“WILD HORSE MESA” IN PICTURE FORM.
CRYSTAL PALACE SHOWS ZANE GREY NOVEL. Mr Zanc Grey’s stories are always entertaining and popular, whether in book form or on the screen. He has developed remarkably the art of storytelling. Anything from his pen and imagination is a sure draw to the bdbkshops or to the picture theatres. This was proved at Greater Crystal Palace last night, when many- of his admirers enjoyed “Wild Horse Mesa,” produced by the famous Paramount studios in their polished style and with some of their best players. There is Mr Grey’s own word for it that “Wild Horse Mesa” is one of his best works. It certainly is one of the best Western pictures shown at Greater Crystal Palace, which has had the pick of stories of that character. The filming was done away out in the canyons, mesas, and deserts of the West, where all the scenery is picturesque and impressive. It is the home and the habitat of a kind of adventure and romance found in no other part of the world. Miss Florence Vidor and Mr Tom Moore take leading parts in the second big picture shown at Greater Crystal Palace last night, “ The Trouble With Wives.” This is a sparkling comedy, dealing lightly with problems of married life, and recalling some of the most popular stage farces.
