AMUSEMENTS

KING’S THEATRE.

THE OPEN RANGE.”

The hero, the heroine, ami the had man. They’re with us again, but in slightly different form. This time, as enacted by Lane Chandlei, Betty Bronson and Fred Kohler, they’re at the King’s Theatre in a new Zane Grey Paramount Western, •‘Open Range.”

The hero is a handsome, cocksure cowpuncher, who doesn’t give a hoot about anything or anyone until he meets the heroine. And, if you can imagine the ‘ Peter Pan” girl as a daughter of the cl d west, you’ll know that this heroine is not one of the usual stereotyped sisters of love. As for Fred Kohler, ii? you saw him in “The Rough Riders” or “Underworld,” you’ll realise that lie’s one man who never enacts the same characterisation twice.

Clifford Smith directed “Open Range” from John Stone, and J. Walter Ruben's scenario. VAUDEVILLE AT THE KINGS.
