So synonymous is it with all things anti-Hays that the public has decided that "Ecstasy" is Old Howard's long-awaited rival.

It may have some beautiful Technicolor which almost succeeds in capturing the sweep of the Kansas plains. It may have Errol Flynn, whose drawing-room polish didn't come from western saddle soap. But it is still a horse-opera. It has the spirit of the old western epic, with the invincible hero who single-handed oan send packing every bad man in town, with beautiful bar-room wenches, and with more gun-fights than horses.
