...Silent Enemy (Burden-Chanler). Every schoolboy knows that the Indian has not yet quite vanished from the forests of the continent that was his. But no schoolbook, museum or government bureau will ever preserve the vestigial red man as this picture does. Few professionals could have made such a picture, nor could they quite destroy it with commercial cutting and retouching after the effort and money lavished upon it by courageous amateurs. It is the work of William Douglas Burden and William C. Chanler, a young Harvard combination. From boyhood Burden has known the forests of Canada. The cast...

Declared Chairman Legge to his critics...
...Light of Western Stars (Paramount). One of the major failures of talking pictures is their inability to transform into anything more lurid than drawled "yes ma'ams" and "darn its" the blasting oaths which, in silent westerns, poured inaudibly from the lips of frontier villains. This Zane Grey story, however, is nicely photographed and contains all the proper western elements-mortgaged ranch, murdered cattleman, girl from the east, rescuer on horseback, crooked sheriff. It is all played humorlessly but fairly effectively by Richard Arlen, Mary Brian and a villain named Fred Kohler. Best shots: Harry Green as a Jewish...
