8074 Code SANU Second Fiddle Film Guild, Inc.
Featuring Glenn Hunter, Mary Astor and Tozvnsend Martin
In the little New England town of Spell's River, George Bradley the blacksmith, with his wife and his son Jim, who ran the local garage, were eagerly awaiting the return from college of the older son Herbert, for whom Jim had a profound admiration and had always played second fiddle. Herbie, on his arrival was a little disappointing. He had grown quite superior and his attitude toward his family was one of toleration,
Jim was bashfully and awkwardly in love with Polly Crawford, the doctor's daughter. But he was not a ladies man as Herbie was and he envied his ability to dance. Nevertheless Polly preferred Jim.
All his life Jim had let Herbie shine while he modestly admired with the others. But suddenly there was a brutal murder in the quiet little village and both boys had encounters with the murderer. The way each conducted himself was characteristic. Herbie even tried to throw discredit on Jim in order to bring greater glory to himself but the truth could not be concealed and Jim came out splendidly in the end. His fight with the murderer will make even a jaded movie fan gasp, and when he rescues Polly and asks her to marry him and she says what everybody wants her to say, it sure does end just the right way and leaves you feeling happy and satisfied. Somehow you're glad that the first fiddle has broken down and the second fiddle been promoted.
It is a splendid story, well acted and will please any audience.

8075 Code SANAR Tiger Rose Warner Bros.
Featuring Lenore Ulrich A dramatization of the great stage success with the same star from the story written by Willard Mack and presented by David Belasco. The screen version gives a great deal more opportunity for sustained suspense than the stage version. It was taken in an environment of stupendous snow capped mountains and the scenery in many of the locations is superb. Rose, the heroine, is rescued from a raft floating down river and adopted by the kindly old Scotch factor at the Hudson Bay Trading Post. She loves a young engineer with a railroad surveying party and the dramatic interest of the story hinges principally upon her hiding and protecting this lover who is fleeing wounded after accidentally shooting the man who had brought trouble to the family of his sister. The spectator's suspense is wonderfully sustained and the dramatic situations are frequent and surprising. Anyone who saw the stage version should see the screen version and those who did not should be even stronger inclined to see the picture. 4772 feet standard length — on 5 reels Rental $7.50
