Trader Horn is really a first rate fim, and is well worth seeing both for its photography and pictures of Jungle life and for its thrill and. excitement.

THE SILVER SCREEN.

"THE BIG TRAIL."

MAGNIFICENT PHOTOGRAPHY.

...." The Big Trail," "story of the pioneer's who opened up the Wext--| era States of Ameriet, makes an impression that will not easily be | forgotten.

Sitting in comfort,, in the King's Theatre, ona's thoughts turn to the case and luxury of our modern life, and one wonders, could we to-day face what those men and women

ineed, and carry through as they did. We know, of course, that the figures we see upon the scene are in fact med and women of to-day,' but equally we know that though the making of this picture could not have been a pleasant or an easy task it was nothing coinpared to the reality it pictures..

What ha amazing pleture of cour- nge and cadurance it is, even more amazing perhaps than the "courage of those who went on to the end, was that blind courage of dispair of those who turned back to face again the desert, the canyon and the torrent...

་

The film is an extraordinary vivid reconstruction of a magnificent adventure.

The unusually good photography plays a very large part in the emotional effect. There are pic- tures which any great artist would have been proud to have composed, the grouping and lighting-take their part as they should in the telling of the story. £.

One feels, perhaps, that had there been a little less conversation, which at times tends to hold up the action, the whole might have been bettered, but that is a small fault in a really good picture.

The leading characters play their parts well. John Wayne as the hero makes one believe as the character develops that Coleman was the type of man who would be followed and trusted, while Tully Marshall as Zeke is equally convinc- ing. The heroine is played by Marguerite Churchill who manages to look pretty in the most trying circumstances and every one of ́n large cast contributes his or her quota to a very fine picture.

CENTRAL THEATRE..

"DANGEROUS NAN MCGREW."*

Victor Moore, comediau with Helen Kane in her latest picture, Dangerous Nan McGrow," now running at the Contral Theatre, has his own ideas about the future of the audience-laugh. He foreseer a big change in laughter-technique and he names the talkies as the causo.celebre.

For untold ages," says Moore, "people have laughed at their leisure. In the theatre actors stop Ded their lines until the hubbul subsided so that nothing might be lost to their audiences.

But to-day the audible screen

is changing all this and the laugh- ter of the next generation may be a single short staccato bark instead of the prolonged guffaws of the. past.
