Vigil In The Night
Will Show At Biiou

"Vigil in the Night" at the Bijou
theatre Thursday is a double
triumph. 1t triumphs in the intensity
with which producer-director George
Stevens has presented its powerful
drama. And again in the perform
ance of Carole Lombard, which is
beautiful, vital and vividly thrilling.
AS seen in RKO Radios "Vigil in
the Night, Miss Lombard has a
dramatic role that plumbs the depths
of her emotional powers, which are
here revealed as magnificent. She
plays with sympathy, understand
ing and inspiration the nurse whose
desire to serve is so single-purpos-
ed and answering that it carries
her fearlessly over all obstacles

With its romantic, picturesque
background, 'New Noon provides
ideal screen material for the two
stars. Opening on board ship, the
story moves to early New Orleans
during Mardi Gras season. From
New Orleans the action G n
moves to sea where an exciting
battle between two ships, the New
Moon and the Lady Anne, takes
place. More thrilling sea action
occurs when the New Moon S
caught in a storm, buffeted and
sunk. The remainder of the action
confines itself to a desert island
where Eddy, as the leader of the
group, sets up a republic. OF par
ticular interest is the '"Trouble
Tree" sequence of the production.
This tree, a withered magnolia
growing on the estate inherited by
Jeanette Macdonald in the film,
serves as the background for the
song, ''Lover Come Back to Me-"
and about it is associated legend
that all those who have troubles
may release themselves by touch.
