amusing, because Of the funny

AS seen Monday morning.
The feature, THE Fox" is a
picture depicting life in IL efar
west In an unusually fine and in
teresting way.
AS is true OF most OF the Wes-
teern stories there are those who
break al laws of God and man. and
make trouble constantly for those
who woul be law-abiding. but the
strength of o picture OF this type
lies in the fact that even in surl
surroundings there are found mon
of real character. unafraid to stall
out boldly for the right at the COZ
if need be. OF their own lives.
And to provide the romance,
without wricA any story would BE-
incomplete. our hero is rewarded
by the love OF a good woman.
