(1934, Monogram) Lon Chaney, Jr., Mary Carlisle, Eddie Nugent, Arthur Lake, Sterling Holloway. Another fine poverty row gem. In this well-made sports action opus, Lon plays a collegiate track star who vies for not only the top spot on the track squad, but also to see who’s the most popular man on campus. Best of all, you get to hear Lon sing! Lots of sports action scenes, which are fairly well done for the time. A good amount of genuine humor, too. Chaney looks absolutely great. A fine cast, too, with Nugent, Carlisle, Lake and Holloway all helping the picture move along at a brisk pace. Definitely recommended. 16mm.
