THRILL AND ACTION
ON BURMA ROAD

Plenty of action, a new setting
and an above-average supporting
cast combine to make "a Yank on
the Burma Road" which opened
last night at the Mason City Theatre
an outstanding picture.
More than just a story of Chinas
efforts TO keep supplies rolling over
the famed Burma Road, it is tale
of China-of it's fathers and mothers
and children, of the Chinese spirit
which will not down. Actually the
Burma Road element only provides
the background for an action TO-
nance story. 1t serves an admirable
purpose, however, giving excellent
atmosphere which is sharply realized
and penetrates the Chinese charac-
ter
The story opens in New York with
the capture of two killers by a cab
driver. He is invited to lead a fleet
Of trucks over the Burma Road, &C
cepts. In Rangoon he meets a girl
anxious to get to Chungking in order
to meet her husband, held prisoner
by the Chinese. She joins the cara
van, which proceeds over the Burma
Road to the Fluctuations of thrills,
tights, pathos and action.
The performances of the entire
cast are good, particularly that of
the leading man, newcomer named
Barry Nelson. Nelson plays the hack
lie, and his Interpretation of the
role is so vigorous and punchy as to
guarantee, in the opinion of this le-
viewer his being seen in many more
pictures.
LARAMIE Day, the girl, does her
usual superb job. She is more than
effective in her handling of the ad-
vances made by Nelson The byplay
between the two of them, with their
thoughts becoming audible form one
of the highlights of the picture.
