"a Holy Terror"
For q Merry Fourth.
THE world premiere" Of "a Holy
= Terror" took place yesterday at
the Fox Theater at the witching hour
of 1853 am. At that time those who
expected a Lon Chaneyish film, or
one dripping with ghosts and light
ming and rain must have had some
what of a surprise. For George
O'Brien, seated comfortably on a
bucking broncho, attired in his best
Long Island riding breecheS, is the
terror" and the rest of the picture
Is throwback to the grand cid days
of William s. Hart, when men were
men and heroines were made of
sterner stuff than our modern high
ball-drinking CinderellaS.
Made distinctly as a program"
picture, there is nothing to catapult
one out of ones seat, nor anything
else to warrant fits of hysteria. Done
in the manner of our grandfather
"flickers," it reveals an incredible
little story about father, who
wasn't a father, and a son, who
from a polo match on Long Island
to avenge the foul murder Of a
man in whom he should have had
very little interest.
The best of the pickings in this
docile and occasionally humorous
little fable is Mr.. O'Brien's unex-
pected entry by forced landing in
plane into the shower bath room
OF the heroine. What are you doing
here?" she asks, as the man steps
out of the plane within y foot of
her shower bath curtain. Other
items to delight the average cine
matte soul is the leap over Devils
Guich," done in Mr.. O'Brien's most
athletic vein; the villain turning out
to be hero and the gently pcrfumed
lady-of- in the Western
cabaret hangout slapping enc of
the villainouS lads with a sound slap
in the face. Many shots, showing
That Mr.. OBr1en can ride a horse
and the heroine rushing 70 the aid
OF the hero, add to this pleasant
little round of entertainment. The
kiddieS, grandma and those Who wish
a refuge from 4th of July firecrack-
ers should revel in 1t.
Other than the amusing Mel Klee
OF blackface fame, and Mangean's
1nternationals, a group of extraor-
dinarily agile jumping, rolling and
bouncing acrobats, the stage show
has for its star seal called Buddy,
presented by Walter Jennier. Mr..
COR Mrs.) Buddy is hereby voted the
most satisfactory stage personality
OF the week and one of the most en-
gaging performers as we'll. His train
ing shows infinitely more results than
many college educations. Wells, VIM
throp and Stanley execute clever
dancing steps before Buddy's ap-
pearance and the Gay Sisters come
out and sing nicely and ought, per-
maps, to sing even more.
Al Mitchell leads his musical breth-
rem through a splendid number and
Bob Hamilton plays the old tunes in
a new way to complete the bill.
