Show V1CT0RYTHEATRE With a wild animal hunter as its star ami the dangers which attend him as he plies his fascinating trade, "Wild Cargo" which comes to the Victory theatre Friday and Saturday of this week, unreels the latest Frank Buck adventures in the Asiatic jungles under the auspices of the Van Beuren corporation. Even more interest-compelling than his "Bring 'Em Back Alive," Frank Buck's "Wild Cargo" directed by Armand Denis, concentrates its thrills upon incidents attached to the technique of catching big game alive. A notable incident is the spectacular clash between be-tween a black panther and a massive python. The camera catches the combatants com-batants as the python creeps stealthily steal-thily toward the panther which Buck is trailing with the idea of capturing it. Buck does not get the jungle cat. The python does. Buck's ingenious devices for capturing animals is in evidence. In addition to nets of every description, he used an impromptu im-promptu trap to snare a rare clouded leopard. The animal was espied among the branches of a tree. Buck had a dozen native boys surround the space beneath the leopard's location with a huge net. Buck then fired three bullets into the tree, cutting the branch on which the animal rested. Down it dropped into the net below. Fox Film's latest release, "David Harum," starring Will Rogers, will make its appearance on the screen of the Victory Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. Its typical American theme ileals with a shrewd horse trader. Because of the coldness with which he barters, and his uncanny method of outwitting people in business dealings, deal-ings, his reputation is none too good in the small town in which he lives. A young man who has come to work in the bank owned by the horse trader, learns that his employer really has a soft heart, and that his hardness is only for those who deal unfairly. The young man has fallen in love with a wealthy girl, but hesitates hesi-tates to propose marriage because of his poor financial standing. The horse trader, who is interested in the boy, tries to help the romance along, but gets nowhere. When the young-girl young-girl comes to him and requests him to enter her horse in a forthcoming race, he advises the boy to place all his savings on the horse. The hilarious hi-larious method by which the horse trader brings the horse home a winner win-ner is said to bring the film to a tiappy and amusing- conclusion. The large cast in support of Will Rogers displays an array of impressive names that include Louise Dresser, Evlyn Yenable, Kent Taylor, Stepin Fetchit, Noah Berry, Roger Imhof. Frank -Melton, Charles Middleton, Sarah Padden and Lillian Stewart. |
