“Th^ Asph^t Jungle,” said to be
one of the most exciting dramas
oyer turned out by M G-M and the
picture which first brought fame
to Marilyn Monroe, will be shown
today only at the local theatre.
A John Huston production, its
ace cast also includes Sterling Hay
den, Louis Calhern, Jean Hagen,
James Whitmore, Sam Jaffe and
John Mclntire. Huston, winner of
two Academy Awards, also co
authored the screen play and di
rected.
It is a “cops and robbers” pic
ture at its best. Sterling Hayden
plays one of his top roles as a
handsome, quiet stick-up man.
Louis Calhern is superb as the
criminal lawyer driven to a last
desperate stand by a nagging wife
and a luxury-loving girl friend.
The latter is played by Marilyn
Monroe.
Sunday and Monday
One of the truly great dramatic
experiences of cinema history is
accomplished in Paramounts excit
ing filmization of the smash Broad
way play “The Country Girl”
which is due to open Sunday. It
stars Bing Crosby, William Holden
and Grace Kelly.
The plaudits and praise of this
movie has been country wide. Bing
Crosby plays the part of a weak
ling actor who turns to alcohol and
is completely dependent on his
wife. This is a new role for the
veteran Bing, and his performance
is said to be magnificent. Groce
Kelly as the wife won the New
York Film Critics Award for her
acting.
Crosby, of course, sings in “The
Country Girl.” He has four tunes
to sing, composed by Harohjl Ar
nold and Ira Gershwin. The movie
was produced by William Perlberg
and was written and directed by
George Seaton.

Filmed in WarnerColor, “The
Boy From Oklahomo” combines

ond starring role, Will Rogers, Jr.,
