HERE IS REAL THING IN WESTERN GOODS •The Covered Wagon’ Had Its Place, but ‘The Big Trail’ Wins as a Talking Recorder. BY WALTER D. HICKMAN YOU are going to ask me if “The Big Trail” is as good as the “Covered Wagon.” First things generally stick with one, and sometimes we do not like repetition of a theme. “The Covered Wagon” will stand out because it did blaze the trail in the movies Now we have the talking and sound treatment to the covfreg wagon episode in our history. Just as good as was “The Covered Wagon” in its silent form is the 'cund end v* -be’ "er-G-i of tV —'~ thing. You may miss the kick of finding something different in “The Big Trail,” but you will find that the modem treatment of tne ih .me

does taik right into your heart and brain box. Where the orchestra and sound effects gave you this in "The

Covered Wagon,” you have it in actual words, sounds, intrigue, hate, love, death and everything that has to do with life. The story is the same old trail as “The Covered Wagon.” Not the same route, but the hardships attending it are the same. Not a duplicate, but a modern talking treatment of an historical fact,

talked and sounded in terms of modern movie theater. Then you know your background and so we are concerned with the cast. Standing out is the work of a man that I do not care for as an entertainer. Regardless of that, he walks away with the honors in “The Big Trail.” He is not double meaning here. Tam talking of El Brendel He uses a mule here for many comedy laughs. Avery good combination. Brendel has become a personality. Here he is clean and not double meaning. Being clean, you will remember this man for his very human comedy relief. The work of Tully Marshall as Zeke will stick in your memory. You also have the legitimate work of the villain as played by Tyrone Power. Here is magnificent work. Unpleasant? Yes. The love element, you ask me. Yes. Gobs and gobs of it as played by John Wayne and Marguerite Churchill Nice, sweet, simple, pure even when spoken. You will love them. Also you will like the natural work of that youth, David Rollins, as Dave Cameron. Raoul Walsh is the director. He

has done the difficult job in turning into sound an idea that we had inpart In "The Covered Wagon.” I recommend in all sincerity that everybody see “The Big Trail.” Now’ at the Apollo. a a a “AVAR NURSE” IS A FEMALE WHAT PRICE GLORY” My verdict of “War Nurse” is that it is a female “What Price Glory” done in female slang, Sex and what have you. It does not have the intelligence

of “What Price Glory,” not because it is female, but, because it is not honest in the sense of the theater. I would not for a minute say that the nurses depicted in tliis story were of the Red Cross. The word is flashed on the screen that such is not the case. It gets rather dangerous to show* women operating as a sex impulse dur-

ing the war. Either saying “no” or “yes” brings on its tragedies as uttered by these alleged nurses. You even hear one dame, serving as a nurse in one of those privately sponsored hospitals, state that she has bathed so many naked men that she would be willing to live with the Eskimos or words to that effects. Tne idea of that remark is plain enough. It gets laughs. That’s box office. Robert Montogmery, with his way with women, is a male three weeks. Montgomery to me in this picture is a sex version of a strutting peacock. But he leaves no scarlet, in fact. Just w’ords and the strutting invitation. Anita Page plays the role of Joy and does not live up to her name of “Joy” when she gets too friendly with a soldier. Helen Jerome Eddy gets over big in a cemody way as “Kansas.” “War Nurse” is miles and miles

away from realism of art. To me it is another picture and miles away from being a good one. Sensational? Yes. Box office. Yes. Anything more. No. It might break box office records. Who can tell. Now at the Palace. a a a BILLIE DOVE’S ACTING IMPROVED IN NEW PICTURE “One Night at Susie's” gives Billie Dove the kind of role she should have had long ago. In the past Miss Dove has been starred too much, with' little or nothing to do. In this picture she is not cast in th3 biggest'role, but as a chorus girl who is honestly in love, she has something to do, and she does it. The fat role is portrayed by Helen Ware, who comes to the movies from the stage. Asa hardboiled character known as Susie, who knows all the crooks of gangland and how to handle them, she gives a convincing piece of acting of a woman who trys to protect an adopted son from the underworld ways his father had pursued. Douglas Fairbanks Jr. does very good as the boy, who, though going straight, tak&s the chorus girl’s rap, after a shooting. Tlie story is interesting enough and moves along nicely, but it seems rather odd and inconsistent that a girl would commit murder to protect her honor. # and then turn around and "sell that honor under the name of sacrifice, just to get a play produced so as not to disappoint the boy who went to prison for her. and who wrote the play while there. This picture corned under the head of just pleasing entertainment. - The stage show is called “Neptune's Festival,” and Charlie Davis and band are playing three good bers, one of which is the old hit, “Poor Butterfly.” The old times, like this one, are always welcome. The Publix unit talent is very en-

RENTON’S A* -„7 Neuritis and Rheumatism

The distribution of Renton’s Hydrocin Tablets resulted from the recovery of a citizen of Pasadena. Calif., after three years of bed-ridden suffering from Arthritis Deformans. These tablets have done much to relieve muscular aches and pain, and aid in the treatment of arthritis, neuritis, sciatica, gout, and other rheumatic afflictions, where due to excessive uric acid in the system. Their intrinsic merit lies in the fact that they contain tb- one known effective solvent of uric acid crystals. i-rescrioect bv many leading physicians, and endorsed by wholesale and retail druggist. these tablets have reached a sale from coast to coast largely through recommendation of one sufferer to another. $1.50 for week’s treatment, or $5.00 for month’s treatment. At all Walgreen Stores, or your negihborhood druggist. Tune in on the Renton program. Station WKBF. every Monday evening at 8:45 p. m. —Advertisement.

Now showing at the Indiana (By Connell Turpen.) a a a A SATIRE ON LIFE AND REVOLUTIONS I like "Spread Eagle,” the second production of the Civic theater this season, because of its clever and modem development of plot. In the first scene of the third act, when the audience becomes ’that of a Broadway theater, the theater manager comes out and reads a notice that war has been declared on Mexico by the United States, and all officers in the audience are to report for duty at once. The second scene in this same act,

which reveals a radio station with the announcer reading stock reports, but who immediately switches to the news of war, when brought to him by a messenger, is rather novel because of the way in which the scene fades from view, by the lowering of the lights and the announcer's voice. Here is a satire on life and revolutions that registers. You will like Jack Harding as Joe Cobb, the hardboiled and synical ex-soldier, who joins the army again, in the war with Mexico (because they have a band, says he>. after an unhappy attempt in business and love. His language is something rather strong, but you listen and love it. Mary Allen as Rosalie Kent, gives a fine portrayal of woman with nerve and grit. The way she slowly lights a cigarette and then crunches it out upon the table, before she calmly walks out to meet death in front of a Mexican firing squad,
