Tom Mix Gives His Fans Stunt Treat

Eyes of the Forest" with Tom
Mix, opened at the Colonial Theatre
yesterday and the intrepid athletic
Fox star gives his fans something to
talk about. Tom kept his audience
almost breathless in a series of thrill
ing episodes that, while they savored
OF the flavor of Mixian entertainment
dishes, yet were unlike anything he
has attempted.
The story of eyes of the Forest"
written by Shannan Fife, is vivid
one, dealing with the Forest Air
Rangers of California. Pauline Starks
plays the girl in the case and does
an A-No 1 job of it. She will be re-
nembered for her work in "a Con-
necticut Yankee at King Arthur's
Court"
Others in the cast are Sid Jordan,
the redoubtable william, who gives Mix
the battle Of his life: Ed Wallock.
Tom, Lingham, J. P. Lockney and
Buster Gardner. Lambert Hillyer d.
rected the picture and did a good job
Of 1t. Eyes of the Forest" will be re-
peated again today for the last time
at Ais and S.-Adv.

 Not quite, worse luck" he re- turned. His head was too thick But that's neither here nor there. The first thing is to get you on your way to where you're going.

 There was but one thing else 10 do to tell him. Harry Underwood, the exact truth and trust to the exaggnr- ated, famboyant chlralry which al- ways has been one of his strongest characteristics.
