He uses a gun to kill in only one instance, that in which a murderous python gets a fying start on him for a deadly con- stricting process. One of the high- lights of this thrill-shot motion nieture is the capture ative of a man-eating tiger. It seems that the Sultan of Johore, long a friend of Mr. Buck, reported a "striped terror" that badi been making raids on native rubber workers.

It's been a long time since lolly- wood has given any of ita pletures a background of the rip-roaring Barbary Canst of San Francisco in its hey-day.

"Wharf Angel," featuring Victor McLagien, Dorothy Dell, Preston Foster and Alison Skipworth, and now showing at the Alhambra Theatre is luid in the brawling, brolling atma- sphere that made the Barbary Const world famous.

And out on the sea, these two derelicts confern their love, not knowing that they are both is love with the anme girl. With such a situation, the pleture gathers momentuni, swinging steadily to the inevitable show-down, which t highlighted by the strange tum of events when the two men face one another In an argument over the girl.
