BREED THEATRE,

The cast of Dorothy Dalton's latest Paramount picture. The Crimson Chal- lenge, which is to be seen at the Breed theatre today and Tuesday. reads like blue book. of screen villains. There are several bad men in the picture, but three of them are noted for their ruffianly rec ords in the annals of the screen. Thess are Frank Champeau, Clarence Burton and George Field.
 Frank Champeau plays the part of Buck Courtrey in the picture-a regulsJ Trampas part, and the kind that broughi Campeau fame when he toured with Int Virginian.
 Clarence Burton not long ago finished the role of a bad Mexican in Cecil B. DeMille's production, Fools Paradise and another similar Mexican character in Gloria .Swanson's Paramount picture. Her Husbands Trademark. In this new picture he will be seen as Black Bart. said to be one of the most despicabls characters ever put on the screen. George Field, who plays Wylsckie. 2 | high caste Mexican villain, appeared az Pedro in Fools Paradise.
 These three bad men are guarantee enough that there will be more shivers | per inch of film in The Crimson Chai- | lenge than any picture which has been produced recently. It is quite unusual to | see more than one or two heavy charac- | ters in a picture. especially hesvies of such reputation and screen magnitude as these three players. Amen them they have doubtless committed every con- ceivable kind Of misdeei under i1e sun that is. in the realms ui shadUw'and Outside of their mskeupz however. they are three of the mildest hammered g. n- | tlemen in the world.
