Big Jack" gets under way on its
comic. rather than its serious note.
when the doctor is rescued from
the moose to dredge slug out OF
the bandit leaders leg and nurse
him back to health. The nature
Of Big Jacks work being such that
he has need Of a personal physi-
clan. the bulk OF the plot from
there on concerns his efforts TO
win the jealous surgeon TO the
pleasures OF armed robbery.
Then, as sort of dramatic
fugue, the scriptwriters wind
things up on the serious note. The
doctor is saved from hanging this
time by completing his first sue
cessful operation just as the
townspeople are about to lynch
him for digging up a number of
their late friends and relatives for
anatomical study.

reading up on your history Of
medicine lately, these mob attacks
on students of anatomy were an
actual practice Of the day.
Gene Fowler, Marvin Borowsky
and Osso Van Eyss. who wrote
the screehplay. provided Director
Richard Troupe with several fanci-
full comic sequences to brighten
his story Of an outlaws contribu-
ton to medical science. One of
these has Mr.. Beery and Miss
Main decide that their unwilling
doctor is unhappy because it's
spring and a man needs a mate.
Their direct solution is q raid
on a nearby Maryland village,
where they kidnap one for him.

being buried for dead while sitter

covered in the doctors back room,
dead, buried and disinterred for
the second time. Seems kinda
good to see him again, says one
of the discoverers. Sure a hard
man to keep under ground, says
another. Judgement Day will be
no novelty to him.

The headliner of the Capitol's S

not long ago proved himself funny
enough to share. the London Pal

He's funny at the Capitol, too.

prejudice and a doctor forced to
rob graves for subjects for his re-
search in the reprshensible field
of surgery.
Neither of these is bad idea,
as ideas go in Hollywood. To-
gether in one film, however, they
create something of a clash Of
moods. There is some dramatic
effect, of course, in the contrast
between the bandits robbing of
the living for personal gain and
the doctors robbing Of the dead
for humanity's gain. with the
latter regarded as the far meaner
crime.
There also Is an uncomfortable
effect, though. when the rollicking
mood of Mr.. Beery's rough ban
ditry is abruptly showed aside for
the serious tone Of the DOCTOR S
crusading. 1t isn't uncomfortable
enough to keep big Jack" from

There are too many teachers Of

Officials in the state department
