The fort that war built on a hill for Spanky, the little general. and his army of kids was most in- teresting, particularly ingenious home-made props t

The new Roach feature, inid in the picturesque ern of the Civil War, presents a com- bination of romance, laughter and stirring drama which will intrigue youngstors and oldsters alike. Pro- minent roles in the picture are played by Phillips Holmes, Ralph Morgan, Irving Pichel and Rosina Lawrence.
