 Tho picture h dedicated to the Bey Scout movement and was made especially for this purpose by Fred Thomson, western screen star. MT. Thomson was for a number of years pastos of the First Presbyterian church in Goldfeld. Nevada. During that period he was made Boy Scout commissioner of the state of Nevada. He became particularly interested In the problem of training the ristns generation along proper lines and entered into the Boy Scout move meRt with . great rest and enthu- .,asn. When the war came he went overseas az chaplain of the 14ath lrield Artillery and served during the period of the war.
 After the war he decided to leave the ministry and enter pictures, iee,ing that he could be of more benefit to the youth of America through The medium of the screen. In . comparatively short time he be- came . leading cowboy star through a series of films noted for their whoiesomeness and high entertain nlent value. Ho had nmind during this time the making of a film that would show the achievements and ideals of the Boy Scout organization and its value as a builder of char acter. "A Regular Scout" is the result of this desire and is said 10 bs the only film that has ever re. ceayed tho official commendation and endorsement of the national scout headquarters. The picture has . strsnr appeal and is full of action that haa long been associated with the spirit of the west. It deals with the salvation of man who took a yoN of vengeance and then changed his mind because of the deep and affecting influence Of a group Of Boy Scouts who had come into his life. There is an unusually hne deltneation of character and a sriPping effect that holds to the end. Mary Carr, Olive Hasbrouck, Will liam Courtright and others add strength to tho picture.
