Junet Gaynor and Henry Fonda, the romantic leads in the forth- coming production. give promise of being the new sensation of the screen. Fonda, who is 2 дет- comer, never having appeared be-

·fore in a film production, has been idehtined with the speaking stage only, and registered a hit in the same character in the stage play that he essays in the picture.

Miss Gaynor and Henry Fonda are two young people who fall in love with each other while working on the Erie Canal,

canal-boat Miss Gaynor is a cook, born and bred on the water- ways and completely in love with the life on the canal. Fonda, on the other hand, is a farmer by nature, working on the canal for the sole purpose of earning enough money to buy his own farm.

The opposed ideals of the two lovers adds a zest and charm to that is altogether the romance fascinating, and delightful.

Supporting Miss Gaynor and Henry Fonda are such outstanding players as Charles Bickford, Slim Bummerville, Roger Imhoff, Andy Devine, Jane Withers and Mar- garet Hamilton.
