for an outstanding characterization by
Clara Bow of the Minneapolis fapper
who married a Canadian trader and
went to live with him in the back

able players as Ernest Terrence and
Percy Marmont, Clara simply walks
away with the picture.

as Joe had begun to worry, Ralph de-
cided to go while the going was good
and he went. But 50 did Alvy. When
Joe overlook the two fugitives, he and
Ralph. manlike, started to argue. and
Alvy settled things by leaving both.
Ralph returned to New York and his

COLUMBlA-"Desert Gold"

DFStTB uOnus
Proof of the authors unfiagging
popularity was seen in the crowds
that greeted the showing of Zane
Grey's new picture, Desert Gold,
yesterday at Loew's Columbia.
The story, a succession of thrills
and hairbreadth escapes, is laid in
the great Southwest, close to the des-
ert and not far from the Mexican
border. Here in the hacienda of her
uncle lives Mercedes, betrothed to
young Cavalry officer. who, with his
company of picked men, is securing
the country in search of q band of
daring outlaws who have left death
and pillage in their wake. The lead
er, having seen the lovely senorita,
covets her and. watching his oppor-
tunity. descends on the homestead
and. after short struggle with a
feeble old uncle and his servants,
gains entrance. He does not find his
quarry. however for old Yakia. a
faithful Indian. who has watched over
the girl from babyhood, escapes with
her under cover of the shooting on
two swift horses and the bandit lead
err does not discover the trick until
they have had a good start ahead.
The story then becomes a rapid sue
cession of thrills and adventures in
which the girl is the center of des-
perate conflict, the one side to seize
her, the other to protect her Some
beautiful scenes of the wide open
spaces add to the impressiveness of
the picture and fierce sandstone,
into which the girl and her pro-
tectorS must ride to escape the
bandits. forms a thrilling and realistic
sequence. A realistic avalanche
crowns the picture with final thrill
Shirley Mason makes a charming
and convincing senorita. Neil Ham
ilton is good as the young Cavalry
officer and Robert Frazier is hand
some as the tenderfoot who finally
wins the girl. William Powell gives
an outstanding performance in the
role Of the bandit leader.
