FLYNN RETURNING
 TOSTATE SUNDAY
Footsteps in the Dark" CO-Stars Brenda Mar.
 shall of Sea Hawk

Coming to close tomorrow eve- ming at Warmers State theater Is Mice Girl" starring Deanna Durbin with Franchot Tone, Walter Bren- nan, Robert Benchley, Robert Stack and a host of other favorites; also MT. Dynamite" with Lloyd Nolan and Irene Hervey.
 Errol Flynn comes back to the screen at the State on Sunday bringing more thrills and adven- ture to State patrons, but this time he swaps his bow and arrow for top hat and tails in "Footsteps in the Dark" which marks his first modern role in three years.
 While Flynn may have deserted his medieval castles for the smooth floors of Park avenue apartment houses, he hasn't deserted his old spirit of adventure and excitement. His role as writer of mystery stories who likes to get his mate rial first hand. is said to be as thrilling one as he has ever played, and twice as funny.
 Co-starred with Flynn is lovely Brenda Marshall whose perform ance in "The Sea Hawk" brought raves from critics and public alike.
 Flynn, who attempts to lead double life because he wants to keep his mystery writing exploits secret, gets himself into a fine mess with the police accusing him of murder on one hand, and his wife, Brendas role, accusing him of being unfaith- full on the other. Erroll finally straightens things out but only after a series of narrowing and laugh provoking experiences that makes one of the cinema seasons best en- tertainmentS.
 The supporting cast includes such Hollywood luminaries as Ralph Bel lamy, Lee Patrick, Alan Hale, Allen Jenkins, Grant Mitchell and Roscoe Karns.
 As timely as todays headlines is the second big hit "Blackout," a stir ring spy thriller co-staring Conrad Veidt and Valerie Hobson. The pie ture is set in present day London and promises audiences plenty of breath taking suspense and high powered thrills.
 Topping the new show opening at the Strand on Wednesday is the picturization of Jack London's novel "The Sea Wolf" staring Edward G. Robinson, John Garfield and Ida Lnupino. On the same big show Is a delightful comedy "The Great MT. Nobody" with Eddie Albert, Joan Leslie and Alan Hale.

Hollywood - Probably the most satisfied actor in all Hollywood at the moment is Robert Taylor, who finally has been allowed to stalk put of the drawing room and climb Into a saddle.
 As Billy the Kid, he's having so Burned much fun he almost hates Co take of his makeup. He even wore 1t to @ preview the other night He looks tough and mean and dirty, shoots 8 lot of guys, and dies with his boots on.
 Ever since he has been at Metro, Taylor has been pestering his bosses to let him make g. western. For the last two years, while he had his script on his mind, he has given them no peace.
 It's more than just yen to get away from Romeo roles. He did that last year, with "Waterloo Bridge" Taylor isn't kidding when he says that ever since he can Remember he has wanted to be a cowboy. Unlike most kids, though, he didn't outgrow the idea, but kept on collecting silver-mounted, hand-tooled foofaraw, bought Q ranch. married Actress Barbara stanwyck who's as horse-crazy as he is.

 When the "Iiid" company was on location at Tucson and Monu- ment Valley, the natives were loud In their praise of an actor-espec- aaily c matinee idol who could really ride. But Taylor figures If they were issuing riders licenses, he'd be eligible for @ bale of 'em, counting his hours on horseback.
 He soloed when he was 2 when he got his first horse. "She was a little black mare that I named Gypsy" Taylor recalled. My dad brought her around to the door one morning and said, She's your horse, son get on and ride her, He showed me how to mount And get of, how to start and stop, and that was all.

 "One night when We were over at my mothers, I said, Do those folks who owned Gypsy have q telephone?' And mother said, Why, I suppose so, but it's midnight there TOW, and you know they go to bed with the chickens I couldn't wait though - called 'em up and rousted 'em out of bed.
 And they said, sure, Gypsy was still alive, and fat as butter! The rascal must be nearly as old as I am, and I'm 30. But she's out in their pasture right now-probably like Ferdinand, just quietly smell- ing the flowers. Wish I could see her again."

 Maybe it's coincidence, but Lady, the Swear horse Taylor has to- day, is a duplicate of Gypsy-a black mare with a white forehead blaze. He's riding her, and using most of his own tack, in the "Kid' role. Says she handles better than any of the movie trained horses, too stays quiet when he wants her quiet and isn't afraid of studio noises or lights.
 A number of stars ride their own nags or rent them out for pictures. Leo Carrillo's "Sui Sun" has collect ed $l00 week; Big Boy" Williams rents polo ponies, and most of the horses in "Florian" belonged to its producer, Winfield Sheean.
