Show "TALKIE" BOASTS OF UNUSUAL THEME Stories of the supreme sacrificing tendency of mother love have long been the theme for motion pictures and fiction writers. Similar stories of paternal devotion have somehow been neglected. We often become a little conscience stricken when we think of the inglorious reputation surrounding our male parent a provider that and nothing more. Rarely do we hear of him as a glorified glori-fied person in the sense that he is confronted with a spiritual struggle which will allow him to make a martyr of himself for the sake of his child. Columbia Pictures has taken this unusual theme for "Father and Son," a production synchronized with dialogue dia-logue and music, which is coming to the Victory Theatre this Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, with Jack Holt, Dorothy Revier and Mickey McBan. The sacrifice Frank Fields, played by Jack Holt, is ready to undergo for his son, Jimmy, portrayed by Mickey McBan, rivals in intensity any story of parental devotion that has ever been told. |
