'HERE is a reminder of the ear- lier days of Hobart Bosworth, when he set a fast pace in motion pictures, as one sees him in the act * of stealing first place in a play at R-K-O Keith's. The plot of “The Carnival Boat"” arouses no intensity of feeling, while the intended lead- ers of the cast, Bill Boyd and Gin- ger Rogers. will not record this pro- duction among their great successes, but two things in the film are worth remembering. One is that the scenes in a lumber camp, with the fighting of a log jam and a run- away train down a steep hillside, are about as fine as it would be possi- ble to obtain for this purpose. The other is that Hobart Bosworth, first %0 create the higher art of the movie, is cast for a living, moving | character, and makes the old man | of the iumber camp appear as an | etching from the rough i forests. All that he has aco ! in the development of pictures seems to have been put into the represen- tation of this man who drives h workers to action, fights against his son's swectheart, and when the younger men refuse to handle a train, seizes the throttle and drives to a real catastrcphe. No star or featured player could have put more than he has into this picture.

Like the “Big Train” in his prime, she knows how to steem across & fast one and when to follow it up with a slow ball. She is so good the show is a success. Had she been left of the cast, the result would been no runs, no hits and no errors. The picture gets off to a start. It drags along at a pace. The plot scems terrible. Just as one almost loses interest. Bar- bara decides the time has arrived to reach into the old sket and pull out a fast ball, a real sizzler. She storms at her -lover, gels hysterical and what not. In other words, the ball game is pulled out of the fire. And if Zasu Pitts were a ball player, she would be a Nick Al- trock. She's funnier than ever. Regis Toomey, the leading man, will do. At least, he doesn't look like a cake eater, as do many of the matinee idols. i The plot deais with a waitress, who turns actress and marries the man of her choice, notwithstanding the objections of a wealthy, snob- bish mother. The vaudeville program is better than usual. Moran and Mack, t. comedians of “Two Black Crows” fame, prove they still have a lot of laughs in their system. They're so good they make their audience laugh at the ancient gag about the chickens who walked out of the coop and went home. D. B.
