TALK IS FOX
FEATURE

What with the great open
spaces Of the West as locale for
the film feature, the bounding
main as the set for the stage
attraction and the boys in the pit
doing themselves proud, we throw
boredom to the four winds and
settle more comfortably in the
luxurious chairs of the meZzanine
at the Fox and wait for the over
ture again!
Though the picture, "NO De-
fense," is sadly lacking in al
most everything but trains, 1t
serves as a vehicle for the talents
Of Monte Blue and May McAvoy.
It's all about an engineering firm
that builds mighty bridge
spanning the Indian River. uses
inferior steel In the construction,
and, of course, the expected col
lapse occurs, causes a grand jury
investigation to fix the blame,
and makes tin-hero out OF
Monte Blue. There you have the
story with the possible exception
of the importance played by a
buffalo nickel.
But on the stage we are
favored with another Of the
Fanchon-Marco ideas" from out
Hollywood-way, and this one
termed "Gobs of JOY" glOrifies
the Navy, and introduces Arthur
Pat West doubling for the talkI-
tive Mr.. Fisher), Cook sisters. who
play and sing a bit; the Pages,
who offer some dance numbers;
Dolly Kramer, a little COB OF
nonsense and Scotty Weston,
excellent Taper, not to mention a
full tapping ensemble of 10 boys
and girls who are great.
And, like the frosting on the
cake. we save the best for the
last: A delightfully."- informal chat
with Sir Arthur Conan Doyle,
father of "Sherlock Holmes.
Through Sir Arthur does all the
talking, it was all so natural we
almost leaned over to pat the
famous authors dog that was

And we call the attention Of
all music lovers of the city to the
exquisite number by the concert
orchestra. under the direction OF

work, particularly of the strings.
