That old adage about the sins
of fathers being visited upon
sons is proved rather conclusive
ly, If obliquely, in "The Son OF
DR.. Jekyll,' at the Metropolitan
1t may not be demonstrated as
dramatically as it was once by
1bsen, but the fllm, starring
Louis Hayward. Jody Lawrence
and Alexander Knox, ought to
prove satisfactory enough among
the horror set.
Hayward plays the new Jekyll
orphaned when his father, in his
Mr.. Hyde mood. did away with
Mrs. Hyde and then plunged to
his death from the flaming home
he occupied as DIR. Jekyll. Knox
plays the old friend of his father
executor of the estate, and the
Columbia picture, directed by Sey-
mour Friedman. doesn't keep you
in suspense very long about what
he is up to.
Oily chap. Pretends to be the
wise old counsellor and true
friend Of young Jekyll, but some
body clearly is framing this boy
He takes up his fathers Inflated
old experiments and before long
he is being bounded by press
and public and being railroaded
into court on assault charges
There's a new Mr.. Hyde around
the premises and it isn't giving
away any of the films secrets to
tell you 1t isn't Jekyll, fills.
Mortimer Braus and Jack Pol
lexfen. who wrote the screen
play for 1.-THE Son Of DR.. Jekyll, ~
have not come up with any chip
off the old block, but they have
a fairly diverting yarn
if you can put up with its oc-
casionally pedestrian pace. Hay
ward and Knox are probably
better than the film script, which
is a great help. but Miss Law
renee is hardly that. Fortunately
she isn't around too much, just
turning up now and then tc

exclusive fashion in Hollywood
in the last few years.
There is a half embarrassed
love story running through "Dis-
tant Drums" It involves fighting
man Cooper with a heroine
played by Mari Aldon who is in
jteresting chiefly for the fact that
she is never really defined, ex-
icept by the tight fitting costume
she wears.
This costume and Miss Aldon S
hair always remain rather i'm
preSsively clean and orderly
through the $50 miles of Ever
| glades, a tribute to Hollywood S
determination to defend feminine
glamour against the widest at
tacks of Mother Nature.
There are touches of that la
comic humor in Distant Drums"
that are always to be found in
the American fighting man built
Ialong the shambling lines of
Cooper's soldier. One piece of
funny business that he gets, for
example. is that of shaving a
long, dry beard with a hunting
knife.
There is a lot of miscellaneous
shooting in Distant Drums" but
lit is never half so exciting as a
battle that is settled by firing
the dry grasses of Florida (appar-
emily there are some even in the
Iswamps) to force the Seminoles
back. Nor is it as good as the
Iclimactic battle between the hero
and a young Seminole chief.
This is fought in one of those
clearwater rivers of Florida and,
with such a setting available,
lit naturally is fought under water.
It is not as exciting as those
underwater ballets which are
Esther Williams speciality, but
the kids are bound to get a bang
out of the sight of Cooper dig
iaing his knife into the ferocious
Seminole.
Come to think of it, the young
may be the very audience for
which Distant Drums" was made,
to prove to them perhaps that
they never saw anything this big
and Technicolorful on television.

Distant Drums" which opened
yesterday at the Warner.
1t is moderately good to see
them, too, in this war with Gary
Cooper for. whatever else may
be said of the Seminoles, they
never bite dust. When they
topple it is into a crocodile in
tested streams and this is some
how more dramatic than chewing
up a prairie.
Moreover, anyone who appre-
eiateS exciting photography can
not fail to observe that famingos
and alligatorS are a scenic i'm
provement on the huzzards and
COW skeletons that litter the west
ern plains. The juvenile audi
ence at yesterdays first show
buzzed with happiness at the
strange sights and sounds of Dis
tant Drums" so different from
those they meet daily on tele-
vision.
An incident of l840 in the ap-
parently perpetual war with the
Seminoles provides the basis of
Distant Drums" It was dug out
of the archives by Nivan Busch,
a writing man with a gourmet's
taste for blood.
Busch's hero, played by Cooper,
Is an Army captain with a fair
for swamp fighting and a disdain
for the more formal techniques
of warfare favored by his su-
perior officers.
He is up to a special mission
here and. whatever else may be
said for it, it never permits an
inactive moment to .creep into
Distant Drums" The mission in
question is seizing and blowing
up an old Spanish fortress which
is the tribal arsenal. He is to
accomplish this feat with a band
of 40 commando type troops
against an army of Seminoles
that seems to outnumber the fla
mingoes in the Everglades.
Naturally. he takes the fort
(there wouldn't have been any
distant Drums" otherwise) but
he has many a day thereafter
to rue the brashness of his act.
What happens to make him re-
gret his action is a Seminole
attack which cuts off all escape
back to the Army fort except
through $50 miles of swamp, more
Seminoles, crocodiles, cotton
mouth moccasins, etc. This tre-
mendous march through the land
of Chloe, wherever she is, con-
sumes the major part of the films
footage.
AS tours go, this is an i'm
provement upon those westward
journeys which have been the

Thanksgiving you will begin to
wonder. !. Does God approve of
our Thanksgiving? Through the
years since December 13, 1921 we
have lost much of the true mean
ing of Thanksgiving. Thanksgiv-
ing should be as it was in 1921
day of much feasting and even
more prayer and thankfulness for
the blessings of our Lord. Now
we tend to do more feasting and
less praying and giving of thanks.
In this day and age we could use
much Heavenly Help. This year
let's all take time from our feast
ing to be holy and thankful for the
blessings of our Lord. Also if the
leaders of the world will do a lit
tie praying and less arguing may
be in a short time our boys will be
home to stay and spend Thanks
giving with their loved ones. AS
