POLI'S

Riding out of the West we've al- ways loved and thrilled to from out of the action-swept and TO- mantle stagecoach and covered wagon days Americas greatest legendary figure at the Loews Poli theater in 20th Century-Fox's spec tacular technicolor production Buffalo Bill" Starring Joel Mo- Crea, Maureen O'Hara and Linda Darnell, and given a production such as orly the makers of the unforget- table thrilling Jesse James" and rWeSfern Union" could provide, Buffalo Bill" towers above all others as the mlghtiest adventure film the screen has never known. For years. the c olorful thrilling story of Buffalo Bill" Cody's life has challenged filmdom. Today, in- vested with timeless legend, count less thrills, exciting romance, a great cast and magnificent produc- tion, and story as incomparable as the frontiersman hero himself, Buffalo Bill' is on the screen with bigneSS, scope and brilliance that puts. it high among the poctures you'll always cherish. Here indeed is the figure of & man to conjure with, to fill the screen with roar ing adventure and tempestuous pas Eions. Tn all the thrilling West no perscn lived so eXcitingly. no pio- neer road as adventurously as did he. Under the spirited direction of William A. Wellman, the film mounts to thousand thrilling cli- maXes; the Cheyennes on the war path; the greatest Indian battles ever filmed; the hand to . hand death fight of Buffalo Bill and Yel- low Hand the spectacular buffalo hunt; the strange torture ritual of the Indian Sun Dance; the revenge for Clusters last stand, and many others. Yet for all its brilliant spec- tacle and action. Buffalo Bill" holds one of the strangest and most enchanting romances ever known. For even as the nation cheered him and moved westward, even as his exploits were shaping a newer and greater America, he was torn be- tween the love of two women as far apart as the poles. And while he was winning the heart of the nation he served, he lost the love of the woman he adored only to have her return to him when he needed her most. In the title role, Joel McCrea achieves the full promise of acting greatness all his previous roles have presaged. His performance is the outstanding triumph of his career. Maureen O'Hara as Louisa Cody is nothing short of superb. She plays the part with fire and warmth that easily marks it as her greatest portrayal.
 Linda Darnell in the role of Dawn Starlight, the beautiful Indian girl who loved Buffalo Bill above all else, gives thrilling and unforget- table performance. Thomas Mitch ell as the newspaperman who made Buffalo Bill a national figure; Ed gar Buchanan as Sergeant Chips; and Anthony Quinn as Yellow Hand give outstanding performances as do Moroni Olsen, Frank Fenton, Matt Briggs, George Lessey and Frank Orth. Never before has the history of great adventure and the conquest of woman's love been told so majestically, so colorfully and so excitingly. All of which means that Buffalo Bill" deserves top spot on your must see" motion picture list.
 The co-hit on this big program is "Jamboree" with Ruth Terry and George Byron. ,.
