Foxton Talkies
REX BEACH’S “BIG BROTHER'’ PICTURISED A “different’’ gang story is Radio Pictures' drama, “Young Donovan s Kid,” at the Foxton talkies to-night. Tho picture stars Richard Dix, famous for his portrayal of Yancey Cravat in "Cimarron,” with Marion Shilling, Jackio Cooper (star of “Skippy”) and Frank Sheridan heading an outstanding cast of featured players. Tho story has to do with the “romantic”’ period of gang history. It deals with the Oar Barn “mob” in tho pre-war New York davs. No “cannon” stuff in thoso days, no “taking for a Tide.” Just the sincere, untarnished dramatic presentation of men who lived by violence, of gangsters who listened to religion occasionally and who tried to go straight, not because of consequence, but because of love.
