Bands of wild horses having once, in great numbers, roamed the southwestern plains, Hal Roach sent his chief horse trainer, "Chick” Morrison, In search of a horse for the story he had written of a man hating, wild stallion that becomes the loyal friend of a man who saves ..... wandering through several states, Morrison found Rex In the State Reformatory of Colorado, a captive beast, shackled and untam ed. His owners were not purposely cruel, but th* horse had killed sev eral, malned others and was an In corrigible outlaw. His incarcera tion was a matter of public safety. His wild, free life when he had roamed the wild country of Colo rado with a band of horses, had made him unmanageable. A fan weeks of patience and kind ness and Morrison had Rex suf ficiently manageable so that Fred Jackman could direct “The King of Wild Horses.” which makes the claim of being the most sensational drama.

"Plastigrams” the ncreens great est novelty Is thrilling audiences at every performance. CLEVER PATTER "FOUND IN VAUDEVILLE NUMBER There Is plenty of clever patter in the act of Dale and Reed, two yo-ing men who are with the vaude ville program at the Columbia thea ter these days. One of the men has the role of a rub© and gets by with It in fine shape. A highly amusing part of the act is the introduction of a couple of cornets, neither of which Is ever sounded. Miss Winnie Masterman. "wood land songstress.” has a personality that obtain* the goodwill of the audience nt once. She can whistle any song and can Imitate various birds with real effect.

Adapted from an immortal poem by the same name the photoplay has been given high quality also, the result of the inclusion of stars such as Lew Cody, Percy Mannont, Barbara I-a Marr, Mae Busch and George Slegmann. Robert W. Service's story of the Yukon has ben brought to the screen with life-like vividness by Winifred Dunn, who wrote the film version, and Director Clarence Badger, who has to his credit such productions as "Quincy .Adains Sawyer" and "Potash and Perl mutter." Not only has the splendid climax been faithfully reproduced, but the events leading up to it have been worked out In full. Service wrote his poem from an actual incident of the gold rush in the Yukon, and the Metro plcturlzatlon has gone a step further and told the whole story of this tragic encounter be tween two men. STONE MOIOEIT BOLE IN FILM ‘SMMMOUCBE’ Lewis Stone who plays the part of the Marquis de Tours In “Scara mouche” at th© Wyoming theater has without a doubt his best role. The powdered wig and snuff box have made an aristocrat of the old school out of this accomplished actor. Always dignified in his mod ern productions except when ho Is falling In love with some silly school girl, Stone In "Scaramouche” in dignified regardless until he falls exhausted at the feet of a wife he has deserted. Even afterwards he is raised In the mind of the audience when he goes forth to face the in furiated mob with hie death as the oply possible result. The Marquis de Tour is cruel, un scrupulous, but can scarcely be called cowardly. “FOOLS OF FORTUNE” CHARACTERS OF LIFE In "Fools of Fortune.” which will be shown at the Iris theater today and Thursday, the charactera are not figments of the author's Imagi nation but are people from real life. This is a departure from the usual method of creating a story, but there Is nn excellent reason for It In this instance. W. C. Tuttle, who wrote the magazine story from which Uic photoplay Is taken, lived among the Westerners he bripgs to the screen and declares that but for changing their names they are precisely the same men on the screen as they are tn real Ute.
