The only thing you won't like
about The Man From Home" now
! showing at the Fort Armstrong, is
the brevity OF the scenes around
kokomo, Ind, where Daniel and
J Genevieve begin their love ro-
nance. It's homespun stuff that
has an appeal for all OF US, and it's
done in a fashion that breathes a
naturalness that is refreshing in a
day when there is so much OF the
artificial employed in seeking to
make attractive a theme that does
not neec establishment. THE Man
From Home" is a picture you'll en-
! joy sitting through, despite you
will regret that you don't see more
of Kokomo and Daniel and Gene
We've and their little love affair
there. But that would probably
prevent the telling of the story, so
you'll have to go to Italy and
! browse around among scenes with
which you are not familiar, unless
you have crossed the ocean, and fol-
low story involving fortune-seek
ing royalty.
James Kirkwood is Daniel Pike
and Anna @. Nilsson is Genevieve
Simpson. Daniel is a young lawyer
and Genevieve is the daughter of a
rich man of the town Genevieve
is an orphan, but her father ar
ranged that her affairs should be
looked after by Daniel. Genevieve
and Daniel love each other, and
they are willing that the world
should know it,. Daniel likes to
hear his Kokomo sweetie sing
Sweet Genevieve." and one Of the
prettiest scenes in the picture is
furnished when she sits at the
piano and renders the song on the
eve of her departure for Europe
for a stay OF three years. She is
accompanied to Europe by her
brother OF course, Genevieve falls
in love with prince. All the girls
in Kokomo knew she would do this
very thing. But the prince is broke
and he wants Genevieve to bring
some of her fortune from Kokomo-
But Gepevieve has to talk to Daniel
about that.
When Daniel receives announce
ment of the engagement of Gene
We've and the prince and a request
settlement, he hurries to Italy.
Genevieve, during her three years
in Europe. has been moving in a
social circle that almost caused her
to forget the simpler life OF the
folks back in Kokomo, but when
she realized that but for Daniel
coming to the rescue she would
have been led into a marriage with
an adventurer who cared only for
| her money, she once more heard the
song of the birds back in Indiana
and saw the moonlight through the
sycamores, and she was glad to fall
into the protecting arms of the
young man her father had chosen
to look after her fortune. The for
e-hunting prince, while wooing
the American girl, had been carrying
on an affair with another woman,
and you feel like giving three cheers
for the man from home when he
has the foreigner turned over to
the police for the murder Of the
other woman You'll find it a salts
flying picture all the way through,
both in acting and photography.
