I no Tyrone Power in "Tho Planter" which opened last night at the Orph eum certainly brings a photodramatic masterpiece 'to Ogden. His portrayal of the 'enigmatic Mexican planter is superb and the picturization of the novel by Herman Whitaker is a truth ful and elaborate as first class motion picture managing can produce. Some of the scenes are remarkable for their beauty and interest Old Mexico with her sleeping glory, her petty revolu tions, has lost grandeur of scenic won der, and her seething racial problems lend a tinge to tho photoplay which seldom has been experienced by Og den people, rhotodraraas with Mexi co truthfully portrayed are rather scarce.
