HOOT GIBSON IN “THE PHAN-

TOM BILLET."

MATINEE TO-DAY

Hoot Gibson, the screen’s most famous delineator of cowboy roles, appears at Everybody’s in “.The Phantom Bullet,’’ a Universal-Jewel. Cinema experts have pronounced this picture Hoot’s greatest effort so far. in it, the Western star gives to his portrayal a depth of characterisation, both dramatic and humorous that shows a new side to this already many-sided screen luminary. His lighter moments are masterpieces of portrayal. His impersonation of the timid, rabbit-like “sail” brings him to the fore in that exclusive circle ox star comedians and the dramatic suddenness with which he resumes his own character is a cinema moment that will live for a long time. “The Phantom Bullet,’’ was adapted by Curtis Burton front the famous story, “Click of the Triangle T,’’ by Oscar Friend. ’lt was directed by the screen’s greatest Western director, Clifford Smith, who was responsible for the success of Gibson’s first starring vehicle, several years ago. A cast of unexcelled worth will be seen in support of Gibson. His leading woman is Eileen Percy, the rest of the players including Allan Forrest, Pat Harmon, Nelson McDowell, William H. Turner, John T. Prince, Gilbert “Peewee” Holmes, Itosemary Cooper, Eobert Milash and others. In addition two entertaining comedies “The Twin Sisters’* and “Happy Go Lucky” and Gazette.
