ROYAL TO SHOW
VAN DINE MOVIE

Surprise mystery thrillers have
long been movie favorites. And when
it's an S. S.. Van Dine yarn, that
means tops in this type of story.
The artistry of Van Dine has been
recognized since he first conjured
the whimsical, complex, super-de.
tectiVe Philo Vance. And his spe-
cial technique of building clue on
clue through to the denouement is
as entertaining as the fictional
Vance himself.
To date there have been a num-
Der of Philo Vances in pictures.
First vas William Powell, then War
rem William, Basil Rathbone and
Edmund Lowe. Now comes a new
Philo from Hollywood in the per-
son of James Stephenson. The film,
Calling Philo Vance," which opens
at the Royal theatre Wednesday,
stars the British actor with Margot
Stevenson, promising young actress
Warmers imported from Broadway
Also cast are such talented featured
players as Henry O'Neill, Edward
Brophy, Shelia Bromley and Ralph
Forbes.
The clever plot, though %fictional,
is one that might have been taken
from current newspaper headlines.
1t involves the intrigue and adven.
ture in international espionage, re-
volving around an airplane manufac-
turer whose super-bomber is covet-
ed by three nations.
Assigned to the case by the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation, Philo
Vance learns of the manufacturers
plans to sell his designs to another
nation. This has been forbidden by
the United States. Meanwhile, the
magnate is murdered.
Philo didn't know what he was
walking into, but now he finds a
case on his hands. The fast-moving
action soon brings to light six sus-
poets. The beautiful niece hated her
selfish uncle. The Oriental maid is
an enemy agent. The butler is a
spy for another country. In the ad-
joining apartment house ire the
manufacturers sweetheart and two
more foreign agents.
Added attractions include scenes
from the Louis-Godoy fight and a

O'BRIEN PICTURE
SHOWS AT ROYAL
The Marshal Of Mesa City
Begins Showing Here
On Friday

Dealing in exciting and suspense
full fashion with the daring exploits
of a young peace officers efforts
to bring law and order to a frontier
town under the dominant rule of ar
utlaw sheriff, 1.-THE Marshal of Mesa
City" presents George O'Brien in 6
dramatic and action-packed film
which opens at the Royal theatre
Friday.
The story IS laid in Arizona Of
the SOS and is a saga of the cou-
rageous federal marshals who end.
ed the riotous and bloody rule Of
frontier d~esperadoes whose sneering
disregard for law was told with roar
ing siX-shooters.
There is gunplay in the picture
and action galore, as was the case
during the period upon which the
production was based, but thrills de.
pend less upon shooting than upon
suspense and twists of plot.
O'Brien, as a retired marshal, is
enroute to his ranch in the south
eastern part of the state. He visits
the small frontier community of Mesa
City, and is pressed into service as
marshal when the towns marshal
is killed by an outlaw.
Single handed he undertakes tc
purge the town. After his first VIC
tory with the enemy, the town raj
lies to O'Brien's support. Even a
notorious killer helps him illustrate
the crooked sheriff's efforts to halt
the cleanup, and O'Brien appoints
him a deputy marshal.
A young and attractive school
teacher is involved in the scheme
of things, which further heightens
