Meanwhile back in the United

fight to save the condemned man.
In Jacksonville, Florida, Tues
day morning, Judge Edwin R.
Holmes, member of the Fifth
Circuit Bench, U. S. Court of APP
peals, himself a native of Missis-
sippi and former Judge of the
Southern District of the Federal
Court IN Mississippi, upheld the
action of the previous week of his
successor Judge Sidney C. Mize, in
refusing to grant petition for a
certificate of probable cause for
"a new trial, even though counsel
for MCGEE intimated that evidence
would be presented at the new
trial showing that the man was
known to have consorted with the
woman for whom he is condemned
TO death for rape; an allegation
which Judge Mize rejected as be-
ing false on its face.
The ultimate fate of the con-

rest with Associate Justice Hugo
Black, Liberal Southern member
of the United States Supreme

granted a petition for a hearing
in the case which will be heard

SCREEN AND
FOOTlIGHTS
BY JUNIUS BETHEA

NEW YORK CITY = Josephine
Baker, international dancer-singer
arrived at the Strand theatre last
week and received the most glor-
ious ovation in Broadway history.
She came in a cerise satin gown
with blue net stole, switched to a
French moroccan native outfit in
bare feet, followed by light blue
and silver Finger, which might best
be described as pantaloons, and
then to a powder-blue sequinned af-
fair in the fashion of a bridal
gown. This an array of artistic
costume changes that have not
graced Broadway before.
Miss Baker possesses everything
to make her performance unfor-
eettable, and the moment she ap-
pears she captures the standing
room audience in the palm of her
hand. She toys with the audience
in cat and mouse manner, makes
1t laugh, then weep silently, serves
champagne to the patrons in the
front row. She sings American
ballads, Latin-American. French,
Spanish and Italian songs, inter
spersed with love and happy dit
ties. Not since the days when lit
tie gal name Florence Mills made
headlines in Lew Leslie's famous
BLACK Birds singing 81 Am A
Little Black Bird, Looking For A
Little Blue Bird" and the i'm
mortal Bert Williams received a
ten minute ovation when he starred
in the famous Ziegfeld "Follies"
has Broadway been so captivated
by an individual attraction.

'0Iiyer Twist' Is on Screen Af 20ih Century

All the excitement. suspense and gripping drama of the worlds most treasured novel comes brilliantly to life, with all the scope and stature demanded in Oliver Twist" the feature now at the 20th Century Theatre So thrilling is this feature that it will be on the screen for the remainder of this week
 The major problem in casting "Ol- iver Twist" was finding Oliver" The search went on for months and over 1900 boys were interviewed be- fore the ideal candidate was found. He was eight-year- -old John How ard Davies. who makes his first ap- pearance as an actor.
 Casting of other characters was not difficult. Robert Newton. physically perfect for Bill Sikes, shows the humanity and bewilderment behind the brutality of this world-famous character. Kay Walsh is remembered for her roles in "In Which We Serve" This Happy Breed" and October Man" Tn "Oliver Twist she brings out the pathos of poor murdered Nancy. Francis L. Sulli- van was the obvious choice for MT Rumble, the bullying, craven-heart- ed Beadle who makes Divers child hood a misery. Alec Guinness is cast as Fagin.

|'711 Ocean Drive Thrill Film at
 Capitol Theatre

The explosive force of "711 Ocean Drive" the thrill-and chill-packed drama which Columbia Pictures re- reases at the Capitol Theatre, makes it easy to see why threats of repri- sal. sabotage and violence were forthcoming from America's hood lum empire during the course Of production. A hard-hitting, excit- ing and entertaining expose of an SS,0OO 100000 gambling sydicate, "7ll Ocean Drive" stars Edmond O'Brien and Joanne Dru and was filmed with police protection against some of the most unusual scenic background ever captured by the camera.
 Tracing the growth of a racket "big shot," and the manner in which the law finally cracked down, "Tll Ocean Drive" is more than just an other picture of Americas under world. It pulls no punches and It makes no bones of the fact that the ultimate "crackdown," one of the most thrilling sequences ever brought to the screen, still leaves unrcsolved the problem of putting an end to that $8,00O 00O,0o0 gambling syndi- cate which is footing millions of dol lars from the American people. Cur rent headlines are proof of that.
 OBrien is the electronics wiz ard who turns a little California bookie organization into a big one and then finds himself confronted with "The Syndicate" the really powerful outfit from the east which cuts itself in. Miss Dru, as the em- bittered wife of one of the Syn dicate heads, is extremely helpful in the cutting in" prdocess, by her very presence. A reasonably decent character at first, O'Brien degen- crates into hoodlum and killer when he discovers he is being double crossed by his associates.
