Plays War Veteran

"Headin' West" the Universal Spe-
CT Attraction at the Colonial thea
ter for today is the story of a man
who came home from the war and
found that not all was glory in the
returning. Hoot Gibson, champion
rider and cowpuncher of the world as
we'll as the star of many enjoyable
pictures, has the stellar role.
He enters the tale via parachute,
dropping off at familiar spot the
scenery from an airplane in which he
has bummed his way across the con-
tinent. Going to the fol eman of his
own ranch, he asks for a job as a
cowpuncher. Getting the laugh when
he fails to ride broncho that some
one had fixed" with a thorn under
the saddle, he is appointed first as
sistant to the cook. His chief occu-
patton from then on is peeling pota-
toes. The story has its measure of
thrills as well as humorous situa-
tons.
