Motion Picture Reviews
Nine
the mine owner’s young son, with three friends, sets out to protect it and solve the mystery of the lost train. The gangsters involved in the action are sinister and villainous; and the struggle is between organized crime and boys and girls of college age who appear better able to cope with the situation than the police. They are armed and use guns effectively. The action is noisy and exciting and as the chapters progress the climaxes are increasingly impossible and harrowing. It is not approved for junior matinees — because of this theme. An adult audience caring for this type of story will find it sustained in interest.

“The Masked Raider” is a racoon who raids the farmer’s hen coop nightly. Two small boys and a dog set out to catch him but their adventure has an unexpected ending. A very diverting little sketch of farm life with nice photography to enrich one’s memory of the out-of-doors. Family.
