Oregon Theater
When Tom Mix and his wonder
horse Tony are scheduled for a
showing at any theater, that thea
ter is sure to be packed. "Out
laws of Red River," shows at the
Oregon today, May 21.
A bare outline can hardly do
justice to the enthralling tale of
the "Outlaws of Red River" which
pictures the search of the Falcon,
the most daring of the Texts Ran
gers for his foster-Bister who was
abducted by bandits when both
were children. This thrilling epi
sode and the raid on the emigrant
train when it took place, are
shown in the prologue. Inciden
tally the part of Tom, then a lad
of ten or twelve is played by Jim
my Downs-, who gives a splendid
characterization of the western
star as a boy.
Tom's search for his childhood
playmate reaches a climax when
he discovers a beautifll young girl
acting as a spy for the outlaws of
Red River, who signals the gang
every time the stage coach bears
treasure.
From' here on the tempo of the
story mores with an ever acceler
ated pace until it reaches a climax
with the storming of the outlaws'
stronghold by Tom and his ran
gers with an armored coach and
the rescue of the ghrL -
Marjorie Daw has the lead
ing feminine role with a cast of
screen favorites in other roles of
importance. An outstanding fea
ture of this production are the
many beautiful scenes showing
the California mountains and Ca
thedral Canyon.
"Outlaws of Red River' is a
sp'endid entertainment which held
every moment of the audience's
attention who witnessed the first
showing yesterday.

most popular stage spectacle ever

twelve teams start abreast in
thejr mad dash over the seven
laps of the Antloch race-course,
and you cannot forbear a cheer
as Ben-Bur wrecks Messala and

Pirate navies contend in realistic
death-grapples on the Mediter

of Zion rise anew. From the ex

the masterpieces of -Art are re-enacted,-often
