Make no mistake about it, "Dodge City" is just a horse-opera. It may have a bar-room fight which is at least fifty times bigger than those that Tom Mix used to win. 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...

...rate, it is worth noting that of the three hold-overs in Boston currently running, only one is at a theatre incurably addicted to the practice. "Grand Illusion" at the Fine Arts is finishing its fifth, and 'its said final week; Jesse James, the rootin' tootin' gunman in technicolor, is shooting his way through a second week at the Met; and "Gunga Din," replete with a tribe of murderous Indian natives, is still at Keith's. All three, and especially "grand Illusion," are worth seeing; likewise the new Joan (Hedy Lamarr) Bennett, coming to Loew's in "Trade Winds...
