" 7110CEAN DRIVEls probably the only picture
ever filmed under police protection. In Los
Angeles* Boulder Dam and other communities
where portions of this motion picture were
‘shot’ against natural backgrounds, the prom
ise of exposure of dangerous, unscrupulous
vested gambling interests resulted in threats
of sabotage and physical harm to production
personnel and players. This is the inside story
of an S8,090,000,GCG 00 racket." 711 OCEAN
DRiVIE was made the ‘hard’ way. It’s the most
explosive motion picture in years!

'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
$8,000,000,000 gambling sydicate.
“711 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, ”711
Ocean Drive” is more than just an
other picture of America's 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 unresolved
the problem of puttjng an end to
that $8,000,000,000 gambling syndi
cate which is looting millions of dol
lars from the American people. Cur
rent headlines are proof of that.
O'Brien 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
erates into a hoodlum and killer
when he discovers he is being double
crossed by his associates.
Running througn tnis conflict
for hoodlum power and embitter
ed romance is a vivid demonstration
of the w'orkings of “The Syndicate.”

'Oliver Twist'
Is on Screen
At 20th Century
All the excitement, suspense and
gripping drama of the world's 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 1500 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 Wo
Serve," "This Happy Breed" and
"October Man.” In “Oliver Twist"
she brings out the pathos of poor,
murdered Nancy. Francis L. Sulli
van was the obvious choice for Mr.
Bumble, the bullying, craven-heart
ed Beadle who makes Oliver’s child
hood a misery. Alec Guinness is
cast as Fagin.
