Mikt Coatigan, Bull Stanley and Spade Allen might really have been wanted by tny number of sheriffs all through the West and Mexico, but the only indication they give of lawlessness i a aingle attempt at horse thieving (even that frui-trated, by the way), and after that it was too late, for they had acquirer!

There sre I prairie schooners, thrilling riding and I the well-known human and heart in- terests.

I The story is laid In th West of 1877, in the Black Hills of the Dakota! when this land was taken from the Sioux Indians and bords of gold-seekers were turned loose to quarrel and die and make trouble generally upon snd about it. Olive Borden is attractive, certainly, as the orphaned, but not, altogether helpless daughter of a Virginian, but ahe wears riding breechei that it is almost certain no 1876 flapper ever dreamed of, let alone would dare to wear. Tom Santschi J. Far-rell McDonald and Frank Campeau do really splendid work as the three bnd men. They bring to these parts humor and a certain pathos and wistful-ness.

That this sort of thing has been done from the time of the Three Musketeers down to the three in the "Big Parade" can not be held against Lou Tellegen plays the villainous Layn( Hunter, renegade sheriff in his own, Tellegen fashion, making him dress as a veritable dude-rancher with extreme-' ly "arty" hair and most glorious Stetson sombrero. George O'Brien ia sometimes amusing as Dan O'Malley, while Phyllis Haver is charming is the rather up to date Prairie Beauty. Priscilla Bonner has a few moments of decidedly good work as the betrayed Millie. Alec Francis has a small pari, as also have George Harris nd Otia Harlan. (The outstanding feature of the eur-rounding bill is the unusual and difficult dancing doue by Burnoff and formerly with Chsrles Dillingham's "The City Chap."

tt Diiu r.un SHOWN AT THE FOX PmSTO ST, Douglas Fairbanks' Latest Picture Is Full of Heroism and Thrilling Scenes Done In Color It Is Magnificent In Its Romantic Progression Douglas Fairbanks' acting, his anility, and his ability to Inject beauty and the aroma of romance into a picture which would otherwise be either a first-rate aVrobatic act, a milk-and-water edition of "The Three Musketeers" or a slightly shaded edition of any one of a number of his previous playa, are reflected in his latest picture at the Stanton. 'The Black Pirate" is done entirely In color, snd it ia done magnificently. There is none of the eye-strain coming from brilliant splurges of red, green, violet and blue which playgoers have found in earlier attempts at color photography. The only eye-strain is in trying to follow religiously Doug's swift flight about the spars and rigging of bis pirate ship. Doug, as a Duke of Spain, happens to be on a ship which is sacked hy the pirates.

His father is killed, but the son, fortunately, lands on a desert, island, where he first surveys his fute snd then swears eternal vengeance upon his father's murderers. The opportunity presents itself early. He is enabled to join the pirate crew, and leads them in very hazardous stunts so credibly that be becomes the recognized leader of the band. More than that, thrnnirh his cleverness he prevents loss of life among the passengers and crew of the first galleon whieft is tasen into camp, and, instead of blowing up the ship, proposes that It be ransomed, a fair Snanish princess, played by Billie Dove, being held as hostage. The mere thongnt ot ntty tnonsann piecesMii-eigni: ransom sets has crew cheering, and Doug is almost, triumphant.

However, the former captain of the crew, a low browed villain with a bandana tied about his oily locks, manages to have the ransom ship blown up and then prepares to rid the world of Doug and flee that pestilential part of the sea with the princess, lioug warns tne pianu our here, that is letting you in on too much of what is the real life of the picture. The nlot is nothing. Rut the photog raphy is excellent, and Fairbanks, prince of all acrobatic acreen pertormers, is every bit as agile, as charming, as smilingly devilish as he ever was and the romance of the picture is not at all badly conceived. Less than "The Thief of Bagdad," certainly, perhaps even less in the dramatic scale than "Robin Hood." 'The Three Musketeers" and even "Don but great none the less because Dong has made it.

For this well named offering is not only an elaborate revue of more than tabloid slr.e, but combines circus and inuslinl elements which are so well blended and bnlrLnced that they fit harmoniously in with the general scheme of the offering. Prominent in the performance are the hour Ortons, roley and I.alure, irgmia Bacon, Shirley Richards and Helen Shapiro.

While the show in its entirety is termed "The Variety Show." the special feature Is the "Cameo lievue," which is as deft snd dainty an offering as one would wish. All of the princi pals have been provided with material which serves to display their talents to the utmost advantage, whether it be dancing, vocal or as mirth makers, thus slso affording plenty of contrast and balance to the proceedings. Seldom, indeed, do chorus girls dis play the ability and the versatility nhich won unstinted enthusiasm for the sixteen good-looking and lively girls engaged in this offering. Each of these girls has marked skill as a solo dancer, and they work together with the utmost precision and verve. Knlnh Grepnleaf and company have an amusing sketch well presented.

The "Shuffle Along Four" comprises a sing ing quartette of vocal vitality. "Pals First," with Lloyd Hughes and Dolores Del Itio, la a photoplay feature of uncommon interest.

