Invisible Stripes Is Defense
Of Men Who Want
To Come Back

Ex-convicts fed up with prison
life and eager to walk the straight
and narrow have found a defend
ing voice on the motion picture
screen.
The voice is George Rats which
through his Characterization as E
paroled convict who strives to be
come a worthy citizen, challenges
the righteousness of all those re-
form agencies that clamor for the
abolition of the prison parole sys-
tenn.
The picture is invisible Stripes
which opens Monday at the Roya.
theatre. Its author is Lewis p.
Lawes, who champions the rights
of one-time-losers to return to good
citizenship after learning their les
sons behind prison walls.
The producing studio is Warner
Bros, which many times in the past
has dared to plead the cause of
under-dog minorities and emerges
victorious from beneath threaten
ing clouds of criticisms with smash
hits.
Although about prison people, Ex-
ecutive Producer Hal B. Wallis en-
phasizes that Invisible Stripes" is
not a prison picture. 1t is the story
of two convicts, one bad and one
good, who are thrust back upon
society with their prison records
hanging over their heads.
The good one, George Raft, leaves
Sing Sing with the encouraging en-
comiums of the friendly warden in
spring him to life honor
ably. The bad one, Humphrey Bo-
CART, is a hardened type. He SCOTS
at the warden's advice which he has
heard many times before.
Raft, the paroled convict, finds it
impossible to go straight because of
the prison stigma that hangs over
him. He not only loses his girl, who
shudders at the thought of becom-
ing an eX-convict's wife, but he also
loses five jobs between the first and
the last reels when his record
catches up with him.
Meanwhile. the hardened eXcon
returns to his former haunts and
shady associates. He knows he will
some day return to the big house
but, until then, he is in clover.
The futility of going straight be-
cause of the prison brand eventu-
ally leads Raft, the paroled convict,
back into crime. His motive is to
acquire funds to prevent his young
er brother, William Holden, from
trading the same criminal path. Also,
to make it possible for the younger
brother to marry his sweetheart,
Jane Bryan.
Also on the program are the lat
est news and a novelty.

ROYAL TO SHOW
COLOR PICTURE
The Gentleman From Ari.
zona' Will Open Here
On Friday

Executive heads at Monogram
proved to Hollywood moguls that it
was possible. and pleasantly so, to
make a feature film outside of the
portals of the cinema capital. The
result was 1.-THE Gentleman From
Arizona" photographed in realistic
color and scheduled to open Fri
day at the Royal theatre with an
all-star cast.
The production was made entirely
in and around Phoenix, Arizona,
which is, incidentally, the first time
Arizona hal ever played host to a
motion picture company. Another
noteworthy item regarding the film
is that there are no interior scenes,
all exterior. Producer-director Earl
Haley casually remarked regarding
this unusual action that it was a
pity to waste such beautiful seem
cry. particularly when the picture
was being made in color. Conse-
quently, writer's concentrated on
keeping the feature and all action
on the outside.
Two new names in the entertain
ment world also make their movie
debut in 1.-The Gentleman From Ari-
IONA" They are 10-year-old Ruth
Reece and Doc ParGee. Ruth is a
featured radio vocalist over Ari-
IONA radio station kOY. She sings
in four different languages, looks
like an Indian girl but is really a
full -blooded Irish colleen. She sings
several numbers in the picture in

Pardee is regarded as n of the
best horse trainers in the west. He
is also a leading figure around all
of the well-known rodeo shows in
the country, possessing the reputa-
ton of being the fastest talking an
nouncer in the profession.
The feature also marks the cine
ma debut of Rex, Jr., son of the
famous horse star who has played
in more than 100 pictures. Rex, Jr.,
works through the motions Of his
trainers hands. This is necessary
so that the sound won't pick up any
extraneous dialogue.
The cast is topped by j. Farrell
Macdonald, veteran stage a n d
screen star who admits he has play
ed in SO many films that he's lost

the ninety-odd minutes of pure ano
scintillating entertainment which
will open at the Carolina theatre

longs to Lessen, an up-and-comlng
director who, we predict, will be
sitting among h e De Miles
Capras and Lubitsches before t h e

1t was Lessen, you will recall, who
gave us Swing High, Swing Low,
ARTISTS and Models Abroad n
Midnight, all famous, among other
things, for the touch we thought
generally reserved for Lubitsch.
Well, in "Remember the Night"
Lessen not only proves himself an
adept at that famous touch himself
but a deft used of a whole series of
o el directorial tricks which put
him in a class by himself.
Remember the Night" concerns
itself mainly with a feminine crook

&C herself - whom a rising young
district attorney aims to put in jail

tive from justice himself; and-he
falls in love with the girl he must
send to Jail and actually has to
make a speech to try to convince
her to jump the bail he put up for
her!
It's all grand fun, with Miss
Stanwyck playing the role of the
lady larcenist and MacMurray por-
traying the rising young d. a., with
both of them turning in the best
Years.
The adjournment is granted. Then
the Yule spirit seeps into the district
attorney and he goes bail for the
lady so that she may enjoy the holi-
days outside of Jail. AS a result he
finds himself with her on his hands
for the whole week between Christ
mas and New Years and the results
emanating from this setup go to
make up as hilarious and rib-tick-
ling a series Of situations as you'll
ever see on the silver screen.
For instance, he is forced to take
his charge on a three-state junket

Just as worthy Of mention for

All in all, Remember the Night"

hurry. It's a picture which belongs
