Critics Call "Driven" Hit of the Decade Accorded unstinted praise by cinema critics noted for their failure to enthuse greatly over most feature productions, "Driven" has justified to the fullest measure the faith that Carl Leammle, president of the Universal Pictures Corporation had in it when he broke a precedent of six years' standing and purchased a production made outside of Universal City. In an epic of life in the Blue Ridge Mountains, a cross-section of a phase of American life that one knows exists, but scarcely can imagine. It is the story of a mother who forgets everything, even family and tribal loyalty, and sells out her husband and three sons to insure happiness for one human being in the brood—a timid, shy lad, who longs for the better things of life and who by some freak of fate, was born into this strange family. "Driven" opens an engagement of 3 days at the United theater tonight. Manager Murray is confident that it will meet with the same success here as it has in other cities where it has been shown. EXTEND PAYING CONTRACT An extension of 60 days was given today by supervisors to Wells & Breasler, contractors, on a mile of highway near San Juan Capistrano.
