Manam Hopkins, Franchot Tone in ‘Stranger’s Return’ Earthly as is the loamy soil of| old Towa, is Metro-Goldwyn-May- er’s picturization of “The Strang- er's Return,” the new Phil Stong novel of rural lifes which opened| Sunday at the Coliseum Theatre. King Vidor has again given the screen a living drama in this un-/ usual film. The breath of life has been instilled in his graphic char-| acters. All the rugged beauty and simplicity of farm life is as real as the scope of photography permits. There have been fine perform- ances credited to Lionel Barrymore before, notably that of lawyer in “A Free Soul” which marked his return to acting a few years ago. But here we are con- vinced Barrymore has reached his greatest glory. the 85-year-old patriarch who re- fuses to die until he sees his be- loved farm in kind hands, is im- memorable. He looks the part, lives it. philosophy, gnarled by toil, his! Grandpa Storr is a characteriza- {| tion to go down in histrionic arch- || ives. Seeks Peace on Farm Co-starred with him is Miriam || Hopkins in the most dramatic role yvet offered. She is appealingly sincere in a role of difficult trans-| lation. The city grand-daughter of the ancient tiller, she comes back to the farm to find peace, only to find it tragically inter- | i|locked with romance. Beautiful in pictorial charm, filmed almost entirely in the out- of-doors, the picture at once grips you with the feel of the farm. The barnyard influence is well de- livered in Vidor's matchless man- ner. His camera angles and smooth | flow of story movement are some- thing to delight a jaded cinematic palate. If he has any peer in the American field, we cannot at this moment recall who it might be.

ROBINSON IS HILARIOUS AS EX - GANGSTER Star Has Amusmg Role as Beer Baron with So- cial Aspirations When an underworid big shot rum-running ings, trade in his liquor trucks for polo ponies; when he begins to talk with a broad A, lapsing into a bit of French now and then— wLen, in short, he makes up his mind to “muscle in” on society and be¢ a millionaire among the mil- lionaires, the result is likely to be hilariously funny. It would be funny, even in real life. But when the gangster turns out to be Edward G. Robimson, as he does in his latest First Na- tional picture, “The Little Giant,” which opened at the Capitol Sun- day, you can settle back in your seat to follow his adventures with the prospect of an amusing hour ahead. “The Little Giant,” may be re- garded as prophetic picture what those bootlegger leaders who have survived the bullets of pang- land, and who may have held on ill-gotten wealth, may do now that real beer has become legal in the United States. The picture is not a gangster story in the ordinary word. Far from being the deadly menace of society, Robinson plays the sucker to a family of allegzd society folks to such a marked de- gree, that “The Little Giant,” may well be called Robinson's first comedy. Mary Astor as Robinson’s lead- ing woman in “The Little Giant,” brings once more her individual and charms, Russell Hopton, well-known for vivid characterization on the stage and the screen, is seen as Robinson's right-hand man.
