Action from start to finish marks
the new saga of frontier America,
when the Daltons Rode" which
opened its four day engagement at
the air conditioned Warner Bros.
State theater this afternoon with
Randolph Scott and Kay Francis in
the leading roles.
The Dalton gang, last great out
law band of the old west comes
spectacularly to life in this screen
version Of the book Of the same
name by Emmett Dalton and Jack
Jungmeyer, Jr. The mingling of
excitement and comedy makes it
particularly satisfying entertain
ment.
Heading the cast is the versatile
Randolph Scott In an excellent
portrayal of the frontier lawyer who
befriends the embattled Dalton boys
No less outstanding Is the perform
ance of Kay Francis in her first
outdoor" role as the winsome tele-
graph operator of Coffeyville, Kan,
center of the Dalton gangs exploits.
The Dalton boys themselves, whose
careers from ranch men to desper-
ADDE'S are traced in che picture,
are expertly delineated by Brian
Donlevy, Broderick Crawford Stuart
Erwin and Frank Albertson. Andy
Devine in the, role of the Dalton's
girl-chasing ranch hand, also gives
an impressive performance. George
Bancroft Is effective as the rich
man Of Coffeyville. One Of the
surprises is the intensely dramatic
portrayal Of Ma Dalton by Mary
Gordon. Fine supporting work Is
done by Quen Ramsey, Harvey Ste
phens, Edgar Deering and others.
The climax OF the film Is the
celebrated raid on Coffeyville in
1892, when the outlaws went to
their destruction attempting the old
vests only double bank robbery.
And for your further enjoyment

STRAND

: A molten picture as timely as to-
morrow's headlines flashed across
the screen at the popular Warner
Bros. Strand theater this afternoon
when '@The Mortal Storm" opened
its four day engagement with Mar
garet Sullivan, James Stewart,
Frank Morgan and Robert Young in
the leading roles.
Characterized by brilliant per-
formances upon the part Of an out
standing cast, this Aim Is designed
to make audiences think. In brief,
it tells the story of a family, a
happy family, which suddenly finds
itself beaten, divided against itself
and helpless against regime OF
terror which sweeps down upon it.
Margaret Sullivan, who may al
ways be depended upon for a sterl-
ing performance, surpasses anything
she has done previously as the hap
less heroine, Freya Roth. From
start to finish she lives the life of
the girl she portrays with sympathy
and feeling.
The same rule applied to James
Stewart In his role of Martin Brett
ner. Stewards sympathetic han
ding of an unusual type of charac-
ter puts him in line for an acting
award.
The surprise Of the piece. how
ever, comes in the person of Robert
Young who, for the first time in his
screen career, essays the role Of
villain. It is credit to this young
mans acting to state that his char
acterization is believable, even like
able, in spite of the things he Is
forced to do.
Adding even more TO this produc-
ton Is the work Of Frank Morgan
who Is again at his best. Added
to these fiawless performances are
such players as Robert Stack, Bonita
Granville, Irene Rich, and Maria
Ouspensakaya.

really know. the man she loves?

tons posed in this vital drama play
ed by Joan Bennett, Francis
Lederer, Lloyd Nolan and Anna
Stem now showing at Loew's Poll

The amazing experiences Of a

THE FLAME
BY THE MAN IN rzH TOWER
Good evening.

Death steals too many sparks away
From genius brilliant crown,
To tarnish with his heavy clay,
To wrap in sorrows gown.
AS art weeps softly in the night
Before her lovers bier,
The shade is torn; tiny light
CLOVIS from a bitter tear.
A young hand comes to fan the flame
That grows upon the floor.
A young soul turns its face to fame,
Prizes at the heavy door.
Then art resumes her lovely smile
And turns her eyes away
From him she loved a little while
To him who came today.
