REGENT THEATRE
“North to the Klondike,” Universal’s new picture of pioneer days in Alaska, screening at the Regent Theatre, is pure action and adventure reduced to their essentials, and they make highly diverting screen fare. Brod Crawford, Andy Devine, Lon Chaney, and Evelyn Ankers fill the leading roles capably, and with them is an excellent supporting cast that Includes Lloyd Corrigan, Dorothy Granger, Keye Luke, Willie Fung and hundreds of others. The exciting climax of the film is a fist fight between Crawford and Chaney. It is doubtful if any battle since that memorable one in “The Spoilers” has surpassed this spectacularly bruising and mauling conflict between the two fist-flailing giants. Clarence Upson Young, Lou Sarecky, and George Bricker wrote the entertaining screen play which is based on a story by William Castle from Jack London’s “Gold Hunters of the North.” There is a good supporting programme, including “Mystery Ship.”
