 CApITOL'5 SCREEN

The story of a tiny orphan girl who brings a Bad Man from the West to his knees, is unfolded on the Capitols screen in Bad Bas- comb," new M-G-M picture, CO., starring Wallace Beery and Mar garet O'Brien.
 Teaming of the veteran Beery and the talented Miss OBrien is a maSterstrcke of casting, for the two offer a fascinating contrast in their respective roles of an amiable but hardened bandit and the little girl who proves she can hold her own with the toughest,
 It is this curious attachment of the ill-assorted pair that brings an unusual tenderness and appeal to the narrative of a bandit and his accomplice in thievery who join up with a caravan of Mormons in order to escape detection.
 The story is brought to an un- expected ending in a turbulent climax, with Bascomb proving him. self as much a hero as he ever was a dangerous berdit.
