"TWO-FISTED RANGERS"
is PLAYING AT BIJOU

History repeats itself espec-
tally in Hollywood.
/ Many of the guns, saddles and
other colorful western props en-
ployed in Columbia's latest out
door action drama, Charles Star
rett's "Two-Fisted Ranger" play
ing today at the Bijou theatre, are
antiques with rich historical asso-
citation, re-living the original roles
that played in the winning OF the
wilderness.
In striving to m ak e Starrett's
frontier dramas as authentic as
they are exciting, Columbia, in
stead of taking old firearms,
clothing and household articles,
has preferred to use 1.-THE real
thing" borrowing such articles
from museums, rhetorical societies
and pioneer families.
Thus, Starrett's brace of ASS
are guns which have actually taken
a toll in human lives. The weapons
were the present of an old rancher
and admirer who once used them
with deadly effect against Indians.
