CATTLE THIEF
Stealing a man's horse was a greater crime than killing the man himself in the old days of the west. according to Ken Maynard, hero of a hundred western dramas. and one of the outstanding au- thorities on the West. His latest Columbia screen play is "The Cattle Thief" showing at the Alhambra Theatre to-day.
"The penal code in the old days of the west always meted out death to a horse-stealer because stealing a man's transportation in a region where a horse meant the differ- ence between life and death was a deliberate act,55 Maynard said.
"However, kllling a man was an- other matter. Since all men car- rled guns, shootings were common. and the courts' were always ready to believe that extenuating cir- cumstances existed when a man
was killed in a shooting melee." the Columbia star explained.
In "The Cattle Thief" Maynard meets trickery with treachery and matches bullets with brains as he wages an undercover war against the prairie plunderers. Appearing with him is Geneva Mitchell, Ward Bond, Sheldon Lewis and Roger Williams.

late George V. Edward VII and George VI, during their respective reigns, have honoured this Ameri- can thrush of opera, concert, radio and screen.
"One Night of Love" was the favorite motion picture of George V. The Queen Mother Mary, the mother of the present. monarch of Great Britain, saw this picture four times. Miss Moore was pre- sented to them formally when she sang "Manon" at Convent Gardens and appeared later at a Command, performance.
King Edward VIII, received and entertained her during his brief reign and she was presented later to George VI and his Queen. To make it virtually a "clean sweep" of the English royal family, Miss Moore was the guest of honor at a private dinner given by the Duke and Duchess of Kent.
King Gustar of Sweden presented her with the King's, or Court, medal after her appearance in Stock- holm, and a subsequent command performance. The King's medal, by law. is "assigned to attendance upon the court" and is the highest personal distinction in the power of the Swedish monarch to bestow. Only one other singer in the world has ever received this honor,, she is Christina Neilson, the Swedish star.
