DUSTIN FARNUN TO-MORROW. Dustin Farnum is coming to the Grand Theatre, to-morrow in a William Fox picture, “The Primal Law.” based on a stirring Western story by E. Lloyd Sheldon. In the role ot Brian Wayne the popular screen star is given exceptional opportunities not only to appear in the heroic type of character, but also to display to greatest advantage the well known charm of his pesonality, in Brian’s devotion to his little pal, Bobbie Carson, and also in his scenes with Janice Webb, the lovely Eastern girl. Mary Thurman is Farnum’s leading woman in this picture. The story deals with a plot to wrest valuable lands from Western ranchers, and their fight against the conspirators. There is a rapid action and many tense situations. Suspense is said to be sustained throughout, with surprises occurring in striking fashion. Bernard Durning directed the production and his reputation should guarantee flue staging. This is the first ot several Fox feature productions starring Dustin Farnum which will be made in the current season. The supports will include “The King of the Circus, No. 17,” a rattling good Sunshine Comedy, Cartoons and two Fox Gazettes. Seats should be booked early for this attraction as large houses are anticipated. Plan at the Theatre.
