CATTLE THIEVES CAUGHT ....
RED-HANDED BY HERO

Courage is synonymous with the
spirit of the west. And in Louis Ben
nison's latest Betzwood production,
"High Pockets" which will be dis
tributed by Goldwyn, and shown at
the Nogales Theater tomorrow, the
star is called upon to exhibit that
brand of courage which bringe whist
ling from the threats of admiring
Bennison gallery gods.
In the story, High Pockets" the
U. S. marshal, has learned of the
plans of gang of thieves to steal
the cattle of an Eastern girl. AS a
prelude to their marauding, they kill
her brother, and a few days later
calmly proceed to the ranch, round
up the cattle, and get down to the
business in hand. The steers have
been driven into the corral, the brand
ing irons, which were to replace the
girls brand with their own, were in
the fire, the first steer had been
thrown, one of the gang sitting on
his head, another holds his hind legs,
while a third prepares to apply the
iron.
Into this scene "High Pockets"
comes with drawn gun, vcrnpeis the
thieves to release the animals, put out
the fire, and march ahead Of him to
the county judges home. Here they
are forced to purchase for hand
some figure what they desired to
steal
Although the hero in the story did
not encompass any physical danger in
the filming of this scene, the impress
sion of the danger he is supposed to
run, registers strongly on the screen
and the courage which we associate
