DRAMATIC HIT AT
 COLISEUM THEATRE
 WILL END TONIGHT

Dark Victory" the Warner Bros picture which ends at the Coli scum Theater this evening, pre- sents Bette Davis as the ill-starTed heroine of one of the tendercst one of the most poignantly beauti- ful romances ever unfolded upon the screen.
 It is a story of great love and dauntless courage, both pitte q against an implacable fate, and it offers the brilliant Miss Davis what she herself considers the greatest role of her very inpres- sive career.
 While the character portrayed by Miss Davis might still dominate the narrative even if played by a lesser actress than the matchless Bette-so compelling is the role the production is4by no means a one- woman tour de force It has a supporting cast that is fully worthy of it's gifted star, and the brilliance of her performance serves to inspire them all to superla- tive pitch of excellence.