EL Has His Own Troubles In "An Amateur Gentleman" Now on View Other Features of the Programme Grouped In a Sparkling Revue The business of being an "Amateur Gentleman" in the film which is the feature at the Stanley this week, seem to be extremely hard and serious work for Richard Barthelmess.

He has, after all, some cause for this seriousness, for he has much to contend with in point of plot and members of his supporting enst. Barnabas Iiarty, son of a former ring champion of England, aspires to the estate of a gentleman for no apparent reason save, perhaps, for a shadowy mother who evidentnlly married beneath her station in life. Having been left a fortune by another obliging and phantom-like relative. Barnabas shakes the dust of his father's inn from hia feet after first knocking this ex-champion down to prove that there is much of the determination of a quite plebian person even in an emhryo gentleman, and be-tnkes himself to London. Adventure stalks out to meet him at the crossroads before he ever gels to the city and lie becomes embroiled in a quarrel falls in lore, makes an enemy and acquires a right-hand-man in the form of a down-at-the-heels valet all in the space of an hour or two.

All this might have had a tang had the plot not been handled quite so heavily, and had the formula not called for a combination of Bean Brummel, jockey and a rather Hnmlet-like scene in which dead snd dying clutter up the plsce. Richard Barthelmess with an increase in weight has lost some of the sensitive boyishness which goes in a great men-tire to build up hia charm. Dorothy Dunbar as Lady Clcone Is atartlingly like Alice Terry, unfortunately her acting ability is less than Miss Terry's. The best point in the picture ia the photography which is quite lovely in the exteriors of the London of 1818. Others in the cast are Gardner James, Nigel Barrie, Edwards Davis and Gino Corrado.

The Stanley lias grouped Its other features in one number which is in the nature of a miniature revue. There are three division composing It, the "Telephone Doll" gives a vocal and terpischorian interpretation of "Ting-a-ling" by Estelle Carey and Betsey Rose; there is a colorful setting of the Herbert "Italian Street Song." while "The Arbor of Love" is a combination of singing and four national dunces including the minuet, the Russian trepak and amusing Chinese ballet and. of course, a jazz number. The Stanley Orchestra, with Graham Harris conducting, plays an arrangement of the Pagliacci rauaic which in cludes most of the opera. "Th Lov Toy" it PiIim A bnrleeque of th mythical kingdom revolutionary formula, wa th fatnr at the Palace yesterday.

It wa called "The Love Toy." There were some Im mensely funny sub-tftlei which lent a novelty to an otherwise familiar story, in which Lowell Sherman plays the part of a Yankee who forgets an unfortunate love alrajr by getting mixed up in the revolutionary business in Belgradia. There is a somewhat novel twist to the picture, inasmuch as it starts out to be it straight romance in which Sherman seems all set to marry the girl of his dreams. He arrives early and finds her in the arms of another. So he hies himself to a mythical kingdom when things happen. Ethel Grey Terry, Helene Cos-tello, Maude George and Willard Louis are among those in the cast "So Thl I Pari" it Victoria The Ernest Lubitsch production, "So This Is Paris," which was shown aome weeks ago at the Karlton.

was the principal attraction last night at th Victoria. There Is plenty of atmospheric action in the progression of the story of the various phases of life in the gny French city, including a cabaret scene of quite bazarre conception in which the Charleston was executed by a group of stage beauties. The cast included Lllyan Tashman and Andre Meranger among other, with Monte Blue and Patsy Ruth Miller in the principal roles. "The Great Deception" it Capitol What might be termed a romantic war tory, "The Great Deception" was the feature at the Capitol last night, for It projects two classifications of loyalty one the loyalty of young patriot for his country In tie face of sneers from his associates, and the loyalty of a young girl for the man she loves. It Is filled with romance and sentiment and Ben Lyon and Aileen Priugle enact the central characters most effectively.

"Road to Mandalay" it Loouit Lon Chaney In another of his remarkable characterizations is the star of "The Road to Mandalay," story with the atmosphere of the Orient, which was shown at th Locust last night.

Miss Blythe sings well snd does a number of impersonations in a way that shows her Histrionic anility on the speaking stage ia equal to her work In th silent drnma. She proved entertaining in her own right, snd in addition wore a number of costumes that must have been the envy of every woman in the house.

The bill throughout Is one of those happy combinations of variety that make! for a couple of pleasant hours in vaudeville.

In his final number the man apparently drew inniimersble lighted cigarettes from nowhere, smoking a few puffs of each one and throwing it aside. The introductory act of Larimer and Hudson, a bicycle team, was an exceptionally skillful bit of work, and the sketch pro- video, ny rinrry noimnn wun impio Mnnsnn contained a lot of good fun and some excellent, singing hy the latter. Mae Daly and Lonnie Mace, "two girla trying to get along," bave an act that, drawa a 'ot of laughs, but some portions of whi'h are scarcely appropriate for a Keith stage.

Adler Weil snd Herman have a singing number that csnght, tb fancy of the andience, and Dave Winnie and Evelyn Dolly provided a number of thrills In their aerial act.
