"Feet of Claris Coming to Rex ; Theatre lor Four Days Playing Man From Wyoming Showing at Castle A bitter hatred that extends hack through the years of the settling of the West from the first moment that large bands of sheep 'began straying across the range previously known only to buffalo and cattle, is woven into the picture starring Jack Hoxie, which is playing tonight at tho Castle theatre, titled ''The Man from. Wyo ming.". ' Hoxie portrays the role of a cow boy wrongfully sent to prison, who, escaping, is protected by a ruthless land crook who is running a big head r of sheep upon government rsnge which has long been the grazing ground for a big cattle outfit. The ex-cowboy is forced to become a sheep herder and gets into trouble immediately when the cowboys try to drive him ore the range. Lillian Itich is pretty and capable as the little owner of the big cattle ranch nnd Claude Payton makes one hate him as the owner of the Bheep which Hoxie herds. As a land shark, he tries every means of winning the girl and acquiring her ranch. The rest of the cast is entirely adequate. Photographically the picture is beau tiful. .
