GEORGE O’BRIEN IN “A HOLY ‘ TERROR” . . George O’Brien opened a new bag of tricks in his latest Fox picture, “A Holy Terror,” which enjoyed its local premiere at tho Tivoli yesterday. This popular lending man, who devotes most of his activities to outdoor romances, portrays a role that was tailored to his measure, inasmuch as he is an expert horseman and a licensed aeroplane pilot. Ho performs a series of hazardous tricks on horseback and crashes his aeroplane into tho bathroom of a beautiful girl, Sally Eilcrs—a most unique manner of introducing oneself. This incident, however, leads to romance and to happiness, though in the meantime the hero meets with a series of adventures. O’Brien plays the role of a young society polo player who attempts to run to earth the man he has reason to believe shot and killed his

father. The trail takes him to Wyoming, where he finds his man, whose identity startles George in a climax too good to reveal here. O’Brien plays in a thrilling polo game in one of tho early scenes of tho picture, and later rides a bucking broncho, in addition to performing many other stunts, once more proving beyond question that he has no peer in this class of, role. Miss Eilers is not only beautiful, but demonstrates that she possesses charm, personality and dramatic talent. As the girl, she is all that could -be desired. The supporting cast of this rousing film, including Rita la Roy, Humphrey Bogart, Stanley Fields, James Kirkwood, Robert Warwick and Richard Tucker, could scarcely be improved, upon.
