“The Lone Star Rush” (Alliance)

The Lone Star Rush, a film version of Edmund Mitchell’s widely read novel, is scheduled as the next offering on the Alliance program. The scenic background of the story is laid in the arid gold fields of the Australian desert and deals with the romantic adventures of a party of prospectors.

One of the striking features of this picture is the really remarkable perspective view showing the mad rush of the army of prospectors, down the parched mountain-side into the alkali plains, under whose dust run the veins of gold ore. They come afoot, on horseback and in antiquated vehicles of the country.

The production was filmed under the direction of Mr. Mitchell, the author of the novel, and the leading parts are played by Robert Frazer, late leading man for Henry W. Savage, and Charles Arling, formerly associated with Francis Wilson. Rupert Julian, who appeared as Marc Antony in William Faversham’s production of Julius Caeser, at the Lyric theater, New York, also appears in a leading role. May Gaston, until recently leading woman in the Éclair–American companies essays, the stellar female part.
