THE MAJESTIC "EAGLE'S BROOD ' William Boyd heads a stellar cast of players in the filmisation of Clarence E. Mulford's new story for Paramount, "The Eagle's Brood,” which commences to-morrow at the Majestic. Portraying "Hopalong Cassidy," Mulford’s famous western fiction character, Boyd impersonates one of the old west's fearless gun-fighters. In the "Eagle’s Brood,” "Hopalong” has become a man of the law, a peace officer in the great South-west, who can use his head as well as his hands. Jimmy Ellison, new western star, is seen inthe role of “Johnny Nelson,” youthful “pal" of Hoppy,” who idolises him and for whom “Hoppy” is continually trying to keep out of scrapes. Together they ferret out a band of “bad men” who have held the town of Hell Center in a reign of terror and through strategy they succeed in wiping them out and restoring law and order to the community.
