RIALTO AND RECENT, EPSOM

“THE WAR HORSE” Thrills, action and suspense, liberally sprinkled with feature Fox Films’ latest production. “The War Horse/* with Buck Jones yn the stellar role, which is now at th*3 Rialto and Regent Theatres. x The story was written by I&ick Jones, and if this is an example\of what the great Western horseman cam do with the typewriter, then our advice is for him to write all the stories in which he is featured. “The War Horse” tells the tale of Grey Eagle, played by Silver Buck, and his adventures on European battlefields. This is a splendid tribute to the horse and as the tale unfolds both human and equine actors go through a series of adventures that are of absorbing interest. A fine romance involving Buck and Audrey Evans, played by Lola Todd, supplies the love interest, while Buck's efforts to win her dejy>ite the opposition of an officer wfto wants to marry the girl himself, furnishes the picture with plenty of pomedy. All in all, “The War Horse” is the kind of picture that is certain to please every member* of the family.

Bearded Scots, in tartans and shields, with claymores and other weapons of the romantic Highlands, march a thousand strong in impressive ceremonies to the martial tunes of the bagpipes, and battle in the rugged Highlands in tremendous conflicts in Lillian Gish’s latest and most spectacular starring picture, “Annie Laurie.” Norman Kerry plays the leading male role.
