It is based on a novel, “Treve,” from the brilliant pen of Albert Payson Terhune. In this offering Noah Beery, Jr., portrays a young fellow who meets terrific obstacles when he is suddenly compelled to make his own way in the world. During his adventures he meets a beautiful young girl, played by Barbara Read, who becomes interested in him romantically. Noah owns a sheep dog, Treve, and Barbara’s uncle has a sheep ranch. That would seem tc make everything wonderful, but uncle is obsessed with the fear of dogs. He orders Noah and Treve off his ranch. The dog later saves uncle’s life, rounds up flocks of lost sheep and. for good measure, wins prizes at a dog show. Those who enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors, the spirit of adventure and swift flow of emotional conflict; those who like a bit of romance in a screen narrative, as well as freshness of treatment, will be entertained by “The Mighty Treve.”
