UNEQUALLED EPIC OF CARAVAN DAYS!
Raoul Walsh’s “The Big Trail,” Fox Movietonep induction, which opens next week at the iCosy Theatre, is the most important picture yet seen. In the power of its drama, the beauty of its moving canvasses, and the broad sweep of its pathos and humour, “The Big Trail” stands alone at the head of the procession. The theme is the western migration of the pioners to the Pacific Goast. All the trigjs and dangers of the original route are reproduced and there is a touching love tale that unifies the stirring adventures. John Wayne is perfectly cast for the lead, and his acting is delightfully direct and human. Marguerite Churchill as his sweetheart is charming. Her beauty has a domestic sweetness which adds an appeal of its own to her sincere impersonation. El Brendel moves the audienec to tears —of laughter, while Tyrone Power, Tully Marshall and David Rollins are excellent.
