“WESTERN UNION.” Made into one of the most thrilling adventure pictures of all time, Zane Grey’s “Western Union” will be shown tonight. Filmed a technicolour, it has a splendid cast headed by Robert Young, Randolph Scott, Dean Jagger and Virginia Gilmore. The film depicts the building of the telegraph in the West by Edward Creighton. Dean Jagger plays the noted engineer who leads a wagon-train out of Omaha with distant Salt Lake City as the goal. Romance, action, Indians, adventure, and all the excitement that was the frontier West have been deftly blended in “Western Union,” which is undoubtedly a brilliant picture. Under the expert direction of Fritz Lang, the suspense of the plot grows more intense with each scene and reaches a gripping climax when a raging fire threatens to destroy the entire caravan Others featured in the cast include John Carradine, Slim Summerville, Chill Wills and Barton Mac Lane.
