Press stories to be sent oot a week ahead, and during the showing of ‘‘WOLVES OF THE RAIL.” The story of ''Wolves of the Rail,” an Artcraft picture starring William S. Hart, the Thos. H. Ince star, which will be the attraction at the theatre next , has the broad western country for its setting. . Hart is first seen as "Buck" Andrade, a daring highwayman, whose gang is feared and dreaded by the officials of a western railroad. "Buck's" conversion is effected at the bedside of his dying mother, and he gives to his task of reformation all the energy, vitality and thoroughness that characterize his career as a hold-up and all-around bad man. "Buck" becomes a staunch championof law and order, a loyal protector of the railroad company's property, and a safe guardian of government money, though he has to fight his former gang to do so. Of course there's a girl in the case Faith Lawson, the operator in the railroad tower at Smoky Gap, and the awakening of Andrade's new charabter and his steadfastness of purpose are partly the result of his love for her. There is no let-up in the interest and action of "Wolves of the Rail," and the millions of admirers of "Big Bill" Hart will find much in this new offering to enthuse over. First of all there's the new character, in which Hart takes the side of law and order, and his strenuous but none the less effective methods for ridding the Box Canyon country of the dangerous gang of outlaws formerly commanded by himself. During the course of the five reels "Big Bill" performs enough deeds of daring to please the most exacting. Most of the scenes in "Wolves of the Rail" were photographed in the mountains of California, where a complete railroad station, switch tower and division superintendent's office were erected. Hart is given his usual excellent support, and Thomas H. Ince has brought his finest craftsmanship to the fore in making this new picture a standard for future Hart productions. n
