GRIPPING CRIME
 TALE WILL OPEN
 Al 10TH CENTURY
Ambush" Features Gladys Swarihout and Llyod
 Nolan in Leads

Paramount's offering at the 20th Century tonight and for Saturday is a tight, compact melodrama that bowls along at breakneck speed and is guaranteed. to make the toughest thriller addict's heart skip beat or two. Under the title of Ambush" it co-stars Gladys Swarthout and Lloyd Nolan.
 The narrative deals with the swift pil,ng up of events in the life of a little stenographer who is trapped by bank bandits. hunted by the police as an accomplice, and who turr up on the right side of the law and of the man she has come to love through all of this excite ment
 A quartet of ultra modern bank robbers. under the direction of a willy and amazingly villainous Er- rest 1ruex, besiege a California bank with the protection of the smoke screen. Fleeing the crime, they leave behind the truck on which Miss Swarthout's brother worked, indicating to the little bank stonographer that her brother is involved in the robbery.
 When Miss Swarthout goes to her brothers aid she is imprisoned ! by the gang, forced to bring Lloyd Nolan, a truck driver to their aid. At guns point the gang forces No- Ian to convert his beer truck into q e-out for them. And soon a i heart pounding chase is on with the marked truck racing across state and the police in hot pur- suit.
 ! One member of the gang dies by gunfi,c, two others are killed in a ! spectacular airplane crash and Miss Swarthout and Nolan fight to stay alive and to cherish their newly l found love. The melodrama races to its appropriate close when Nolan leads officers to the hide-out by clever ruse, and the desperate Truex surrenders after a thrilling battle.

RULES
 AGAINST OFFICE,
 INDIAN AFFAIRS

Concluding the Office of Indian Affairs had no authority over a loan between the Craig Indian As sociation and Herbert George un- der terms of the Indian Reorgani- zation Act, Judge George Alexan- der in Ketchikan on November 8 directed the jury to bring a yer dict of not guilty to grand lar ceny charges
 The directed verdict sustained a motion by w. c. Stump, defense attorney, that P. J. Fitzsimmons Office of Indian Affairs credit agent, had no authority to release the seiner Marie from the defen- dant's possession, since the loan was by the Craig corporation rather than between George and the gov ernment.
 Judge Alexander described it as "one of the most unusual cases have ever seen"
 It would be up to the corpora tion to take over the property in- volved, rather than the govern ment he said, although the cor poration obtained $30,000 in capi- tai from the government. He com pared the case to a company's fin ancing a loaning company for home building and trying to collect from the home borrowers.

EXCELLENT TWO
 BILL FEATURE N
 NOW AT CAPITOL
Rio Is sDramafil Triumph =" Jeepers Creepers"
 Is Second Picture

Although the word glamour IS growing a bit threadbare through constant usage in Hollywood, It will have to do until better word is coined. Meanwhile, glamour is said to describe Universals Rio opening tonight on a double bill attraction at the Capitol Theatre.
 Rio" is declared to be glamor- rus right from the start. The story oegins in Paris with Basil Rath- bone appearing as a prince Of i'm ance whose false empire Is threat cning to crash about his ears. He still retains fine taste in pearls, wine and women. Sigrid Gurie IS the woman Her costumes were de- signed by Madame Pola, famous Paris couturier.
 From Paris the action of the story moves to Rio de Janeiro, the gayest city in South America, re- plete with senoritas, senors, gau- chos and rhumba orchestras. And while Rathbone is eating his heart out in a jungle prison camp, Miss Gurie meets and falls in love with Robert Cummings.
 Universal is convinced that it has pair of stars is Miss Gurie and Robert Cummings, two com paratively new faces on the screen. Cummings turned in a knockout performance with Deanna Durbin in Three Smart Girls Grow Up"
 Down to earth drama and clean homespun comedy are expertly woven into Republics .Jeepers Creepers, which is the second fea- ture to be viewed at the Capitol theatre.
 "Jeepers Creepers" is the tale of simple home-loving hillbillies con- tent with the more ordinary things in life. Into their happy haven comes an interruptions financier who needs their coal-bearing lands to end a coal strike.
 Heart break and thrills follow as the citizens of the hills seek to protect their rights fairly, until t is necessary to take the law into their own hands.
