GAMBLER WITH LIFE

•CHAMPAGNE CHARLIE." A gambler with life a player at love—that is the type of role debonair Paul Cavanagh portrays in the drama of love on two continents, "Champagne Charlie," coming next Wednesday to the Plaza Theatre. Teamed with lovely Helen Wood, Cavanagh plays the role of a man whose life is devoted to the gaming tables and the appreciation of golden wine. Compelled to repay his backers, he turns to courting an American heiress. The picture follows their strange mad courtship through the gay pleasure haunts of Europe to the United States. When facts which he did not suspect suddenly come to light. Cavanagh shows his courage and decency in the surprising climax. Having the distinction of being the first film in screen history to feature a dog and a horse. ‘Two in Revolt” is on the same programme. The unique team is composed of Lightning, a descendant of the silent screen canine favourite Strongheart, and Warrior, a pedigree stallion. The adventures of the two animals, who grow up together on a Montana ranch, furnish what are said to be some of the most amazing scenes ever filmed, a battle with a wolf pack being one of the many dramatic highlights of the film. Kent Taylor, currently featured in a leading role in Paramount's ‘‘The Skv Parade,’’ was horn on a ranch six miles from the tiny town of Towa. His early life was spent on the hack 'f a pinto pony.
