With an all-star cast the picture

role.
With this cast and a gripping
story, Harry Pollard, the director,
has turned out one Of the big hits
Of the year. Much praise is due
Pollard for the adaption which he
did himself.
The romantic interest in the story
is contributed by Jason Robards and
Olive Hasbrouck. about whose 1--we
