“Cherokee Strip” At The Capitol

Richard Dix was enthusiastically greet-ed at the Capitol Theatre yes- terday v. here he played {he slar role ln PJl-illiltllntb SWCibllili ng "Cherokee Strip," an histolxpl romance of the settling of the West. Dix, in the role of a United States Marshal in a bordertou-n of the last great. land rush, inspired the aud- ience to appllause in a role in which

he is at his

Realism was the keynote of “Cherokee Strip." Bullets bit il.c dust and flicked the brick and plus- ter, in some of the ﬁnest gunpay it has been our fortune to see. Beau- tiful horses mounted by experls flashed back and forth throughout the scenes. More cattle than has ever been together on the screen before makes an uwe-irlsplririg sight a blackground of snow- capped mountains. The al gun- ﬁght that turns the town into a shambles is thrilling beyond des- cription. Dix should play more of these he-man roles. if yesterday's audience was an criterion.

The very beautiful and blcnre Florence Rice played the lcadi: g role with him and added just ll1€ right Viouch of romance in an out- standing performance. Andv Clue and George E. Stone in widely dil- ferent. comedy parts brought many a laugh. Victor Jory and Morris Ankrum plan-ll the roles of tvlo pretty tough hombres.

The story of "Cherokee Strip" was written bv Bernard MoConville and based upon historical fact. Tl.e local is the scene of the last great land rush to occupy the feriLe lanes of Cherokee Strip. actually participated in by 100.000 people

,seeklng o. home they could call their

own. It was conducted by Llxe United States Government in 1893.

Naturally, the opportunity to get something for almost nothing would. attract every sort of person, good gr bad. They settled temporarily ln overnight towns along lhe border lo await the word to start the rush and from than on it was “the devil take the hindmost." Unfortunatey the hlndmost were ofien the best settlers, those in the forefront were the scheming outlaws and gamblers. the bad men of the west, quick at the draw and masters of horseman-

ship.

"Cherokee Strip" concerns long standing feud of two clans of Texas cattle ranchers, the Llovells, headed by Richard Dix and the Barrets. headed by Victor Jory. After signing a true the Barrens migrated to a bordcrtown on the edge of Cherokee strip, now part of the stale of Oklahoma. Here they opened a ba.nk. a saloon and a gambling house to conduct their outlawed transactions. Dix is ap- pointed Marshal of the town and his efforts to clean it up make one of the best and thrilling piciures ‘seen in many a clay.

The picture was directed by Les- lcy Sclander from a screenplay by Norman Houston and Bernard Mc- Convllle. It was produced b1 Harry Sherman.

Unfortunately, a. number of these mmlttlmces are incorrectly made out, or as in the case of many let- ters, bear garbled addrezses.

lnoted. The day she and her father and aunt had landed at Auckland was marked. “General Martin"; on the page following she found her own name; "Miss Marris." The page; following were filled with an unusui number of entries "Drova crowd Aucklnd Hamilton," hex‘. day “Hamilton New Plymouth." Two days after came a. more por- sonal entry which made Lorna stare. "Dam' herl" he had written.

Lomvlrs nrsnrrouvruva "FIND"

When the first light crept into the room next morning, Lorna took I-Iawksfordb pocket book from un- der the duchessc. She spread it open on her pillow, putting aside a oriv- ing licence which fell out of it. She did not look at the entries, but first found the folded sheet of paper on which he had copied the letter on the previous evening.

It was not the contents which made her conclude that it was the right paper —so far as it; contents went, it was utterly disappointing. The name of the addressee had been left out, and only a part of the message itself had been copied.

“With regard to the fishing rods." it ran. "I am willing to pay your price. and I will pick them up on the afternoon of November 20th. You are right when you say the deep sea fishing is not to gOOd in the South Island as in the North, but there is rozne good sport no be‘ had off Gulliver's Bay."

At first Lorna was so disappoint- ed that she thought she had the wrong piece of paper. But there was no other loose one in the book: it was blue. like the sheet Sue had seen Hawksford writing on; it was in his writing. But after a moment. of consideration. she saw that it was not so insignificant. Here was n. mention of a price. a. delivery. and a um. 1f "fishing wds" stood for "information." it was easy to see the meaning of the mes aim. And where was Gulliver's Bay. and had that item of sports gossip anything to do with rest of the message?

She was left with the unsatis- factory feeling that the word; mlzht mﬂn ﬂilvihlng and notliln-g, she hm not learned to whom tlle leitcr had D9611 BdUTESSCCl. She wgs n9 further advanced as to why Hawkg. ford had steamed the envelope "D911. unless instructions for him, from whatever agent he worked for, “me lnﬂnicuslv conccnlcd in let- ters for some other, unwitting in- dltgidua},

But she began to see that if there was any Inner meaning in the "l9 Mile at nll- she was a step for. ward. If I-Iawbsford was the one who W” dflllverlnx "fishlncl "rods" cm N... vember 28th. she would only have m keep in close contact with his ac. tivitlea throughout that dav in ex- Pcao the secret of the whole affair

And the day after. a Friday. she remembered that was the evening when they had driven out over the Taranaki plain, came the simple en- try. "lam " with the name under- lined twice. She quivered painfully.

Had that incident then, meant zomething to him? She turned the page over hastily, half dreading to see what came next -—on the day he had learned of her engagement and they had quill-felled. A blank. Nothing fauna ten pager, then n

"Could I have some breakfast up here?" she asked when the maid came. "I'll be leaving as soon as possible, as I have to drive to Tlmaru."

She got up and hurriedly copied the sentences on the rheet of blue Dﬂper on to another to keep for herself. and returned Hawksfordk 60W to his pocket book. She got back to bed and lay there. on m.- terhooks, waiting for breakfast.
