TO BE SCREENED ON FRIDAY. 4.n unusually good film drama, “Moi-o-anson’s Finish,” a Tiffany production will be serened on Friday. The story is taken from the same name by Jack London .and is in that master writer s best vein. It is a red-blooded epic of the eternal struggle of man to Avrest from the earth the hidden gold that has been a lure to the adventurous since the world began. The direction is excellent and the locale of \he Alaskan scenes picturesque to a degree. As thrilling a fight as ivas seen upon the screen Is one of the great moments in this enthralling film drama There is no doubt in the mind °* t*?- 6 reviewer that Johnnie Walker and Manlon Hamilton who take the leading parts of this particular episode breathed a sigh of relief Avhen that scene avus over.. One could believe that they actually ■beard the sounds and heavy breathing of the maddened men. Anita Stewart, ias fragile and beautiful as eyer as the pivotal character or the story, was both charming in the first part of the picture and dramatic in the Alaskan sequences.
