and .among, his favourite diversions is running down goats while Tom lassos them, a difficult sport, because the goat is so small that the horse has trouble in following it. Tom sent Tony after' the kangaroo. It was a now sport for the liorse, but after the first attempt he had no difficulty in rounding up the leaping native of Australia, and giving Tom a good opportunity to rope the animal. It was Mix’s first turn at the sport, .but in spite of the fact that the kangaroo was in the air half the time, Tom roped him half, a dozen times in succession and then declared that the first time work would permit it, he intended to go to Australia and rope the Toos on their own soli.

“The CR’cus Ace,” which is coming to the King’s for a two-night idiowihg commencing to-night was directed by Ben Stolbff from a story by Harold Shuman.
