He is sadly disillusioned when he discovers that the newlyweds are reallj'' happy. Glenn has an excellent supporting cast which includes Mack Swain, Jimmie Finlayson, Vivian Oakland, and Martha Sleeper. "The Rustler's Secret Universal 2 reels This Mustang western adequately fills the bill and should prove good entertainment for the action-lovers. The usual hard hitting, fast riding elements that characterize this type of two-reeler are inherent. The plot has a novel twist that .will be welcome. The hero, a supposed rustler, is chased by a posse. He eludes fhem by hiding in the wagon driven by the daughter of a ranchman. It turns out that the "rustler" is a detective, on the trail of a gang of rustlers. He finds them and the manner in which he rounds them up is a distinct novelty. Edmund Cobb is very much at home in the role of hero in this tworeel western. "The Big Hearted Fish" Pathe 1 reel Paul Terrys latest fable is way up to standard, the story in which those funny little animals figure so prominently being of a most diverting nature. Eczema Cat implants terror in the hearts of poor Jerry Squirrel and Mr. and Mrs. Blackbird, besides robbing them of their valuables. But that's not all. It behooves the villainous Eczema to separate the inseparable lovers — "Hartsooth Mouse" and "Tweedle Dee." However, with the aid of "Big Hearted Fish," who rescues Hartsooth from a watery grave, the latter frustrates the plans of the big brute Eczema, who had evil designs on I)oor little Tweedle Dee. "Modern Centaurs" Educational 1 reel A diverting single reeler, exhibiting a brand of cavalry riding that fairly elicits deep admiration and even thrills. You are treated to the spectacle of beautiful, exquisitely groomed horses doing the bidding of their masters, at the imminent peril of their bones, but no mishaps result. These intelligent, high-strung animals take five-foot hedges without so much as a hesitant tremor, they being equally adept in scaling fences, bridging wide ditches at a single leap and sliding down almost vertical precipices with perfect facility. Not the least arresting part of these manoeuvres is the calm, handsome postures of the riders, sometimes crouched low on horses' necks, who veritably characterize the title of the picture by the ease with which they effect the most hazardous riding stunts. Will probably prove an entertaining novelty an3rwhere. BIG Moments IN ANY SHOW A Red Seal Picture .v.y.c.
