All the buoyant spirit of youth,
the philosophy and breezy action
with which the noted author, II. G..

has been retained in '"Fhe Fourth

last and most engrossing starring
vehicle, which began a four-day
premiere showing at CrandaII's
Central T'heater yesterday.
As young pugilist who with
draws from the boxing game at
the behest of his ambitious young
wife and undertakes to manage a
garage, Johnnie Walker has a role
for Which his talents are fashioned
seemingly to order. Opposite him
is the beauteous Eileen Percy,
charming always and blessed in
this picture with role that fits
her as snugly as a new pair Of
kid gloves.
The fight episodes combine big
drama and rousing comedy 1t is
the romantic element, however,
