vile.
AS an action feature, this picture
Is IN a distinct class. 1t gets off at
a fast clip and a~lJernates between
laughs and dramatic punches right
up 70 a thrilling climax. Scenically,
the picture Is superb-being sill
houetted against the colorful back
ground OF Texas ranch life.
The picture opens dramatically
when Matt Taylor, a capitalist kills
Clayton, a homeSteader, and burns
his home. Helen, Clayton's daughter,
driven to desperation by this un-
warranted act Of cruelty, becomes an
outlaw. and, with the aid Of half a
dozen loyal cowboys, leads Taylor a
merry chase. When Helen is accused
Of numbering Ed Lanning. Taylor's
nght-hand man. Jim Logan, Of the
Texas Rangers, is put on the case
by his chief. Taylor meets the girl
and is convinced Of her innocence,
but Is unable TO prove 1t. He Strug-
giles between his growing affection
for her and his loyalty to the Texas
Rangers. Eventually Logan learns
that the girl Is innocent Of the crime
of which she is accused and he saves
her.
Bucks riding in this picture is
magnificent. Carmelita Gerathy
presents a spirited portrayal.

Comedy Role Welcome
To Charles Ldughton,
Tired of Heavy Roles

Carries Laughton, eminent English
actor, who forged TO the forefront
Of stage and screen stars with a
long series Of characterizationS OF
horrifying and sinister characters,
finally wins the opportunity to por-
tray a thoroughly lovable person in
the title role Of Paramount's Rug
giles of Red Cap" showing Friday
and Saturday at your Capitol,
Brownsville.
Two more years Of what I've been
through" says Laughton, land ]

athic ward"
For years, automatically speak

children. Beginning with pictures
such as The Devil and the Deep"
and The Island Of Lost Souls"
Laughton has poisoned. plotted and
beheaded his way until he reached
the climax Of his villainous person

tistic Nero in Sign Of the Cross"
Won Academy Award
Even when he played a father as
In The BarrettS OF Wimpole
Street." he was not permitted TO act
the indulgent parents. but rather the
cruel. tyrannical and overbearing
old man who drove his daughters
out OF his house.
His Characterization in The Pri-
vate Life of Henry VIII" replete
with humor though it was. did not
make the Bluebeard Of England a
sympathetic character. Laughton's
artistic integrity and his knowledge
cf character prevented that and in
cidentally won him the Motion Pic
ture Academy award for that role.
There Is a certain tempetation in
playing parts such as the ones ]
nave played in the past" says
Laughton. Il suppose ii is because
there is something bizarre about the
characters which gives the actor
latitude and a chance for our ina
ginative reconstruction OF their per-
Sonalities."
