i i . . SCREEN REVIEW By Ray Treadwell "JKSSE JAMES" Unfortunately this ft a picture that thunder ever be has too much blood and Western material in it to The picture is made in which bring* out many scenes of the Ozark Moufcfcaias classified a* a picture of the year but . in spite of this it comes much nearer to being something from real life aad^ t , more worth going to see than some of V the other pictures turned out by the leading studios in which the leading roles are taken by singing opera stars who sing classical music and shook* down mM at the same time. * Tyrone Power plays the part of the notorious jefctlaw who performed the first train hold-up and looting in his tory, Henry Fends plays the part of his brother Prang, iMancy Kelly is Zee, his wife, snd Randolph Scott is Will Wright, the most famous United States Marshall of the tisne, who in real history killed 12 men, of the James gang but Mrfer succeeded in capturing or killing either of the James brothers. The picture was actually filmed in part of Jesse fames’ old stomping ground and much of the equipment used in the film actually belonged to the James boys snd was used by them. Included in this equipment are the boots and guns used by both Bob Ford, the man who killed Jesse James and Jesse James’ own artillery. According to Utw^film the two broth ers were driven into the life of crime by the unscrupulous methods of the St. Louis and Middleton Railroad and . because of their success in hold-ups and robberies of trains branched out into the h«nk business. Due to his love for Zee. Jesse gives himself up to the law on thiw promise of a light sentence but it framed by McCoy, the president of the railroad played by Donald Meek, who tries to hang Jesse but Jesse is shwi by his bnrtlMr Prank aided by Wright who has also * been framed by McCoy. After the jailbreak. Zee and Jesse travel throughout the country until Zee realises that Jesse is going in sane over the kist to rob and leaves him in an attempt to bring him to his senses which occurs too late because their reunion is broken by the marder of Jesse by one of the members of his own gang who shoots him .tu the back in an attempt to collect the re ward and secure the free pardon offered by the government.
