All the thrills and suspense Of a
Paris blackout await you on the
Bijou theatre screen in Charlie
Chan in City Of Darkness" the
exciting new goth Century = Fox
melodrama, which comes to the

New Joan Bennett Film
Opens Here On Monday
Hopalong Cassidy Film
Will Show At Biiou

Notable for action and for 70.
nance, the newest and the best
of the long line of "Hopalong
Cassidy" films comes next Friday
to the Royal theatre with William
Boyd as that ace among outdoor
heroes. 'Hopalong Cassidy" Russell
Hayden, a Lucky, his helper in
many a scrape, and a fine support
ing cast which includes such out
door favorites as Marjorie Ram
beau, Bernadene Hayes, Earl Hold
gins and Britt wood.
The action gets under way when
Boyd is called in to uncover the
gang Of outlaws who have stolen
the paymaster in the bargain.
Using a tried and true technique.
Boyd makes no show Of being the
marshal. Instead, he casts his lot
with a medicine show, gets his
first hint as the outlaws when a
few of them break up the first per.
Torrance of the show. He discovers
that a local character, "Ma Bur-
ton," is the brains behind the gang,
Boyd devises plans to trap her, and
his first move is to tell her that he
is an outlaw.
With the development Of events,
Boyd arranges for the outlaws to
steal $15,O 900 in silver bullion from
the mine. OF course, his plans are
disrupted, and it is only after a
gun fight and a thrilling chase that
the picture approaches a smashing
climax.
