Ann Little plays one of the leading roles opposite Reid. -I- -I- -ITHE REGENT. Harry Carey has a romantic role In “A Gun Flghtln’ Gentleman,” which opens Sunday at the Regent. And Carey does some scrapping. At the outset of the story John Merritt, formerly a western rancher and now a beef magnate of Chicago, finds that the ranch of “Cheyenne Harry” Buford Interferes with his scheme of territorial empire and tries to buy the land. When Harry refuses to ‘sell, Merritt tries force. Failing In this he employs a crafty attorney, who succeeds in causing the land to revert to the Merritt estate. Cheated, Harry ’goes to Chicago to demand justice. He Is unsuccessful and finally takes the law In his own hands.

How he “steals” the heart of the Chicago packer’s daughter and also regains his property, forms the text of the story. -I- -!- -]- “MALE AND FEMALE." My Lady's Bath ia one of the big scenes in "Male and Female,” the Cecil De Mllle production, which opens Sunday at the Keystone for a week.

Gloria Swanson Is the fair bather. Os course, not In the bath, but Miss Swansou does wear some gorgeous gowns. The story of Crichton, the butler In the family of Enlish nobles who was wrecked with his master’s yachting party at sea and became their leader, has long delighted thousands. Thomas Meighan plays the leading

role and Theodore Roberts, Raymond Hatton and Guy Oliver are Included in the cast. BOOST SUGAR INDUSTRY. Well known capitalists and manufacturers of St. Louis have combined to invest several million dollars for on Initial sugar Industry development near New Orleans,
