'Torrid Zone Billed
At Bijou This Week

"Torrid Zone" as its title in
dicates, has its setting south OF
the border, down below Mexico,
way. Pat O'Brien is the big boss
for the fruit company that owns
most of Puerto Aguilar, which also
makes him the virtual boss OF the
whole territory. He and his ace
plantation manager, p played by
|Cagney, have a standing feud, and
are constantly striving to outsmart
each other. Ann Sheridan, as an
American torch singer trying to
earn a slightly dishonest living in
the tropics by cheating the natives
at cards after wowing them with
her singing, helps the feud along.
O'Brien has her arrested and is
trying to have her shipped back to
the States, and Cagney inadver-
tently helps her to escape from
her captors. She responds by fall
ing in love with him, but he is far
from receptive to her until cir
cumstances give her the chance
to prove that she's something more
than just a gorgeous and unscrup-
ulous show girl.

gion's parachute troops, he clearly
shows himself to be one of the ro-
mantle finds of the season. Lorna
Grey, as Helene, in love with Paul
but the fiance of his best friend
and fellow officer, takes full ad-
vantage of a difficult role.

SKY MURDER'
WILL SHOW HERE
Technical Skill Made Thrilling
Picture At Royal
Possible

Thrills of the screen and tense
moments of excitement r much
more than the clever idea of a
playwright translated into action
by an actor. They involve engineer
ing skill, careful calculation and
technical tasks that the general
public, watching in the theatre,
never dreams of.
When Walter Pidgeon climbed
along the wing of a speeding air
plane into the cabin and got the
plane under control, saving half a
dozen lives in "Sky Murder" this
is what happened:
The speed of the plane was frs
carefully calculated by engineers,
and motor set to that speed. The
scene was timed and adjusted tc
exact footage. Had it lasted toe
long it would have dulled the thrill
Had it been flashed on the screen
too quickly the audience would moi
have had time to realize It's full
meaning.
The same care was used fol
every thrill in "Sky Murder" third
of the popular Nick Carter adven
lures, coming tomorrow to the Roy
al Theatre. Pidgeon fights on tor
of a careenin3 truck to save Donald
Meek and Joyce Compton in an.
other thrill. The camera and micro.
phone had to follow on a special
at exav ETAOI ETAO T ETAC
truck, with notwithstanding springs
at exactly the same speed, no mat
ter how the first truck varied.

Sousa Bridge Station
Is Termed UnsiqhtIy

A complaint from the Southeast
BusinesSmen'S. Association labelling
the transfer station being erected at
the new John Phillip Sousa Bridge
as an "eye-sore" was in the hands
of the Fine Arts Commission today.
According 10 existing law, this
ernment-owned property" the re-
port stated. which location was
acquired without cost to the transit
company but the expense of the
construction of the structure is being
borne by the Capital Transit Co.
THE act authorizing the con-
struction provided further. that no
such building could be erected with
out the approval of the Fine Arts
Commission. Without conferring
with any representative of the civic
or business organizations of South
east, your commission approved the
erection Of structure which is un-
slightly and unreasonable.
I'm view of the cost and the beauty
of the new John Phillip Sousa
Bridge, the people of this COM
munity, both citizens and business
men feel that the building will be
nothing but an eye-sore to those who
use the new John Phillip Sousa
Bridge. This association strenuously
urges that some action be taken i'm
mediately to rectify this mistake of
permitting a ridiculous. inadequate
and unsightly structure to be con-
structed at ridiculously low cost at
the entrance to the beautiful new
bridge"
