Ho was recently sent to Tucson, Ariz., a branch of tho Eclair Film Company, which Is at present turning out somo remarkable and unusual Western stuff, and Johnston, ' who 1h a daring rider and can bandle fire- arms, wilt play the lead In all of these pic- tures.

Luis and Dellrio, known in private life as Senor and fira, Luis Sunt., are the dancers who created such a tremendous furore In Paris last season. They have duplicated this success at the Folles Marlgny, In New York, where tbey are the headllners, and. without any preliminary boosting, made good on their merits, Among tbe prominent families In New York whom tbey tcaob are: Stephen F.iklns* family, Vandcrbllt families, Gould, Mill*.
