In the first place, Hart seems years younger than he was when he retired He weighs more and the additional pounds are not unbecoming. He acts incomparably better than he did in his last three releas: In_other rds, film fans wiil see Bill Hart of six years ago in a film made with all the mechanical and technical refine- ments which have marked those year: and they will see a fresher actor. on with a surer touch than he had when he retired.
