"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
·bron menacing the town for over a month. 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. The next day Tim! discovers two horse thieves trying to work a Rafter-O brand into a Box- brand, that of Walt Corson, a neigh- hour. Further investigation reveals that Corson's horses had been stolen too; the guilty party was trying to throw suspicion on innocent people, How Tins rounds up the horse thieves And rescuer Patsy from the rustiers, who turned kidnappers, supplies action of the high speed," punch-packed variety.

The romantic interest is supplied by the appealing Shirley Grey. Wallace MacDonald, Russell Simpson, Montagu Love and Wheeler Oakman are others prominently fea- tured. D. Ross Lederniah has given the story by William Colt MacDonald ekilful direction.

Thu production is basc upon the thrilling Apy tory "Operntor 13" the last bent soiler novel written by the master story-teller, Robert W. Chambers. before his death last year. It centres around the earlier years of the Civil War when the South seemed cortain of winning the conflict and at a time with the Confederate forces danger- ously threatening Washington, D. G. when the_labour of spies, both Union and Confederate, provided many of the dramatic incidents of all military history.
