"The Riding Tornado," the now Tim McCoy western for Columbia, which will be shown at the Alhambra to- morrow, resembles a tornado in every respect so far as whirlwind · excite- ment is concerned. Tim McCoy, as Tim Torrant, the bronco bustin' chạmp, blows into town and leaves a troll of thrills' in his path. What excitement as ho "breaks" a horse that had killed three mon who had; attempted to, ride him! What dare- deviley as he rounda up a dangerous band of horse thievesi" What romance as he wins the beautiful Patsy Olcott! Tim McCoy rides you heading into thrills at a pace that will make you gasp. When Tim Torrant, the brone bustin' champ, "breaks", Killer, the wild horse, he wins the. admiration of the town, and a Job with the Itafter-O outfit, riding the range trying to track down horse thieves who have

The ranch foreman, Dick, Stark, who considers himself engaged to Patsy Olepit; the daughter of the owner of the ranch, becomes jealous of Tim, and after getting the worst of a fat arid gun battle with him, quits his job.
