Dix Plays Convict
In Capitol Picture

Just as the western continent is
waking up to the startling abuses that
have been revealed in the convict road
labor system of this country, Richard
Dix brings to the talking screen a
role that is sensational and timely.
With background Of realism based
upon convict camp travail, Dix plays
the role Of fortnight prisoner who
revolts at the cruelties practised upon
his fellow convictS under the guise of
discipline. In "Hell's Highway" RKO-
Radio picture, Dix is convict of the
hard-boiled type so far as his Of
lenses against society are concerned,
but is soft-hearted, sympathetic
character toward his fellow sufferers
in the camp. Particularly outstand-
ing are the sacrifices he makes for
his younger brother (Tom Brown
who Is thrown into the camp also as
q prisoner. This situation rises above
the startling realism of the picture.
How Dix preserves the romance ap-
parently hopeless of the younger
brother with his sweetheart (RocheIe
Hudson) at the price Of his own doom
makes heart touching climax.
Dix in Fine Form
The virile hero role played by Rich
ard Dix Is different from any he has
had before, yet 1t is one that pro-
vides unusual scope for his powers,
ana be ID said to play 1t with q tense
sincerity likely to bring him new

and Saturday.
