“THE WAGON SHOW”
KEN MAYNARD AND TARZAN Ken Maynard, who has attained an enviable reputation as one of the most versatile of Western stars, has achieved something interestingly different to the usual cowboy vehicle in “The Wagon Show,” his latest First National picture. The star, who executes some breath-taking riding and driving feats, is provided with a circus background, and he makes the most of a unique opportunity to display stunts and trick riding that fills the picture with vivid action from start to finish. The plot, which centres round Maynard’s own ideas, tells of the vicissitudes of a small circus travelling through the West in the early days. These shows were an event that brought the ranchers into town from miles around. The theme also embodies an appealing love interest, as well as dealing with the fascinating life of those who follow the circus tent. Maynard is responsible for excellent work, while pretty Marion Douglas and Maurice Costello also figure in the strong supporting cast. Tarzan, the wonder horse, exhibits an almost unbelievable degree of equine intelligence.
