NEWS CAMERA
STORY GRIPS
AT FOX

An epidemic of films portraying
the hazards and supposed every
day experiences Of newspaper men
seems to have hit the industry all
in a bunch. With Telling the
World" memory Of a few weeks,
we now get THE News Parade, I"
current attraction at the Fox.
In this bit we have in place OF the
cub reporter the enterprising and
ambitious news photographer who
does everything but blow up with a
battle cruiser to get q place as a.
camera man on a large metropoli-
tan daily.
Do not take it that this piece is
lacking in laughs thrills and real
interest. in fact 1t is full of those
essentials that go to make a genu-
inc drama, even though the demon
camera man Is of some genus that
we have never encountered In our
perigrinations for news.
Nick Stewart as the lead in the
piece, starts out as an amateur
photographer ambitious to become
the star box" man on the sheet.
He quits his job in the pressroom
for the acids and red lights of the
dark room, and the hazards of
camera news gathering.
We see him on an airplane,
then on a new piece of fire ap.
paratus and finally taking a
shot at window cleaners on the
top floor of a skyscraper.
Nick finally does the impos-
sible in getting closeup of the
millionaire who has an aversion
to posing for the press.
Certainly the photographer
saves the rich man and his
daughter from the villain of the
show. At that the feature film
is pretty good entertainment for
these warm nights.
The stage presentation lis ex.
ceilent and well up to the stand.
