EMPIRE
“THE BUGLE CALL” Jackie Coogan has appeared before his millions of admirers in many guises, but never in a military role as he does in his newest starring vehicle, “The Bugle Call,” a Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer picture, which the Empire Theatre is now presenting.
In this gripping outdoor drama, the juvenile genius plays the part of a bugle boy stationed under his father’s command at a cavalry post on the frontier in the days of the early West. At that period it was common for very small boys to be used as buglers, and they often accompanied their regiments into action. Consequently, the present generation is accorded a wonderfully fascinating opportunity of studying one of these juveline heroes as portrayed with astonishing sincerity and realism by Jackie Coogan. A very touching love story concerning the boy’s father and his second wife, who suffers much embarrassment and pain before she succeeds in occupying the mother niche in Jackie’s heart, adds a tremendous human ap peal to the thrills, comedy, drama and smashing action of the picture.
“Sunshine of Paradise Alley” is also being shown. —— ___
