Frontier Feud in Saturday Show -<s> A frontier feud that began in Texas and ended bloodily in a tittle Arizona town, comprises the dramatic basis of Harry Carey's new screen vehicle, ‘The Law West of Tombstone” at the Plymouth Theatre, Saturday. The feud lies between Carey, in the role of the braggart but dead shot Bill Barker, and the McQuinn brothers, a trio of would-be desper adoes. Coming to the boiling point shortly after the story opens, the quarrel carries on through the color ful efforts of Barker to establish him self as mayor, judge and jury of west ern Arizona, and winds up in a gra phic and breathless gun duel in the streets of the little frontier com munity. Against this grim background is played a sparkling romance betwen a young gun-fighter whom Barker has taken under his wing and Barker’s daughter, who believes herself an or phan whose father was killed at Gettysburg.
