The Sultan's soldiers, on finding her father un- able to pay his taxes, také the girl to the slave market. Collier, her sweetheart discovers that she is gone, quickly follows and ar- rives in a strange city. There he meets Ernest Torrence, a hap- py confectioner who loves Louise TFazenda, a flighty flirt. Torrence promises to aid the youth, They arrive at the auc- tion block and Collier is enabled to buy Greta’s freedom. But they reckoned without their master.

Collier excites the oppressed country-folk to revolt, the Sultan captures him, and—oh well, there’s lots of ex- citement and entertainment in the “Lady of the Harem"—enough for everyone. [+ " | THRILLING WESTERN T § IS NOW AT PALACE | 5 Ken Maynard has gone heymfif being a Western motion picture star. After seeing his latest, “The Land Beyond The Law,” the First National feature which opened at the Palace Theatre last night, one wonders how it is possible for Maynard to avoid repetition of the same riding tricks, the same shoot- ing stunts and other sensations he has employed in past vehicles. “The Land Beyond The Law” proves that- Maynard is to stay with us as a star for many years to come. The story by Marion Jackson provides nim with oppor- tunities to put his white steed Tarzan, through new paces, new stunts, to make animal lovers and casual onlookers alike, gasp. In his latest picture, we find Ken as a United States Deputy Mar- shal, appointed to bring peace to that,portion of New Mexico, which ghortly before its admission to the Union, was overrun by ruth- less cattle barons. “The Land Beyond the Law” should be classed as an “epic,” for it brings in actual historic facts, making them doubly interesting through the addition of romance and action. Dqrothy Dwan is Maynard's lead- ing lady in ‘“The Land Beyond the Law,” and holds up the stand- ard’ set by the cast. Bt " JOHN GILBERT IS i AT PALACE THURSDAY 3 \ !
