Laughing Lightning
In picturesque Paris and the Swiss Alps .
Jimmy gazed into a pair of soft-boiled eyes and then he found himself in the
most amazing round of thrills and romance and laugher that ever occurred
in one young man's life. Jimmy first saw her in Paris and finally climbed
the highest peak in the Alps for her. Fun with a man-eating grizzly after
the hero. Fun with a landslide of snowballs with the hero inside of one.

The. story of a Kid with a Fighting Heart
When a picture hits your heart a wallop and brings tears of gladness to
your eyes, it's a great picture. When it sways you with its story of human
hopes and dreams its failures and triumphs it's Big. And that is just
what "Battling Bunyan" does. A story of a waif of Fate, battered from pil
lar to post, taking the jibes of the multitude, battling his way to success
and a girl's tender lips. From The Saturday Evening Post Story by Ray
mond Leslie Goldman.
