AMUSEMENTS
STAB COURT THEATRE
Excitement is an elusive sprite that visits
few dwellers on this "mundane sphere. And
it is one of life's jests that those who meet
with thrills usually decide that the prosaic,
uneventful life is better. Take the case of
Tim MeCoy, for instance. Although, a young
man, McCoy has crowded into his life an
extraordinary number of adventures—an ex
plorer, soldier, athlete, and expert horseman.
Not so long ago he retired to his ranch to
seel? comparative quietness among unbroken
horses and nervy steers. Then the movie folk
discovered him, and Metro-Gol&wyn-Mayer
decided to make him the star of a number of
special epic productions dealing with outdoor
romance and adventure. The first of these
is "War Paint," a spectacular story of Rod
Indian warfare. Instead of escaping thrills
and excitement Tim had wandered right into
them. While making the pieturc he was
stabbed by an over-excited Indian. Then ho
was accidentally thrown from his horse and
kicked into unconsciousness. Then, to cap
the lot, he was severely burned by an ex
ploding cartridge. Tim is now stoically
indifferent to what happens; if fate wants to
srivc him thrills he won't argue. Hig first;
picture, "War Paint," comes to the Star
Court Theatre to-night.
The other feature attraction is a Master
picture, "Bobbed Hair," starring Marie
Prr>vr>«t. Kenneth Horlan, Louise Fazcnda
and John Roche. A romantically adventurous
fs.le of. a girl who did not know which of
two men she loved, so she ran away with a
third. An exciting and dramatic story of
revenue agents and smugglers, of masquerade
balls and legacies—"Bobbed Hair" is the
short cut to big entetainmcnt.
The support includes a Christie Comedy
and Australian Gazettes.
