THRILLS AND FUN IN
HISTORIC MOVIE

Action, drama, romance, comedy and
melody have been skillfully worked in
to magnificent screen achievement in
King Vidor's historic picture, The
Texas Rangers which opens at the
Kootenai Theatre Sunday and Monday.
Presented by a cast headed by Fred
MacMurray and the wise cracking Jack
Oakie, the film lifts a page from the
history Of the two-gun organization
which made Texas safe for prisoners,
and combines it with love story UNI
usual in its charm.
Jean Parker, young star who cap
tured the movie public with her work
in Little Women and "Sequoia,' holds
the feminine lead role as the daughter
of commander of the Ranger unit
which MacMurray and Oakie join.
Though almost Incidental to the sweep
ing theme of the plot, her romance with
MacMurray is presented knowingly and
sincerely
The plot Of "The Texas Rangers re-
wolves about the adventures of Mac
Murray and Oakie after they have
Joined the early Texas organization of
peace officers and are thrown into OPP
position with their friend of former
outlaw days, Nolan.

RICHARD DIX STARRED
In STIRRING AIR DRAMA

The test pilots, unsung heroes OF
aviation, are held up for well-deserv-
ing pats on the back and recognition OF
their valorous deeds in film that IS
scheduled to open today at the Kootenai
Theatre. 1t is Columbia's roaring
drama, Devils Squadron" and it stars
the square-jawed Richard Dix.
Dick Grace, one of the worlds FORE
most aviators, who has come into the
limelight for his hazardous stunting and
crashing of planes for the movies,
wrote the story. Grace, test pilot him
self, is in an ideal position to appreci-
ate the men who are the first to fly
new planes, who try them out SO that
if they have any structural defects
the flying daredevils will be the first
to come crashing to earth in them.
Test pilots do not take planes up for
a gentle, level ride and then land easily.
1t is necessary for them to put the
planes through the most difficult death
defying stunts-tail spins, rolls, power
dives, ets.-so that every part of the
plane is tested to the utmost.
According to the story, Dix and No
Ian, two test pilots, fall in love with
Miss Morley. Dix, because of an un-
just stigma attached to his name and
because he refuses to hurt Nolan, SUI
perintendent of the airport, who gave
Dix his chance to make good again,
is unable to tell Miss Morley that he
loves her. But close association with
death amid flaming planes and strained
nerves, changes much, and the story
goes on from its premise to dramatic
climax.
