however, when the formidable
Hannibal and a panoply of cavalry,
Nubian giants, assault troons with
battering rams (and those ele
phants) cross the Alps and threat
en to demolish Rome.
Where there is Esther Williams
there is water and where there is
water there are spectacular Esther
Williams aquatic displays.
The temples, forums and villas
of Rome are given spectacular pre
sentation in the vast scope of the
Cinemascope cameras. The colors
are said to be stunning.
This whole mad frolic is set to a
joyous pattern of songs and dances.
Tuesday and Wednesday
A picture brimful of action on
the battlefront is the next offer
ing, when “Fighter Attack” will
be shown. This picture stars J.
Carrol Nash, Joy Page and Sterl
ing Hayden. It’s story concerns the
combined operations of air attack
and attack on the battlefront. Bat
tle scenes give realism to the grim
business of war.
Thursday and Friday
“The Sun Shines Bright” is the
picture brought to the screen
Thursday and Friday. The love
able Charles Winneger plays a
memorable role, and is aided and
abbetted by another famed screen
supporting actor, Step-n-Fetchit.
The picture is from the story writ
ten by Irvine S. Cobb, and contains
much homespun philosophy and
dry humor. Arleen Whalen and
John Russell provide the love in
terest to this movie in the colonial
days. A buggy whip fight is a de
parture from the usual run of man
to man brawls.
John Ford directed and the pic
ture was produced by Lawrence
Stalling.
