Star of Met

"The Kid Comes Back" cur
rent at Warner Brothers Metro
politan, is a story Of the ring
and the attempts Of an old-time
fighter who knew all the tricks
of the trade, but never seemed
to be able to clinch the cham
pionship.
A Texas cowhand, who left
the great open spaces for the
more confined regions Of Mad1-
son Square Garden and a rodeo
group, finds himself at loose
ends when the group breaks up
on the stranded side; our hero,
however, has vicious punch,
likes a good fight and takes up
with a contender for the heavy.
weight championship who sees
good material in the Texan who
refused to lower his chin.
There is plenty of excitement,
a mild love story, and action to
thrill the heart Of the youngest
and the Oldest fan and fight en-
thusiaSts will like the regulation
bouts pictured.
Featured is Wayne Morris,
the small boys hero, who looks
and acts with enthusiasm in
this particular role; Barton
MacLane is that never-say-die
fighter whose heart is set on
the championship crown and
whose efforts to win it are heart
breaking at times; the girl in
the case is played by June
Travis, whose claim to beauty is
stronger than her acting
ability; Joseph Crehan, Make
RoSenbloom, David Carlyle,
Dickie Jones and Herbert Raw
linson form an excellent sup
port.
Short features include a tech
nicolor, Romance of Louis

q comedy in which the Three
Stooges cut up their usual cap
ers and a newsreel which takes
us here and there where things
are happening. K. Y.
