The plot unfolds without long lapses of time. the entire action taking place from one sunrise to the next. Most of the real dra- matic events take place during the hours of night.
 The number of figures appearing in the story likewise is limited, following up theory of the author that the dramatic kernel of any story involves but little time and few characters. In No Mans Law" there are four people-a girl, her foster father and two bad men of the desert. Rex, his mate, Lady, and two comic burros complete the entire cast. The excellence of the acting of Barbara Kent, James Finlayson, Theodore Von Eltz and Oliver Hardy adds to the tensity of the story. This feature is on again for two shows tonight.
