Seen as the daughter of 2 millionaire ranch owner, who is visiting her father's properties in Montana with group of Eastern triends and falla in love with a cowboy who is ob- viously out of place in her sophia- ticated circles, Miss Crawford gives an inspired performance in a' picture which for plot interest. expert direction and sterling, act ing may be, placed well up on the list of best pictures of 1930.

This film is bound to appeal to overybody. The men will get a kick out of the cowboy exploits, the roping of steers, the cow- puncher slang, etc.; the women will be interested in the variety of smart clothes worn by the star and other feminine members of the cast; while every one will be en- thused over the spectacular set- ting in which the picture is laid, the scenes of the wide valleys, the ravines and precipices and the huge mountains in the background being among the finest ever cap sured by the camera.

The sincerity and originality of this picture are also its weaknesses. There is a subtlety about its com- mentar op British "aportiness" which may be missed by audiences on the nourished for ten years underlined American film..
