"JOE YOUNG" IS
THRILL FEATURE
NOW AT CARilOL
Sensationally novel and actionful
screen entertainment is presented
in "Mighty Joe Young,” which
opened yesterday at the Capitol
Theatre, with Terry Moore, Ben
Johnson, Robert Armstrong and
Frank McHugh in the stellar roles
and with presentation by John
Ford and Merian C. Cooper.
The identity of the much-dis
cussed Joe Young proves to be the
surprise of the picture, the adven
ture-thriller builds suspense to a
stirring climax as the character
Joe Young performs feats of super
human strength, ferocity and, fin
ally, heroism.
With New York, Kol'ywood ant'
the African jungle as its principal
e rungs, the action of' the filn.
turns on the startling results of a
showman's trip to the Dark Contin
ent to collect animal talent for an
exotic night club he is building in
| the screen capital. Armstrong plays
the showman. Miss Moore has the
part of a girl who has been brought
up on a lonely farm in the heart
of Africa and has trained a bu re
gorilla. Johnson, a "find," is cast as
an Oklahoma cowboy who accom
I panies Armstrong on his safari.
| Frank McHugh plays a hara rd
I press agent.
J Mounting thrills mark the es c
| career of Joe Young as he reduces
a night club to splinters, and, as
later he threads the flaming tim
| bers of an orphan asylum to rescue
[ its panic-stricken inmates. This is
i a show to hold the spectator spell
j bound.
