C. Armstrong. "THE GAUCHO" SHOWS AT SCOTT'S TWO DAYS In Douglas Fairbanks' new picture, Douglas Fairbanks as The Gaucho, at the Scott theatre, he has the most dashing 1 part he never played. A gaucho is a picturesque nineteenth century character little known to the States, and apparently destined to attract more than ordinary attention there as well as in South America. The scenes of Doug's plays have been veering southward; France England, Arabia, Spain, the Antilles--and now the Pampas.
The story has no definite localty but is laid in the Pampas regions at large, marking no pretense at historical accuracy, but using the picturesque environment as a background for romance. Douglas Fairbanks as The Gaucho is a tale of treasurer, combat intrigue and love concering the adventures of a bandit who crosses the Cordilleras with his riders to seize a city grown rich from the offerings of pilgrims to its sacred shrine. For the first the star has two leading women, one a wild madcap, the other a saintly character. The production has a conflict of love interests, said to be much stronger than in any previous Fairbanks picture. Under the instruction of real gauchos from Argentina, Fairbanks has become an adept with the boleodoras, which he uses in the picture as one of his many striking feats of prowess.
"The Gaucho" shows at the Scott for two big days, Thursday and Friday, with matinees at 3:15 at 15 and 25 cents admission and night at 7:15 and 9:15 p. m. 25 cents admission. All school students will be admitted at matinees for 15 cents with a specialy printed coupon in hand. Coupons are bing distributed at the local school on Monday.
