William 8. Hart in "Wason Tracks"
Offers Big Historical Drama Today
at the Colonial. kinosram Shows
Authentic Pictures Of the eolshe.
vik Reign Of Terror in Russia
Bill Hart-C. Gardner Sullivan
Wagon Tracks"-that is the great
combination that Manager Appleby
has provided for the patrons Of the
Colonial theatre today. Bill Hart as
everyone knows is q master Of act
ing: Mr.. Sullivan il q master in pro-
ducing screen plays that have a
punch and Wagon Tracks" is
masterpiece we'll worth the efforts of
the two men that have had a hand
IN its production.
The play is drama, not too heavy.
but serious in most Of its scenes but
with some genuine comedy. It is
historical for it takes the present
generation back to the days when
those long trails of prairie schooners
wandered over the fiat lands of the
West and there were Indians and
bandits and natural enemies to
fight.
Hart is the central figure Of the
play, scout and a plainsman. like
Kit Carson. There is strong
thread of romance with Jane Noval
| being the girl in the case. There
are Indians and pioneers. all the
strange figures of that early day
when men had to be strong in mind
and muscle to win out against SEEM
ingly insuperable obstacles. Then
too, the picture is accurate in its ev-
cry detail. The patrons Of the Co.
lonial will see Bill Hart as they like
to see him: as a real. red blooded
and relentless character with honor
as his greatest ideal and with brav-
cry his second nature.
Another mighty interesting picture
for today. though a short one. will
provide some authentic views Of the
Bolshevik reign of terror in Russia
views that were taken by an army
officer in Petrograd and smuggled out
of the country. A Harold Lloyd com
edy called Just Dropped In" is sure
to prove convulsing while the second
episode Of THE Red Glove" will be
even more thrilling than were the
incidents in the first showing.
