But that doesn't settle the problem

what was supposed to be its best ball
team into battle with the Yankees.
only to find that the Yankees refused
to do battle Instead, they held the
Cubs off with one arm and kicked them
in the ribs in fatherly fashion until
the series was over.
The Yanks did not extend them
selves to win in four straight games.
They played gayly and easily and
somewhat scornfully. When the Cubs
got run-and the Yankees were

Hubbell? The Giants scored run
early. A run means something in the
National League, and the Giants
priced this one, but the Yanks tossed
it off lightly, preferring the routine
play at first base to the play at the
plate. Then they went out and scored
eight themselves.
The same thing happened in the
second game. with Cliff Melton, who
had handcuffed the National League,
pitching for the Giants. The Yanks
conceded the early run and promptly
scored eight of their own. They did
lose one game in the series. because

wagons probably never realized
the romance and the drama De-
hind that name. the vision Of

and fast overland coaches.
Call it an epic of Americas

Wells Fargo is great entertain.
ment that holds the spectator
engrossed from the opening
scene to the happy ending.
Encompassing a period Of
American history that includes
the California gold rush days,
the Civil War and the early
days of the reconstruction era,
the picture graphically presents
the highlights of those exciting
years. Opening picturesquely
with the shipment of the first
fresh oysters from New York to
Buffalo by the visionary Wells,
the story then traces rapidly the
opening of new routes to st.
Louis and then through to Cali
fornia.
AS Ramsey Mckay, the right
hand man of the trail-blazing
Wells Fargo, tall, handsome Joel
McCrea has the best role of his
career and he acquits himself
nobly. Francis Dee plays his
bride, who gives up the COM
forts of a luxurious home in st.
Louis to join him in the mining
camps of the Far West where
Wells-Fargo is opening banking
and express offices.

in saying that after the big
blow had subsided remem-
bered had left my umbrella in
the National Theater, resolved
never more to complain while
waiting in the rain for taxi.
AS for the story of The Hur-
ricane." it concerns Terangl,
proud native of Menukura,
mate of the trading schooner,
married to Marara, daughter
of the great chieftain, Mehevi.
The natives JOY over the we'd
ding is soon turned to sorrow
when Terangi gets involved in
d braWl at Tahiti and is SEN
fenced to six months imprison-
ment. Numerous attempts to eS-
cape extend this term to 16
years.
VETERANS ARE BEST
Governore De Laage of the
Islands refuses to intercede for
Terangi, holding that he has
defied the law and must pay the
full penalty. But Terangi man
ages to escape after numbering
a guard, makes his way by
canoe over 600 miles of open
sea, and is reunited with his
family just as the first signs
of the great storm appear.
Terangi proves the hero OF
the tragedy, and the pleasant
ending comes when the gov
ernor develops poor eyesight
long enough to permit the little
family to paddle away in a war
canoe, to what one hopes is hap
pineSs.
Best acting in The Hurri-
cane" comes from such ex-
perienced troupers as C. Aubrey
Smith, Thomas Mitchell and
Raymond Massey. Smith plays
the kindly priest of the island.
Massey the straight-laced gov
ernor, and Tommy Mitchell, a
bibulous but lovable French doc
tor. They serve Director John
Ford we'll.
Mary Astor plays the govern
or's wife and survives the sound
and fury without losing a wave
of her marcel. This is one of
the hurricanes real miracles.
The South Sea settings and
marine views are exquisite and
The Hurricane" is cordially rec
commended to those who like
their love-making mixed with
excitement.

Trigger Bill" is the chief at
traction at Loew's Capitol. Wal
lace Beery is that Bad Man
From Birthstone" and as the
title would indicate, it's tale of
blood and thunder. Back in the
days of the stage coach, and sill
yer mining rusheS in Arizona,
life was wild and the strongest
two-gun man was boss.
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer picked
a red blooded Western for Beery
this time, the kind of action
story which will bring the mem
bers of the stronger sex straight
to the Capitol. Easily they num-
bered six to one at the early
Friday evening performance.
At that this Bad Man is a vel
come deviation from some of
the over-sweet comedies, and as
such is welcomed by any ad-
mirer of Wallace Beery. I'm
mistakably it is his picture, with
just a little slice for Lewis
Stone. Trigger" Bill offers
Beery a chance to fight his way
through any predicament from
a crooked card game to a cattle
ruStling jamboree, a hard-boiled
sinner, with an occasional soft
streak. Occasionally the role it
a bit incredible and more than
occasionally, the action does not
ring true, though that does not
seriously impair the results.
Stone as previously noted
turns in a sterling performance
as the Judge who has perhaps
stretched the law bit. Dennis
OKeefe as Jeffery Burton, really
the Bad Mans son, is a clean
cut chap but he doesn't click
with this reviewer. Several old
timers appear in the supporting
cast, making a rather pleasant
commemoration with such tired
players listed as Virginia Bruce,
Bruce Cabot, Quinn Williams,
Noah Berry, Charley Grapewin,
Joseph Calleia, Guy Kibbee and
Cliff Edwards.
The stage portion of the pro-
gram is topped by La Lage,
European aerialst. A charming
and lovely girl, La Lage offers
an act both daring and spectacu-
lar. Jack LaRue and Vince Bar
nett, billed as the bad men from
Hollywood, making a personal
appearance buoy up the pro-
grams comedy.
