Buck Jones Provides
Laughs and Thrills in
The Thrill Hunter

One excellent reason for the Sus-
tanned popularity Of outdoor action
pictures in general and Buck Jones in
particular is demonstrated in THE
Thrill Hunter" which is playing at
the Capitol Theatre Friday and Sat
urday.
1t is a lengthy stride for the better
that these outdoor western pictures
have taken with the new recipes for
action, thrills and laughs.
The Thrill Hunter" is superb ex-
ample Of how Hollywood has widened
its scope in connecting novel and
pleasing cinema fare. Buck Jones,
always favorite, exhibits new tai
ents. not only for providing thrills
and romance, but for possessing an
excellent sense OF comedy values.
AS q prevaricating cow-puncher
Buck Jones works himself into web
Of uproarious circumstances by con-
vincing Hollywood that he is the
worlds champion racing driver as
well as daredevil war aviator. He
confidently spins the most fantastic
yarns and consequently lands a con-
tract in Hollywood where the trouble
begins.
It's all q lot Of fun: there is more
than the usual mount Of action and
numerous hearty laughs when Buck
begins to become involved in the
meshes Of his own prevarications.
