Buck Jones Steve H?nson Muriel Evans Retta Lowrey Harvey Clark Jim Lynch Walter Miller Jake Wagner Lee Phelps Peter Sta itTed Adams Slim Dickie Howland Sonny Lowrey Ezra Paullette Suds Maloney Matty Fain Sam Leavitt Grace Goodall Aunt Martha Directed by Ray Taylor. Somewhat machine-made Western with Buck Jones riding well and putting over a virile performance as a cowboy who helps a Government Agent to round up a crook who has stolen his girl friend's land. Muriel Evans shows to advantage in this latter role. •RACING ROMANCE Radio. British. " U" certificate. Turf comedy Runs 62 minutes.

Maclean Rogers. Story by John Hunter. There is quite sound romance and domestic humour in this simple little comedy which shows how Harry Stone, garage proprietor, engaged to ambitious Muriel Hanway, meets I'eggy Langstone, a pretty girl whose father, a farmer and racehorse owner, is going broke. Touched by her concern he buys a filley from her at a very low price and gets her to train it for a race. Muriel, jealous, pretends to acquiesce if he will promise to sell the horse if it does not win. It does win. however, and is entered for the Oaks. Harry realises that if the horse wins he will have to marry Muriel, whom he at last realises he does not love. The horse loses and Muriel breaks her engagement. The objection flag goes up, the objection is sustained, and Harry finds himself the owner of a valuable horse and free to marry Peggy. The acting honours go to Eliot Makeham who is exceedingly good as Muriel's hen-pecked father. FALSE EVIDENCE Paramount. British. " A " certificate. Murder drama. Runs 70 minutes. Gwesli.ian Gill Judy Endale George Pembroke John Massiter Michael Hogarth Gerald Wickham Daphne Raglan Annabelle Sterling George Pugh Tom Vanderlam Francis Roberts Det. Inspector Jones Langley Howard Julius Wickham Dempsev Stuart Det. Sergeant Fuller Ralph Michael Constable Barlow Ben Williams Mobile Police Constable Terry Conlin Station Sergeant Directed by Donovan Pedelty from the novel " I'll Never Tell," by Roy Vic hers. Indifferent acting and lack of action tend to negative an otherwise quite fairly ingenious murder story. The picture would have gained immeasureably by better acting and less dialogue. The best performance comes from George Pembroke as Massiter, an American who employs the heroine and eventually marries her after she has exposed her defaulting fiance's wife who had married him for his money, and been implicated in the murder of his uncle.
