AMUSEMENTS, MEETINGS, ETC.

THE GRAND. BUCK JONES IN “GOLD AND THE GIRL.” A story of gold and the greed for gold is the picture which was screened at tho Grand Theatre yesterday. It is a William Fox production starring Buck Jones, surrounded by a capable cast, including Elinor Fair, Bruce Gordon, Claude Peyton, Lucien Littlefield, and Alphonz Ethier. Edmund Mortimer directed. The scene is laid in Chance—so named, perhaps, because of the desperate chances that had been taken within its borders. There is a gold mine several miles distant, from which a wagon carries gold along a winding trail where bandits lurk. Buck Jones, in the role of a daring young insurance detective, is sent to Chance to try to put an end to the frequent attacks on the gold wagon. Ho immediately challenges the outlaws by driving the wagon from tho mine himself. Action begins at this point, and is fast and furious to the end, when Buck succeeds in capturing the bandits and winning the girl. It promises to bo an exciting film, well worth seeing. The supports include a tip-top Imperial comedy, entitled “Lion Love,” a Fox educational “Where The Waters Divide,” “Fox News,’’ and tho last chapter but one of “The Ghost City.” Tho plan for reserves is open daily at Grand Theatre. ’Phones 3152 or 2852.
