Other officers intervened.
 Starring Picture
 The preview was of "StG Dal- las" 6 Stanwyck starring ure. To avoid recognition Barbara had worn an old hat pulled down over her eyes. At Taylor's behest, she was hanging on to his coattails as he forced passage through nearly 2,000 fans in front of the theater.
