Again, rbanks, actor-producer, his world audience a screen nar- pative destined to rank with the eples of all time. The star has the role of a ban- @it chief, the leader of a horde of Gaucho riders, who cross the 'mountains and occupy a stately shrine city whose wealth is the prey of the cruel usurper of the country, A madeap mountain lass (Lupe Velez), thrilled by the no- toriety of the Gaucho cnief, joins en route, News of the out- w's presence reaches the usurp- or (Gustav von Seyffertitz), who puts a price upon his head, A beautiful girl of the shrine, (Eve Southern), whose healing us # child brought fame to the Place, stirs strange emotions in the outlaw, The jealous mountain betrays him to the command- ante (Michael Vavitch), who has ag his garrison in the city by usurper's orders, A treacher- ous Gaucho lieutenant (Charlie tevens), dismisses the band on a alse message, and the outlaw 1s esptured, Witnessing his cure at the shrine from the touch of a e-stricken beggar (Al Mae- arrie), the mountain girl under- $tands the 'girl of the miracle" brings ! airbanks as The Gaucho" at The Regent Theatre Mondav Adventure on South American Pampas! -~ for the first time, and too late tries to prevent the arrest. She rides off to bring the Gaucho band to the rescue. From his cell the 'Gaucho chief sees the shrine girl and her pro- tector, the good padre (Nigel de Brulier) under arrest, He digs his way out and joins his oncom- ing riders, Outnumbered by the dictator's troops, the Gaucho stam- pedes a vast herd of steers and gains the city as the soldiers are routed. The shrine girl and priest are released from the scaf- fold, The dictator and comman- dante are taken by the Gauchos, and the outlaw rides away with the girl of his choice, No b#lef resume of the play can do justice to the skilfully con- structed action. Enourh to say that the ima~ination is captured at the beginning of the prologue and held to the elose of 'the story, The whimsical humor of Fairbanks and his newly intriguing stunts are a seasoning for the vital move- ment of the play, whese flavor combines that of same rare old Spanish lerend and the romantie moods of the borderland. Doug's adventures are of the sort thet delight young and old, His rid- ing, leaning and remarkable dex- terity with the boles serve to en- nhasize rather than detract from his scenes of superb acting, In Sherwood Forest or in the shadow of the Andes, he remains the gal- lant adventurer, ever with a sur- prise for his audience. The photography by Tony 0. Gaudio is admirable, and the scenes designed by Carl Oscar Borg, Fairbanks' art director, con- stitute a backsround of unusual "A Super ~ Spectacle HE Lure of Gold--beau- tiful eyes -- enemies in power --captives --escapes -- sacrifice--hundreds of horse- men--and daring : AGLORIOUSTALE OF ADVENTUROUS LOVE ON THE WIDE OPEN PAMPAS DOWN BELOW THE EQUATOR charm, TF. Richard Jones direct- ed this remarkable production, At the Regent "Black Pirate" Now Dashing Gaucho of Wild Pampas With something of the same pioneer spirit that has marked his influence in the film industry, Douglas Fairbanks strikes out for fresh soil and romance of uncom- mon flavor in his new photoplay, "The Gaucho," the mammoth at- traction eoming to the Regent the first three days of next week. Having su fully pr t heroes of a familiar type, such as Robig Hood and D'Artagnan, on this occasion Doug produces a rarety --a ch racter little known to his audfences: the hybrid horse- man of the pampas, the now als most extinet Gaucho, who is pass- ing before the march of civiliza- tion along 'with the rest of the world's famous riders, the cowboy and the Cossack have been immors talized in fiction, perhaps the pie- turesque @ducho will thus be lift. ed into the Olympus of piloncer history. Douglas Falrbanks as The Gaucho concerns the attempt of a bandit chief, impersonated by Fairbanks, to capture a beautiful city grown up about a shrine of healing, The bandit falls under the spell of a wild girl of a village, but is influenced by a spiritual girl of the shrine. Betrayed by his lieutenant, he is imnrisoned, but escapes to join his band already coming to rescue him, led by the wild girl. Battle seenes hetween the gauchos and the soldiers col- orful episodes of the horder and the adventures of the outlaw him- self are combined into a romance that well may intensify the vozue of Spanish and South America plays, New photograpic devices oceur a * THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JANUAR Richard Jones, and in the cast appear Lupe Velez, Eve Southern, Gustav von Seyfferitz Nigel de Brulier, Michael Vaviteh, Charlie Stevens, Al MacQuarrie, Carlotta Monti and Fred de Silva. Under the instruction of an Argentine Gaucho, Fairbanks has developed skill in throwing the bolas. Feats of horsemanship and agility enhance his role, especially for the star's legions of youthful admirers. His reappearance in a robber characterization is not so much due to the success of such previous plays as "Robin Hood," "The Thief of Bagdad" and "The Black Pirate" as to the chance in- spiration of the theme itself, After he and Mary visited the shrine of Our Lady of Lourdes in France, while abroad two years ago, the possibilities of his Gaucho for dra- matic conflict were realized. Avar- ice versus faith afforded tempt- ing opportunities for the develop- ment of a new theme. So once again Doug has donned the make- up of the rover whose villainy is softened by gallantry and whose greed 1s forgotten in galety. "The Gaucho" has packed the Liberty theatre, New York, at $2.20 top, and has just comnleted a most successful two week en- gagement at the Regent, Toronto, at prices ranging as high as $1.60 a seat, Although Manager Osler has gone to considerable expense in bringing the big production to Oshawa, the theatre-going public of this city will be glad to know that Mr, Osler, through a special arrangement with the United Art- ists Film Company who |'con- trols the picture, announces (hat no advance over regular Regent prices will be asked during the limited three day engagement here.

These scenes provide for a hoat being rowed by Rocemary Theby as "Mrs, Drian Kent," to pe rawn down a treacherous river by the strong current, taking it eventually into the rapids and over the fall's, To get to the pro- per side of the river for the ghoot- ing of the ranids, it was neces- sary for the gtars, crew and e-m- era eouipment to be taken across the river. How to master the treacherous flow of the river was the problem confrontinz John J-s- ver, who, as generrl mana-~er of the produeirg company, was in charge of the unit, Fortunately, the site was only a few miles from the construction cmp of the Pacific Cas and Fle~-. tnic Company, who are en-g~ed in a gigantie bu'lding probiem which inc'udes a dam, the build- ing of a lake 2nd another link in their chain of hydro electric plors. With the co-operation of their en- gineers, a cable was thrown across 160 feet, and to this was anchor- ed a raft. By pulleys fastened to the ends of ropes and thence to the raft, a means of locomotion was provided and the entire com- pany was transported to the oppo- site bank, Because of the treacherous cur- rent, only five people were per- mitted on the raft on 'each trip wh'le the others waited and wateched each journey breathless- ly as the river tossed the fragile craft about. Fortunately, It stood the trips well, and the thrilling scenes photographed from above the rapids are among the outstand- ing sensations in the = picture. Among tho=e in the cast of "Brian Tent" are Kenneth Harlan, Helene Chadwick, Mery Carr, Zasu Pitts, Rosemary Theby, Ralph Lewis and Roy Barnes. HON. MR.
