Foran's Fine Singing Voice . . .
THERE are songs in this prison picture, and never 1 have songs been worked more logically into any picture. Litel is groping for some spark in Foran’s makeup that could be ignited, something which would respond to the chaplain’s treatment. He is getting nowhere. One night he hears Dick singing in his cell — the lead the chaplain needs. Through his love of singing the unholy prisoner is reformed. Dick's voice amazed me. I had no idea he was such an accomplished singer, that he had a voice so rich, so powerful and so full of feeling.

ENTERTAINMENT for everybody; another pic¬ ture which demonstrates that budget alone does not mean box-office. There is ten times more real en¬ tertainment in Under Western Stars, costing, I pre¬ sume, a very modest sum, than there was in Sally, Irene and Mary, which no doubt cost ten times as much. The Republic musical Western moves rapidly from beginning to end, presents a new star who is sure to make friends, has some first class singing and
