Capitol Theatre. AS potentially
outstanding entertainment, the film

der of one Captain Stafford, por-
trayed by Henry Daniel, and the
strange series of events which sub
sequently implicate his estranged

total stranger. Donlevy has the
role of this very mysterious but ir-
repressible individual
The exciting adventures. narrow
escapes and consequent romance in
volving the two, are declared to
contain elements of gripping ac-
ton, breathless suspense and vivid
romance. Climax of the plot is
described as a distinct surprise and
the revelation of an ingeniously
cruel sabotage device.
Other competent players in the
film are Eustace Wyatt, David Clyde
and Gavin Muir.

West POINT FILM
STARTS TONIGHT
AT 10Th CENTURY

From one of the least known and
most romantic episodes of early Am
erican days, Goth Century-Fox
brings to the screen the smash
ing, action-packed story of the
United States Military Academy in
Ten Gentlemen From West Point"
due tonight at the goth Centusy
Theatre.
Starring George Montgomery,
Mauree O'Hara and John Sutton.
the film has been called rous-
ing successor to ITO the Shore of
T'ripoli," and boasts a climax which
previewers claim will make you
stand up and cheer.
1t took goth Century Fox two
years to prepare Ten Gentlemen
From West Point for the screen,
and more than three months to
film. The story Is set in the days
when the future of the Point hung
precariously. On the shoulders of
ten courageous cadets rested the
existence of "the citadel of heroes
and it is to their everlasting credit
that they did not fail. They braved
the storm of criticism, proved their
worth in battle, and enabled Amer
lea To keep its Eagles Nest" in
tact, so that in future crises Am
erica could look to West Point for
leadership.
All Americans will be enthralled
with the timely story of the Ten
Gentlemen From West Point" pat
termed as it is against the living,
stirring background of the citadel
of heroes"
