begins to steam and emit smoke.
With two places open, I like Dodg-

the battle between the citizens who
want to raise steers and those who
think grain is the profit crop. They
reach their climax in great fire

Brennan. whose performance is
one of those things which makes an
observer think of Academy awards,
has never been more impressive
than in the role of Judge Bean. He
makes the judge the most engaging
villain of the season, a jurist who
can hang an innocent man with
everybody's approval, fellow who
can contemplate the murder of his
closest friend and give it the appear
ance of a gentlemanly act. In less

Another interesting thing about
Goldwyn's tardily released film is
that it is character study in spite
of the stage on which it is set. The
story of the rivalry between the
homestead farmers who want fences,
and the cattlemen who won't stand
for fences, is told mainly in terms
OF the characters played by Cooper
and Brennan. The former is a
nomadic guy who Wanders into
Judge Beans territory on his way
to the Pacific Coast. He stays when
the pretty daughter of one of the
homesteaderS inveigles him into the
row between the farmers and the
cattle crowd. He and the judge
become great personal friends in
spite of the fact that they are so
definitely on opposite sides of the
fence that one inevitably is going
to have to shoot the other before
the picture ends
The conflict creates opportunity
for some splendidly played comedy
scenes in spite of its essential dead
liness.
Little time is wasted in getting
the picture to the first such Sc
quence, one in which the judge tries
Cooper as a horse thief in one of
the most informal, one sided trials
you ever saw. The trial is conducted
in Judge Beans saloon, the bar
serving as the judges bench, and is
punctuated with some of the most
potent drinking that ever marred
the course of injustice.
The highest comedy, and most
quietly played, is that which de-
rives from the judges worship of
Lily Langtry. He never has seen
her. but his primitive cocktail
lounge is plastered with gaudy pos
ters of the lady and the males of the
community spend most of their non-
fighting time drinking toasts to her.
When Miss Langtry is not keeping
every one in town plastered over the
mere thought of her. the picture is
profting by running gag in which
the judge tries to get lock of her
hair which Cooper is supposed to
have When he actually gets the
lock, which Cooper finally ships from
the pretty head of a farmer S
daughter. it constitutes a scene as
funny as Cooper has played since
Mr.. Deeds.

There really isn't much of a plot
to interfere with Miss Sothern's
field day. There is just enough to
serve as an excuse for gathering
together a sequence of slap-happy
situations and zany gags that are as
slapstick as anything the Keystone
Cops ever perpetrated. This is not
a comedy without its faults, to be
sure. but Director S. Sylvan Simon
(sicD has kept it moving at such a
frolickirg pace that you overlook

1t is the playing, of course, that
can make or break a film in the
daffy mood and this picture en-
ploys the talents of some expert
farceurs. Miss Sothern is not the
only one present skilled at the art
of distilling the headiest wine from
a comedy situation. Gathered to-
gether for this mad and maddening
week end at a lakeside lodge are
such people as Roland Young, Regi-
nald Gardiner, Billie Burke and Ian
Hunter, an able crew.
Mr.. Young is in especially fine
fettle as the harassed executive who
wants only peace and quiet but is
brought ever face to face with some
new difficulty threatening to stretch
his nerves beyond the fraying point.
