TO-MORROW NIGHT. BIG DOUBLE PROGRAMME. BUCK JONES IN “FIREBRAND TREVISON.” The wildest ride that Victorville, Cal., once the headquarters of the toughest men the West has produced, has seen in many years, was that of Buck Jones, the Fox star, and Pat Harmon in the making of “Firebrand Trevison,” on the great Verde ranch. The picture, adapted from a story by Chrales Alden Seltzer and directed by Thomas N. Heffron, is coming to the Arcadia Theatre on Friday. One scene called for a ride of nearly a mile in which Harmon, as the villain, was pursued by Buck Jones. The villain on a light pony, the fleetest of foot on the ranch, was turned loose in a pasture some two miles in length lying in a. bottom along the Mojave river.

Buck, on Blondy, his sorrel horse, 15 hands high and weighing IOOOIbS, thought he would have an easy time to catch Harmon, as the picture required; but the pony ran with such speed that Buck had to chase him for more than half a mile to get with in shooting distance. “Blondy is one of the fastest horses 1 ever rode,” said Buck, “but that pony sure can travel.” Half the population of Victorville was out to see the race, which furnishes one of the big thrills in “Firebrand Trevison.” EILEEN PERCY IN “WHY TRUST YOUR HUSBAND?” If you were a wife and your hubby left you on the first anniversary of your wedding to attend a masquerade ball of very “rapid” character, what would you do to teach him a lesson? See what Eileen Percy does, as Eunice, the young and beautiful wife m the William Fox production Why Trust Your Husband?” to be shown at the Arcadia on Friday.
