Tom Mix in Hell Roarin' Re
FORM" is one of the biggest photo
play hits ever screened. 1t shows
Tom, the intrepid rider, leaping off
a roof on his horse. 1t shows a
gang of bandits pulling down a
church and it shows Mix in the role
of avenger as he rounds up those
same bandits in what is absolutely
conceded to be the most sensation
al series of motion picture events
ever filmed for any company for
any star and for any occasion.
On Sunday and Monday, the Ma
jestic will offer Dorothy Gish, who
scored her biggest hit in the role
of the little disturber in Hearts OF
the World" In Boots" she has by
far the best role she has had since
the big Griffith production and she
will please her admirers ten-fold.
The story is one of romance, in
trigue and genuine all around in
terest. In fact, no picture in re-
cent years has carried with it the
tremendous appeal of Boots" If
you like Miss Gish at all, Boots
will be a com plete revelation of her
many-sided and talented nature.
She is comedienne, emotional &C
tress and a bit of tragedienne all
rolled in one. In her comedy scenes
she is truly a marvellous little per-
former. She produces laughter and
tears with the accent decidedly on
the laughter.

and character portrature which has
made him famous on the screen.
THE Man Hunter" shows Mr.. Far
