Warner Baxter is In “Squaw Man” Film

'Warner .Baxter leapt to talkio fame in “Old Arizona.” In Ccc-ile B. Do Aiillo’s latest production, “The Squaw Alan,” ho returns to the same country, ■and again succumbs to the lure of a primitive beauty, whom he loses in the end. But there is much moro incident, colour and drama in “The Squaw Man” than thero was “In Old Arizona, and it will bo surprising if tho latest Baxter vehicle is not the more popular. It comes to tho Kosy on Saturday. i 1 Tho Squaw Man” re-creates the famous red-blooded stage play of Edwin Milton Roylo in talkie form, sweeping from aristocrat England to Arizona, Where tho beautifully photographed out-of-doors forms, an impressive background for unfolding the destiny of two women and ono man, the ribaldry of tho “boys” on the ranch, and tho drama of James Wynnegate s life. A magnificent English fox hunt accontuates thesa contrasts, the poignancy of which is very keen towards the end, when Baxter’s little boy is ■torn, reluctantly, from his native another. Eleanor Boardman, Lupe Velez, and Boland Young head an unusually distinguished cast. Altogether, “Tho Squaw Man” may bo pronounced a splendid entertainment. It is a Aletro-Goldw) nMayer picture.
