It tells of a mysterious charac ter who appears to spend bis tims in replacing stolen property in the Arranway's mansion-of DBD- parently flirtatious wife and of a blackmailer, who, if he does not meet the end he deserves, is at least satisfactorily disposed of be- fore the conclusion.

Almost every youngster eravga at some time in his career to be a bold, bad bandit- terror of the plains, riding hither and yon Beross the desert, abducting beau- tiful ladies and nonchalantly shoot- ing his way through battalions of enemies. .

"Perhaps this is due to the pleaure of wearing and using--s shiny pearlhandled 45 and the thrill of being pursued by a posse, and similar juvenile yearnings literally come to life, or it may be just the romantic glamour that

In his latest Fox vehicle, The Cisco Kid," Baxter once more gives a bandit portrayal, that of O. Henry'a rolkless but plusive Cisco Kid, whose pursuit by Ser geant Mickey Dunn formed the theme of the memorable "In Old Arizona." In this new offering now showing at the King's Theatre, the pursuit takes, a very different turn, and with the allur- ing Conchita. Montenegro as the Mexican luncer-heroine and Nora Lane as a pioneer widow, the story affords plenty of unexpected hap- penings and an unusual romance.
