POLLS

With Louis Hayward and Joan
Bennett playing the top roles, the
dramatic hit, "The Man in the Iron
Mask had its premiere opening at
the Loew-Poli theater yesterday,
starting a four day run. The picture
unfolds q thrilling and exciting tale
of the 18th century romance and adj
venture In an era when extra
vageances and excuses ruled the
court Of Frsrce. The central theme
Of the story revolves around King
Louis XIV and his twin brother,
Philippe, who at his birth was
whisked away to the province of
Gascony and brought up secretly as
a commoner under the guidance of
the famous Musketeers.
Warren Williams, Joseph Schild-
kraut, Alan Hale, Miles Mander,
Bert Roach, Walter Kingsford, Mar
ian Martin and Montagu Love, fea-
tured IN support of the stars, por-
tray the parade Of characters in
this fast-moving, tensely pitched
drama. Warren Williams plays the
swashbuckling, beloved role of D'Ar-
tagnan, with Alan Hale and Miles
Mander impersonating the other
two musketeers in the trio devoted
to PHILIPPE.
Hayward plays the dual roles Of
King Louis and Philippe, while
Joan Bennett appears as the lovely
Maria Theresa of Spain, imported
to marry the cruel and sadistic mon.
arch and to thus preserve the peace
OF Europe. AS King Louis, Hayward
is seen as harsh and vain, cruelty
taxing his subjects until they are
on the brink of starvation anc
ruin. AS Philippe, he is seen as 6
brave and understanding son o.
France, wishing for the honor ane
welfare of his country. The story
reaches a smash climax when Loui
realizes that Philippe is his twin
brother. Louis fears that event
may lead to reinforcement and de-
cides he must do away with such
possibility. He takes the most sin
lister method at hand-the drea,
iron mask. Philippe is encased II
this monstrous contraption an,
condemned to life imprisonment il
the Bastille. But the Musketeers
who also know the secret refuse Il
see Philippe die In this horribl
way. How they outwit Louis an,
his ministers concludes the story
which is based on the famous move
by Alexander Dumas.
The second smash hit on the pro
gram brings you a thrilling tale O
efforts to smuggle contraband good.
Struggled Cargo" In the lead
are Rochelle Hudson and Barr
Mackay.

They all laughed. They wanted
to laugh and it came easily. Carma
gave Randy a carefully prepared
smile. He smiled feetingly and
returned his gaze to Dolly's sweet
profile. She looked at him, her
eyes trusting and childish. Invol-
unfairly, he leaned toward her.
He said something and her dimples
f1ickered.
Dan Numbered, May I have
your attention."
All eyes turned back to him.

caught Marian,s and held them.
