that here in a spirited Slavic dance

scenery but gnaw it right down

This is not to be considered in
the nature of a complaint. Mr..
Beery hardly can be maligned for
being Mr.. Beery, and quite recog-
nizably, even though slightly dis
guised by his own version Of a
Mexican accent. Nor can Mr..
Barrymore be critiZed for bouncing
boisterously and shouting continu-
ally at the top of his voice. Rather,
the two should be praised, for their
overabundant enthusiasm does serve
occasionally to distract from the
general inanity of this comedy del

Mr.. Barrymore, it seems. is the
fellow who has more trouble than
any one else in the world He and
his nephew are about to De tossed

holder, whose daughter is in love

anyhow. So this Mexican bandit
that's Beery-turns up. recognizes
the nephew as the man who once
saved his life, and in loving graft
tude devotes the day to setting
matters Alright.
This Pancho Lopez is another
character over which Mr.. Beery's
admirers probably will chortle with
glee, the grlise of Mexican bandit
who makes his own laws, shoots his
own enemies, looks out for his own
friends, being not far removed from

usually plays And Mr.. Beery at

canons Of what is. and is not, savory.
But the screens Tobacco Road" is
by no means a denatured rewrite of
Erskine Caldwell's tragi-comic biog-
raphy of the Sinnin est man you
ever saw"
What appears to be the essential
story of the Testers, now hilarious,
now tragic, is in the script which
Nunally Johnson wrote and from
which Ford worked. 1t is the tale
of weary, sly, ireverent, profane,
poverty stricken old man who loves
the barren acres on which he and
his freakish family are starving
The land betrays him, but he loves
it deeply enough to die for it and,
In the process, to treat his family
as so many animals.
If that statment of Ford's case
sounds solemn, his own statement
of it is not. Jeeter, Ada, Dude, Ellie
May, Sister Bessie, Love Bensey
and the scad of others in the screen
play are the funnier in their antics
for the essential tragedy of the stage
on which those antics are performed.
The screen. for instance, will go a
long way before it comes again upon
a scene so funny as that in which
Jeeter kneelS beside the grave of
one Of his long forgotten children
and bargains with Heaven for a
miracle if it wants him to keep from
tSHir0C hi Il.
and stealing the 500 he needs so
desperately.

family is to steal the son-in- laws
sack of turnips even if they have to
beat him to death: when he lures
Sister Bessie and the moronic young
husband to hotel so he can steal
their car while they sleep.
These are the material for rich
laughter, and Mr.. Ford uses them
TO the utmost. But he makes just
as much. in the other way. of
Jeeter's tragic moments-the most
poignant of which is that when he

less Jeeter, Charley Grapewin gives
another one of those performances
expected of him. Marjorie Rambeau
IS an equally fine choice as the ebul-
lient Sister Bessie who crusades for
Heaven half the time and a young
