THRILLER HELD
 OVER ONE NIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

James M. Cain. who authored the murder thriller, Double Indemnity, ,' recently rendered Barbara Stan wyck high praise when he wrote commenting her for her portrayal of the murderess, Phyllis Dietrich son, in Paramounts polarization of his story now at the 20th Gen. tury Theatre.
 T can't imagine any other star who could have turned in a compar- able job" wrote Cain in part. Your Phyllis was exactly as I had ori- ginally visualized the character"
 Miss Stanwyck, needless to say, is treasuring the note. In the film, for which Director Billy Wilder and Raymond Chandler write the screen play, she co-stars with Fred Mac Murray and Edward c. Robinson. Adapted from the authors best selling novel. Double Indemnity describes the attempts by two mur- derers to collect illegal insurancel

BARBARY COAST FLAME K STAR
 CApIT0L'S BILL

Good old American customs of an era with hair on its chest and a twinkle in it's eye is coming to the Capitol tonight in the entertaining Flame of Barbara Coast"
 This is not history, althought it deals with people and events that made it. Neither does the story point a moral, but an honest Mon tana cattleman certainly wins at poker and lover over an interesting if dishonest gambler. The compli- cations make an arresting story.
 John Wayne is the rancher. Ann Dvorak is the flame of the Barbary Coast and a lovely one. This is her first American screen role i'll four years. She has been driving an am bulance in London. The interlude has not lessened her dramatic power, her singing voice or her beauty.
 Joseph Schildkraut, Academy award winner, long distinguished in the theatre, plays the gambler who loses.
 Sets are highly spectacular, built from old photographs of San Fran cisco in the pre-fire days. The earthquake which razes the gamb- ling hall and everything around it, is unquestionably one of the most amazing sequences ever filmed.
 An excellent supporting cast in- cludes Virginia Grey, William Fraw- ley, Jack Norton, Russell Hicks. Paul Fix, Jan Ullrich, Al Murphy, Marc Lawrence, Emmett Vogan, Eve Lynn, Hank Bell, Butterfly Me- Queen and others.
