"BABY PUSS"
"SANDS OF IWO
JIMA" THRILLING
BILL AT CAPITOL
Produced in the tradition of
greatness that is reminiscent of
two earlier war films, "The Big
Parade” and “All Quiet on the
Western Front,” Republic’s thrilling
story of the Marines’ greatest hour,
"Sands of Iwo Jima,” is the thrill
ing feature at the Capitol Theatre.
"Sands of Iwo Jima" is painted
on a heroic canvas, and tells the
human, tender story of a group of
men, their dreams and their women.
John Wayne, as the tough Marine
sergeant, Stryker, gives a perfor
mance that will never be forgotten,
surpassing his greatness in "Stage
coach” and “Red River.” Fans w’ho
know Wayne for his inimitable
western manner will be touched,
and thrilled by the dignity of his
pcrtrayal.
As Private Conway, who was
brought up in the Marine tradition
but who resented every year of that
breeding, John Agar realizes his
’most polished performance. And
the rest of the brilliant cast, in
cluding Adele Mara, Forrest Tuc
ker, Wally Cassell, James Brown,
Richard Webb, Arthur Franz, Julie
Bishop, James Holden, Peter Coe,
Richard Jaeckel and Bill Murphy,
turn in moving, inspired perfor
mances.

"DANCING IN THE
, DARK," 4 STARS,
AT 20TH CENTURY
»
“Dancing In the Dark,” which
has come to the 20th Century
| Theatre, takes its audience deep
into the heart of Hollywood to pro
vide one of the triple entertainment
i treats of the season. Deftly com
i bining a disarming sense of humor
about the movie business itself, a
! warmly appealing story about a
faded movie star who shines again
through his daughter':, eyes, and
a half dozen of Howard Dietz and
Arthur Schwartz’s most notable
song hits, “Dancing In the Dark."
1 filmed in Technicolor, proves to
be an irresistible parlay of enter
tainment values that pays off
mightily in all departments.
As the one-time star who has hit
. the skids, William Powell delivers
his finest portrayal in iecent years,
if not the pivotal one of his entire
i distinguished career in motion pic
tures.
But Powell’s completely winning
performance is only one reason why
'Dancing In the D; rk" will cause
dancing in the streets. The many
talents of Betsy Drake, one of the
most persuasive of the younger ac
tresses, are spotlighted to full ad
vantage. Miss Drake plays an as
piring starlet coached oa to star
dom by Powell, who, unknown to
her at the picture’s outset, is in fact
her own father. Mark Stevens, the
picture's third star, plays Miss
Drake’s press agent boy friend with
great spirit, and one of the year's
most Inventive supporting charac
terizations is done in the film by
Adolphe Menjou, who invests the
role of the head of the Twentieth
Century-Fox studios with a richly
satisfying comic skill.
