Five hundred dollars is what the, Liano Kid was worth to the people of Texas back in 1885, dead or alive. ile's alive at the Central Theatre and hu's worth a whole lot more than that in entertainment. There are moro thrils with Gury Cooper, as the Llano Kid, in "The Texan," than there were even in the great Western outdoor

Copper brings to life the spirit of the plainsmen pioneers, this time in a tremendous action 'drama which takes hiry from the rolling plains of Texas to the Impressive pampas of South America.

Emma Dunn, as the wealthy senora, gives a moving performanes in a really creat role. O, Henry wrote the original story which Paramount has made into a truly worthwhile moving pleturg, and the turns of comedy, druna, humour, pathos and romance make up a really varied entertainment with a trangely moving plot.
