Well, there is a dam iri "Man Power'; not only that, but it bursts. But then, you know that without being told. Whenever there is a dam in a picture, it's bound to bust. It furnishes the thrilling climax, enabling the hero to make good in a big way. I'm not saying I didn't get a kick out of Richard Dix on his way to save Peaceful Valley in his Big Six tractor; I did. And so will you, whether you give a darn about the dam or not. "Man Power" is a pleasant picture until those old mountain streams begin to swell and run all over. I liked the first part best. It provides some appealing moments between Richard, as a factory hand, and Mary Brian, as the owner's daughter. All very satevepost, but Richard and Mary make it seem almost new. If you must know — he goes to work in her dad's tractor plant, where his experience in the late tank corps stands him in good stead. The excitement when the dam bursts is as nothing compared to the suspense of whether or not he's going to get his girl. It only goes to show that man power isn't worth much without a little woman. 41
