"Jesse James" Makes a Thrilling Picture
With Tyrone Power Henry Fonda

Following many weeks of tub
humping by the ballyhoo bri-
gade, Jesse James" arrived yes
terday at Loew's Palace to
clearly demonstrate by the high
quality of its entertainment
that, if anything, its advance
hoorah was largely understate-
ment.
Producer Daryl Zanuck has
shot the works in his saga of
Americas own Robin Hood.
Starting with a name cast
headed by Tyrone Power, he
has taken a stirring story,
filmed it in gorgeous natural
colors, provided it with an
authentic local background and
vested it with one of the finest
production fabrics ever given a
Hollywood product.
Some fact, some fiction, some
history and some imagination,
"Jesse James" is the story of
Americas most glamorouS out
law.
FULL OF EXCITEMENT
It tells of a man who lived
dangerously, who loved greatly,
who was worshiped by his wife
and friends, but who outraged
every friendship. 1t tells how
the railroad robbed Jesse James
of his land and killed his
mother. How he swore ven
geance. How he ravaged the Mid
west only to die by the hand Of
one of his gang.
= It is a stirring story. High
lights are the sequence in which
his brother delivers Jesse from
the soldier-guarded jail, the
sequence wherein his son is
born, his escape from an al
most foolproof ambush, his
farewell to his wife and finally
his mock-tragic death, brought
down from behind.

Mystery Film
For Keith's

Alfred Hitchcock's, "The Lady
Vanishes," with Margaret Lock
wood, Michael Redgrave, Dame
May Whitty and Paul Lukas
and which opens at RKO
Keith's on Saturday, is an excit-
ing and suspenseful mystery.
The Lady Vanishes" is based
on the modern legend, made
famous by Alexander Woollcott,
about the woman who disap-
peared from her room in a Paris
hotel. If you are familiar with
the legend, you may have some
notion Of how Hitchcock reveled
in the making of the picture.
Here were all the elements that
appealed to him-the respect
able villains, the dangerous vic
tins, the mystery and the para
dox - all ready to be put
through the camera. He has
thrown in other elements of his
own-the chase, the fearful SuS-
pense, the spies and counter
spies.
The supporting cast Of '"The
Lady VaniSheS," includes among
others, Emile Boreo, Linden
TraverS, Google Withers, Mary
Glare, Naunton wayne and
Basil Radford.
Another Walt Disney's "Mer-
babies" is an extra added at

thumbs up. Meaning in terms
of the Pensacola and San Diego
bases for naval aviation, it
passes with flying colors.
Brent is a licensed pilot, so
his heart was in this picture, as
we'll as his handsome features.
Besides being an absorbing piece
of celluloid entertainment,
wings of the Navy" should
serve to swerve public opinion
around to shouting long and
loud for adequate air defenses.

The training of aviators to
handle the latest type of water
and land planes and the develop.

with an appealing romance.

it or not, makes a sensitive and

about it, bring the conversation
around to the stars latest pic

In which he appears with Bette

thinks that Congress might we'll
take into consideration the
plight of the movie stars in the

He thinks a movie stars pro-
feSsional life is short at the
most, that it is even shorter on

ladder, that there ought to be
some scientific adjustment of
tax assessments which would
take in the factor of human de-
probation, in a business where
you wear out quickly.
