Show "THANK YOU" WILL MAKE YOU LAUGH AS ,WELL AS WEEP John Golden Stage Success Furnishes Fine Basis for Screen Play Alec Francis in Lead A rural drama with pathos and rumor perfectly blended is "Thank You," the William Fox picture ad- , , apted from the John Golden stage play coimdng to the ISIS Theatre Sunday and Monday. ."Thank You" ranks with "The Old Homestead," : . "Way Down East" and other classic dramas of the village-dife variety that are so dear to the American heart The plot revolves around a smalltown small-town New 'England pastor who is forced, because of his inadequate salary, sal-ary, to accept the left-over viands and an occasional scuttl of coal from his parishoners. And all he can offer in payment is to say, with his most courtly manner: "Thank you!" There is a love story running par- . allel to the other, adding the glamer of romance to the pathos of the pastor's pas-tor's characterization Aflec B. Francis has Ihe principal charcter role, that of the Rev. David Lee; he gives perhaps the best interpretation in-terpretation of his long and successful success-ful screen career. He lends a whimsicality whim-sicality to the part which at times softens the almost tragic note of the story as it affects him, George O'Brien, hero pf the epia "The Iron Horse," also is the hero of this picture or rather he shares "hero" honor with Mr. Francis. Mr. O'Brien is the dashing young sweetheart sweet-heart of the pastor's niece, played most fascinatingly by Jacqueline Logan. Lo-gan. In the' all-star supporting cast are George Fa(wcett, James Neill, J. Far-rell Far-rell MacDonald, Vivian Ogden, Edith Bostwick, Marion Harlan and Frankie Bailey. John Ford directed. |
