The Paramount Picture Corpora
|
gain" to be shown today, tomorrow
| and Saturday at the Paramount
! Theatre, on Broad street, ranks with
the best Western dramas shown
| since film features were inaugurated.
| It has all the attributes of the best
things in pictures: exceptional scenic
! beauty, compelling interesting story,
and capital pantomimic actors.
The incidents move with remark
| able speed and frequency to the eff
fectiye climax. William S. Hart, as
| Jim stokes, the two-gun man, a
| desperate who reforms under the in
| fluence of love, is as fine and polished
| a bit of artistic creation as a Fred
| erick Remington sketch. He does
o fall with horse that takes away
tho breath of the audience. Horse
| and man roll over and over again
down a steep bank. The story of the
bad man and his regeneration has
an occasional touch of gentle humor.
