Now personally your . repoa•ter isn't a boy to bite his flngeina.ils down to the elbow over a western movie but I must admit that "Texas Manhunt" kept me on the .edge of my seat from start to finish. Texas Mau Hunt has everything In the way of top-notch euterta`nment musical thrills and laughs :unci a story to keep you keyed up all the way through. Art Davis and Bill (Cowboy Rambler) Boyd handle songs and six shooters with equal versitility to make "TEXAS. iT 1.N- IIP.NT" a picture to appear to the entire family. 'When we'd seen thio.. thrill°^ of the wildwest we figured no iuore could be asked, but, before we could get out of the theatre and tumble into the nearest snow bank up popped still another ferture.
