MAYFAIR
Jack London’s immortal story, ‘ Call of the Wild,’ has been brought to the screen in a way that will delight all pieturegoers of every age. The picture commenced at the Mayfair to-day, and tho colourful characters and beautiful natural scenic backgrounds endow ‘ Call of the Wild ’ with distinction as a picture of the romance in the great outdoors. Clark Gable has the leading role as Jack Thornton, the handsome swashbuckling prospector, and his performance is said to stand out as the linest of his career. Loretta Young is Claire Blake, the sheltered young society woman who cast her lot with Thornton and his pal, Shorty Hoolihan, when her husband is lost in tho Arctic wastes, and Jack Oakie is at his best as the wise-cracking Hollihan. The work of the entire supporting cast, which includes Reginald Owen, Frank Conroy, and Katherine de Mi lie, is uniformly excellent, and tho film introduces a new “ wonder dog ” in Buck, the St. Bernard who plays London’s immortal dog hero.
