Trails that wander and writhe and
bend—
Mighty trails , . . take them end to
end.
• * 4
Old trails made by conquistadores,
Tiails to the far Pacific shores;
Gouged by the tires of the pioneers,
Cut by the hooves of the longhorn
steers;
Devious trails where Comanches fled
On moonlit nights when their hands
were red;
Deep-cut trails through the gramma
grass
Where the buffalo herds took a year
to pass;
Trails on the sands where the buc-
caneers
Hid their spoils in the daring years;
Trails to the North where the cattle
bawled,
\A here the cowman bluffed and the
gambler called;
Trails that saw brands on a heifer’s
hide
Still warm as the brander gasped and
died;
Trails that knew the cow-puncher’3
tune
And the coyote’s call to the thin grey
moon;
Trails to the West where Kit Carson
told
Of mountains laden with yellow gold;
Where long lean men spurred down
the way
To the red saloons of Sante Fe;
West to the snowcaps through sand
and mud— *
A trail of battle ... a trail of blood;
Where outlaws rustled and bandits
killed
And the man who lived kept his right
hand filled;
Down this grim trail tall wagons
creaked
And tragiT ., died if their canteens
leaked;
Here huek.kinned couts with tobae-
coed lips
Slept by their fire of buffalo chips;
And the bull whacker spat and cocked
his eye
As the Pony Express went riding by;
Trails to the hills where the Indian
fires
Told of the passing of their sires;
Winding trails 'o the nighty springs
Who e clear cold water forever sings;
Trails, criss crossing, cutting deep
Where Texan heroes ate at sleep;
Long trails writhing . . . trails that
bend—
Mighty traiL . . . take them end to

ALL-COLOR MOVIE IS CURRENT
FILM; HOPALONG FOR MON-
DAY AND TUESDAY.
The first all-color picture of the
outdoors, “The Trail of the Lonesome
I Pint”, shows tonight and Saturday at
the Colonial Theatre. Sylvia Sidney,
Fred MacMurray and Henry Fonda
are starred. Natural color and natu-
^ ral backgrounds are used exclusively
! in this picturization of the John Fox,
Jr., novel. It is a story of “feuding”
in the Cumberland Mountains, where]
famih* battles family for reasons,
'long since forgotten. MacMurray is
a young engineer who is assigned to j
I build a railway through the hills. Miss
| Sidney and Fonda are members of the
same clan, and Fonda is in love with
| the girl. She is fascinated by the
j stranger from the outside world, and
Fonda’s jealousy is aroused. He sets
I out to “get” MacMurray—but simul-
taneously the rival clan sets out to
“get’ him. A battle royal ensues
I when they all get together, bringing
[the film to a stirring climax.
