was shown at Loew's Palace yester-
day afternoon. For those who like
a good western" without being sub
jected to Bill Hart served with it
here it is
The story revlves around a wealthy
young clubman whose self-respect
has been undermined by a life of
ease, and is told by the only girl that
she cannot marry him unless he
proves himself a real man. Shocke ed
into self analysis, he leaves his old
haunts and goes west, where, under
the non de plume of Patches" he
makes good as a cowboy and thereby
wins his fight.
The title role might paply to any
number of western gentlemen in
cowboy garb who ride wild horses,
throw lassos and "shoot from the
hip" with equal skill. John Bowers,
as Patches" is human AMI likable,
and Robert Frazier, as foreman of
the ranch. gives excellent eNhibi
tions OF trick riding" Marguerite
de la Motto is a sympathetic heroine
lowe gives a good portrayal of the
ranch girl in love with the foreman.
The picture is well directed by
Edward Cline. There are plenty of
action and very real thrills, including
rodeo scenes, cattle punching and
branding and near-hanginS with
an eleventh-hour reprieve.
A short comedy, Pathe News and
excerpts from the Literary Digest
and orchestral music complete an
entertaining program.
