request that he would meet him at j
that hour. "Say a quarter before j

..Trigger Action and startling surprises feature this great Fairbanks' picture.
The finest adventure tale ever screened. The dashing, during, Don Qears
all worry arid you live in laugh and thrills. A Lightning Streak is no faster
than the movement in this greatest of all Fairbanks pictures that marks his
return to a super-melodramatic role. High Speed Adventure cuts through
plot, counterplot, mystery and intrigue, as the lash of Don Q's vrhip cuts his
enemies down and saves his followers. Romance and Comedy a tender and
sweetly romantic story flows swiftly and surely but is coupled with humor
that neither youth nor age can resist.
