You need not be a dog fancier to enjoy Rin Tin Tin in his latest and finest vehicle. Rinty's histrionic efforts will keep you amused and make you marvel. It is plainly seen that the story has been built around the personality of this wonder dog. Rin, a victim of circumstantial evidence, outclasses his good name, saves his master's baby and kills the real enemy of the sheep fold. Excellent for the kiddies.

"The Night Cry," with that incomparable actor, Rin-Tin-Tin, is another not-so-good story, depending on its leading character. Rin-Tin-Tin is more amazing than ever. I shouldn't be a bit surprised to hear that he was to try "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde," and it's going to be no time at all before he is photographed in a dressing gown smoking a pipe.

He is a far better actor than many of his two-legged brothers.

I can't begin to tell you about his new tricks. He is slimly supported by Johnny Harron and June Marlowe.

In New York, Rin-Tin-Tin made personal appearances with this picture ­ and if he comes to your town, by all means to see this scholar and gentleman. Go, even if he tries to sell you a complexion cream after the performance. (No, he doesn't really.)

Here is an out-and-out thriller, one that is somewhat different from the usual plot concerning Tin-Tin-Tin, the he-hound of Hollywood. In one respect it is similar to the original yarn that featured Strongheart. Whereas the latter dog was accused of being a cattle killer, Rinty is accused of being a sheep killer.

Naturally, his life is at stake, but after suffering all kinds of abuses, he reveals at the finish that he has been unjustly persecuted. Result? Well, he is honored as a true canine gentleman and scholar. The picture is punctuated with thrills, most of the way ­ and is shot against atmospheric backgrounds. It is capably acted.
