THE MAN FROM COLORADO" NAT
 CAPITOL THEATRE

Colurnbia's The Man from Colo rado," at the Capitol Theatre, is a picture indelibly stamped with big ness in every phase of its story. cast and production. Glenn Ford and William Holden are co-starred in this stirring Technicolor action ep- ic, with an outstanding supporting cast that is topped by Ellen Drew and includes Ray Collins, Edgar Buchanan, Jerome Courtland and James Millican
 The story is set in the post Civil War period when the bruising, and crawling young frontier of the Col orado territory came pulsing to life in the backwash of battle The scope of the action, said to be as Jig as the outdoors in which it was filmed, includes such highlights as the massacre at Jacobs Gorge, the hanging party at Execution Grove and the savagely spectacular burn ing of Glory Hill which brings the film to its blazing climax. The last sequences, filmed with the colol camera, are said to recall the burn ing of Atlanta, in Gone With tht Wind" so awesome and spectacular i is the conflagration.
 This feature opened at the mid.
 night preview and is the attraction
