M ' E 16 OUTAT HOLLYWOOD It badly seems possible that anyone, let alone a nine year old . girl, could approach George O'Brien as a daring rider; yet the noted western star meets with tiff equestrian' competition in rSmoke Lightning," his new Fox vehicle, an exceptionally dramatic and scenleaHy beautiful picture by the way which, opens today at the Hollywood theatre. Little Betsy King Roas, who weighs about G pounds and re sembles ; a slender boy in her Dutch bob, prores a real surprise to screen fans in her film debut as. O'Brien's ward. Her exhibitions ef horsemanship are little short of startling and her acting ability is of a fine order. Her efforts appear to have put the Btar on his mettle and the result is a picture tbat contains some of the most exciting riding and; action in recent months. The story, taken from Zane Grey's "Canyon Walls, revolves about the adventurer O'Brien meets with when he appoints himself the unofficial guardian of a wealthy little orphan girl and sets about defending her and her . ranch from the maneuvers of a gang of crooks. Nell O'Day as the shool teacher,- heroine and Frank Atkinson as O'Brien's companion both do - excellently: in their roles. The former is a lovely blonde and the latter is a fine comic. 1 Vj V , w ji. . ... ---. X 4 i Spencer Tracy and Colleen Moore in "The Power and the Glory." at the Grand.
