...clustered near the striped canopy, and out stepped silent Film Star Mary Piclcford, 69. "Hi there," said she with a dear smile, only 3 hours and 15 minutes late to preside over the dedication of movieland's first wax museum, a $1,500,000 white stucco building in Buena Park, Calif. Among the 65 sculptures already inside are tableaux of the Barrymores in Rasputin and the Empress, Gable and Leigh in Gone With the Wind, Pickford and Second Husband Douglas Fairbanks Sr., whom she divorced in 1936, in The Taming of the Shrew...

This incessantly violent, incessantly beautiful adaptation of James Oliver Curwood's Nomads of the North will delight every ten-year-old who ever wrestled his pillow and pretended it was a grizzly bear...
