This is proved In "Tho Medicine Man," a five-part Tri angle production written by Jack Cunningham, In which Roy Stewart and Ann Kronan are the brli;ht and shining lights. The nature of their doings Is neither novel nor particu larly thrilling, but thoy are both such natural and likable human beings that everything connected with their affairs Is of interest. Roy Stewart who comes nearer to realizing the big, 'openhearted, uneducated West erner of fiction than any man acting, for the screen, makos Jim Walton seem so real that his character study alone- Is accountable for 50 per cent of tho picture's good points. Ann Kronan as Edith Strang muBt be credited with 25 per cent more, the story easily supplying tho remaining merit marks necessary to Its success. Jim Walton, the sheriff of Kl Do rado, discovers that Joe Malono has found pay dirt in un abandoned mine. The owner of tho mine Is a sixteen-year-old girl, who arrives In Kl Dorado as tho daughter of a traveling medicine faker. Tho quack doctor discovers her, when a little child, lying beside tho dead bodies of her father and mother out on the desert. lie has been good to the child, but, after arriving In Walton's town, enters into an agreement with Maione to cheat Edith out of her property. This Is where Jim takes a hand In her affairs and docs so well ,for :Jthepi both that- Edith gets her mlno and Jim gots Edith. . Nothing Quick Deliveries ore a feature of this lumber business.
