DOUG. FAIRBANKS IN PICTURESQUE ROLE AT GRAND THEATRE.
A gripping story of the South American pampas, of banditry’, romance and the lure of gold, “The Gaucho,” which is showing this week at the Grand Theatre, is indeed a picture of exceptional merit. Once again appearing in the. role of robber chief, the inimitable Douglas Fairbanks has chosen & colourful character in the Gaucho rider of the Andean border. It is noticeable that the Fairbanks pictures sparkle with humour, are swift in action, courageous in theme. yet at the same time they are free of any' “mphasis likely to react on the youthful mind. The majestic scenery and the general thoroughness of production have made "The Gaucho” a most ;ntertaining picture, and one that fully naintains the high standard of the Fairbanks successes. Lupe Yilez and Eve Southern have important roles and the supporting cast is a strong one. A romedy, scenic and gazette are the Dther attractions on the programme. The Grand Quality Orchestra play’s an appropriate programme of music.
