AMUSEMENTS.

COSY THEATRE. Nebuchadnczzer, the saddest hound in the wo'rld, adds a lot of laughs to “The Last Trail,” Fox Films version of Zane Grey’s novel, starring Tom Mix and coming to the Cosy Theatre to-night. The story centres about an Arizona mining camp, where desperados have made stage robbing one of the principal industries. Robert Brower has the role of a deputy sheriff who owns Nebuchadnczzer, a bloodhound that has a “nose” for tracking desperados. The deputy trails the bandits, with the hound out in front tugging at the chain. The dog scents, out Kurt Morley, supposed to be one of the town’s substantial citizens, and insists that Morley is the man his master is hunting. The deputy concludes that such a reputable person as Morley could not be connected with the stage robbers and leads the dog away. Nebuchadnezzar is continually on the I bandits’ trail and frequently lie scents | out Morley, but it is not until. Mix has knocked out the leader of the gang that Morley is taken into custody after the hound has nosed him out for the tenth time. William Davidson plays the role of Morley. Carmelita Geraghty is Nita Carrol, the feminine lead. Reserves at Vare’s.
