GRAND
“THE BUGLE CALL” “The Bugle Call,” now playing at the Grand Theatre, is a mighty lesson wrapped up in a mighty piece of drama. Laid on the American frontier in the ’seventies, when the cavalry carved a path for Western settlers through the Indian country, it tells the story of an orphaned child of a frontier cavalry captain —and of the problem he faced when a stepmother came to usurp the place in his heart occupied by his mother’s memory. This delicate romance is told against a background of primitive adventures on the plains. Jackie Coogan, as the little bugle boy, is a figure both pathetic and heroic—and intensely human, and Claire Windsor plays the stepmother beautifully. Herbert Rawlinson is convincing as the cavalry-captain father, and some clever character touches are added by Tom O’Brien.
