RAINBOW TRAIL" At NELSON.
William Farnum, celebrated
actor and Fox star, is with US
again-and in one of the greatest
plays that he ever graced in his
notable career. He opened ycster.
day at the Nelson Theatre in Tho
Rainbow Trail, that haunting story
by Zane Grey which, read by mil.
lions as a novel. is splendidly pro-.
duced by William Fox as O photo
play. In it Farnum has dual role.
1.-THE Rainbow Trail" it will be
recalled is a sequel to that equally
famous story, Riders OF the Purple
Sage"-in which Farnum also scor-
ed a triumph. 1t Is typical Far
mum production with all the thrills
and punch that this sterling master
Of screencraft can inspect into It.
The fast riding particularly stands
out and Mr.. Farnum Is seen enact
ing daredevil stunts on the back OF
some of the Vests fastest mounts.
The scenes in the Grand Canyon
OF Arizona are Of extraordinary
beauty and impressiveness and the
love romance is of surprising deli
cacy in construction.
