"OVER THE WALL”
Dick Foran and June Travis, fast-! rising young Warner Eros. stai*s, appear in “Over the Wall," a melodrama hav- |
ing to do with a man falsely thrown into prison and his sweetheart who
I believes in him and finally obtains hif i freedom. A thrilling story originally written by Warden Lewis E. Lawes of Sing Sing prison, “Over The Wall" has an authentic ring that combines drama with romance. Foran’s singing voice, always s® appealing in his Western picture! (which have now come to an end, the long series being completed), is heard to excellent effect in “Over The Wall.” He becomes a member of the prison choir, whose songs are broadcast weekly, and thus he wins for himself a tremendous public and the attention of the governor, who is persuaded to listen to some new evidenc® which clears him of the false accusations.
Miss Travis, as the faithful sweetheart who never doubted her boy digs up this evidence. The Warner Bros. Cosmopolitan picture was directed by Frank MacDonald from a screen play by Cran® Wilbur and George Bricker. Other! in the cast include John Litel and Veda Ann Borg.
