 Coming tomorrow, for four days, is a Goldwyn picture. marking the
 first starring feature for Raymond Hatton, who is surely "comer, somewhat on the Charles Ray type. role in his latest picture. His Back Against the Wall" It is essentially a. comedy, starting in the wild and l wooIly east and ending in the civil ized west. It tells a tale of man who is a coward at heart, but who by a strange trick of fate has suddeny | wished upon him reputation of be- | ing a. regular hard boiled egg. He | has to live up to the billing, and how he does it, and the circumstances he | is forced to face through being known a fearless man are what | make possible some of the most orig l inal, unique and cleanest of comedy
 seen on the screen in many, many | months.
