Considered from a dramatic standpoint, there is really no plot, although a thread of a •story connects the action. It deals with a fox-and-hounds chase over the snow-covered mountains on skis, with the champion ski-jumper as the fox; and he certainly leads the pack a merry chase. There is tortuous climbing of the hillsidesand breath-taking,, slides down almost perpendicular places, executed with marvelous dexterity. There are also some thrilling jumps and stunts. In addition to the thrilling action, the picture is a scenic beauty; everything is covered with deep snow, which is another point of appeal during the warm weather. It will make you feel several degrees cooler just to see all of this snow. _]viot.mg Picture World JACOB FABIAN Producer IN TWO REELS This is an outstanding short reel.
