(€VFRYBDDYB PICTUREB. TO-NIGHT AND TUESDAY. DRAMA OF THE CANADIAN , WILDS. “MEN ■OF THE NORTH” AT PRINCESS THEATRE. '■ * i Romance, /thrills, high adventure and. mystery; 'iricthe North Woods are at the w.her© ‘‘Men of the North,’’''Mp^ohGoldwyh-Mayer’s gripping drama of-; the French Canadian wilds, is being seen. With a splendid cast, headed by Gilbert Roland, as Louis the Fox, and deep snows of the high Sierras, and Barbara Leonard, ihe vivid drama is based .on a. plot by Willard Mack, author -of “Gang War,” “The Common Sin” and other hits. Hal Roach, the noted producer, directed it personally. Much of it was filmed in the dog team thrills, ski jumps and other exciting detail embellishes the dramatic mystery, with its romantic surrounding. Roland is superb as Louis, the trapper, suspected of theft and trailed by the’Mounted Police through the, wildererness of snow. Miss Leonard gives a winning performance as the . heroine and Arnold Korff contributes an expert characterisation as the millionaire father. Other competent work is done by Robert Elliott as th e Northwest Mounted officer, George Mavis, as tne comic redcoat. corporal,-Nena Quartaro. as the fiery , halfbreed charmer of the wilds, and Robert Graves, jr., a§ the priest, . The soenic settings in the deep snow are unusually effective.
