PICTURE IS HUMAN
FROM EVERY POINT
Homely Will Rogers Stays
Hose to Nature in Every
thing He Decs
One of the strongest human
interest and dramatic pictures
of the year is Will Rogers
new Goldwyn picture. “Jes*
Call Me Jim,” which comes to
the Royal Friday night. It
is filled with pathos and hu
mor. There are tense, drama
tic moments and it is a ve
hicle just suited to Rogers’
personality and ability.
As Jim Fenton, a happy-go
lucky hunter and trapper, he
suddenly finds himself con
fronted with a grim tragedy
when his pal, Paul Benedict,
goes insane and is put in the
poor house.
Jim lives “up the river ’ and
when he paddles to town in
his boat to find his pal, he
meets a beautiful young mil
liner and falls in love with her.
Jim Happened to be the ugliest
and most bashful man in the
county, but he was intensely
human, and his heart won ;
play queer tricks everythin
he saw the attractive milliner,
and although he was a lone
trapper, before the summer
was ever Jim had bought eight
hats from the pretty milliner.
But Jim finally got his pal out
of the poor house, and the
young milliner—but see it at
the Royal Friday night. It is
another of those? Goldwyn
special features that will
warm the cockles of yo r
heart and tickle your funny
bone.
Col. and Mrs. V. Walling re
turned Tuesday from an ex
ended visit with friends and
relatives at Lonoke and Little
Rock.
