Hoot Gibson in New Role in 1.-THE
Footlight Ranger"

Imagine a strange man wandering
backstage during the rehearsal of a
musical comedy. The grimaces of
the chorus, the hooking of the
comedian, the unaccus toned lights,
the loud voice of the stage manager
as he orders the newcomer thrown
from the theatre. These are typical
of the reception given to the leading
character in THE Footlight Ranger"
a Fox production starring Charles
Jones at the Colonial Friday and
Saturday. The cast includes FRITZ
Brunette.
The story contains a great deal of
comedy with a background of dra-
matte action and romantic adven-
ture. The thread of human interest
was carefully preserved.-Adv.

crammed full Of unexpected twists

and cold chills.

ever was suggested by the thrillers
in which he formerly has been seen,

and Hallam Cooley, all are equally
well cast.
The story is an original from the
pen of that versatile writer, Larry
Evans. Its unusual success lies in
the fact that everybody from Di-
rector Forman down to the Iowliest
extra, seems to have absorbed the
spirit Of the unusual story and aided
in telling it on the serena feat
that has been accomplished with the
aid of series of truly remarkable
Photographic effects.
The Harold Lloyd comedy Il Do"
is riot of fun which keeps the audi
ence in commissions throughout the
three reels. Aesops film fables, and
screen snapshots are the other pict-
ures on the program, which is cued

''Spring work is decidedly back
