Apollo conducted himself so satisfacto
Immediately concluded he must have
epent a couple of years in the Para
mount stock company, getting expert
ence. No greenhorn could have been
so expert in his debut before the
camera.
THE Call of the Wild" was, as you
no doubt recall, Jack London's poig-
nant story of a sentimental Sledge
dog who couldn't forget his grand
pappy was a wolf Roaming around
Alaska in the days of the gold rush,
the novels hero was constantly be-
sieged by atavistic longings. Buck has
them too in the flicker tale by that
name, but there are sundry uIstrac-
tions to the drama, tending to defect
attention from his problems. The
diversions consist principally of Clark
Gable, Loretta Young, Jack Oakie, a
heavy romance, some gold mining and
some swell shots of three people get
ting drowned.
Mr.. Gable and Mr.. Oakie are two
gents who,
'Longed for the bite of the Yukon
night,
And the Northern lights weird
flicker
For a game of stud in the frozen mud
And the taste of raw red likker."
When Call of the Wild" comes to
Loew's Palace next week We'll try to
explain how they went about salts
flying the yearning.

pion American advice-giver does not
appear himself. He is heard, but seen
only in silhouette.
