LAND OF LIBERTY At
THE CAPITOL THEATRE

( Presenting a breathless and thrill
ing cavalcade of the historical be
ginning and growth of America from
the turbulent days of Valley Forge
up to the present time, Land oi
Liberty which has its Delaware pre-
miere at the Capitol Theatre in Do
yer, January % and %, offers in one
production as engrossing and com
pelling a series of episodes as is
usually seen in fifty or more motion
pictures.
Its scenes compiled from the out
standing motion pictures in Holly
wood history, with some 139 distin-
guished starts appearing in the mar
rative, the story stresses the heroic
endeavor which transformed the
United States from a group of in
dividualistic, divided colonies into
the most powerful and freedom-lov-
ing nation on earth. So brilliantly
have the various episodes been
pieced together under the editorial
skill of the noted Cecil B. DeMille,
that the story unfolds as one con-
tinuous narrative, punched by eli
makes of terrific intensity and breath
taking thrills.
Among the numerous stars who
appear are Don Ameche, Lionel Bar
rymore, Wallace Beery, Bob Burns,
Claudette Colbert, Gary Cooper,
Bette Davis, Irene Dunno, Frederic
March, George Raft, James Stewart,
Margaret Sullavan, Spencer Tracy
and Loretta Young.
For sheer unadulterated entertain
nent, for a tale which follows thrill
lpon thrill, doubly strengthened by
he knowledge that it is all based on
'eality. no motion picture has ever
,ome to the screen, which can be
with Land Of Liberty"
