DOUBLE FEATURE
 BILL ON TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Two features, different in theme, are showing tonight and tomorrow at the 20th Century Theatre.
 "Jive Junction. one of the two on the screen, is just that, full of excitement, music and what goes with it.
 The other feature. a fine story and plenty of action, is Dark Mountain" which is built for speed with the Forest Rangers tangling with black market racketeers in a fight to the finish, stars William Berke, Bob Lowery and Ellen Drew. Bob, as the forest ranger, pro- tects Ellen from the viciousness of her husband, Regis Toomey, a black marketeer and killer Ellen. not knowing her husbands business at first, finds out about his dealings later, and goes to Dark Mountain, where her former sweetheart, Low cry. is stationed. Toomey, however, follows Ellen and forces his wife to cover up for him.
 In the end, justice prevails and things wind up ship-shape after all. The suspense is kept at a high pitch through Berke's excellent direction and the action is inter- spersed with numerous comedy in cidents as Eddie Quillan provides the laughs with Tramp. the dog, the scheen's sensational canine. A breath-taking automobile chase is one of the more exciting scenes in the film, so we are told, and adds another high point to the fast moving picture.
