There Is nothing more terrible cowboy amusing than a himself at the expense of the peace and quiet of the rest of the world, by ceaseless, mournful tunes on a rusty harmonica. It is no wonder that Peggy kicked. Kicked in' the literal sense of the word, for Peggy was a horse an Intelligent horse, with a taste tor good music, and a horrible hate for bad. Peggy Is Hoot Gibsons pet pony. She will do most anything for the amiableam!Jlng Universal star of the west, but she has her scruples, horse. like any She likes music, but she doesnt like her master to play a harmonica near her. It riles her. It makes her mad. It makes her sore. It makes her ill at ease, it makes her raise her heels and kick at the rest of the world. She kicks forcefully and often. v The fact that Hoot Gibson la only playing the part of Jeff Bransford, y hero of one of the Eugene Manlove Rhodes widely read novel, makes no difference to Peggy. She objects to mouth organs. Peggy's kicking is one of the features of "Sure Fire," Hoot Gibsons newest and best romance of the west, coming to the Strand theater Monday and Tuesday. ft LEI soul-seari- Tonight and Saturday Frank Mayo in GO STRAIGHT And Hall Room Boys Comedy Watch This Page Each Issue for Review of Coming Theatrical Events well-meani- ' v After the Show Coming to Columbia Monday and Tuesday J.
