DRAMATIC STORY
NOW ON SC EN,
CAPITOL T ITRE
John Huston's "We Were Stran
gers," which opened yesterday at the
Capitol Theatre, is a powerful cine
matic haymaker that rips straighl
to the heart Seldom has a picture
been invested with such electric
suspense, terrifying drama, haunt
ing beauty, and been presented Witt
such magnificent and realistic
force.
The brilliant direction of Huston
recipient of 1948 "Oscars” for direc
tion and writing, is matched by the
superb performance of stars Jenni
fer Jones, John Garfield and Pedrc
Armendariz.
Miss Jones, whose breathless
beauty registers superbly on the
screen, portrays a Cuban girl whc
is innocently drawn into a gigantic
conspiracy. Garfield plays a Cuban
expatriate who returns to his native
land, a stranger, and with single
minded purpose immerses himself in
the same fiery intrigue, while Ar
mendariz, popular Mexican star, has
the meaty role of a secret agent,
who pits his guile and brutality
against the conspirators.

RED SKELTON IS
COMING TUESDAY
TO 20TH CENTURY
Those who think of Red Skelton
purely in terms of slapstick comedy
have a surprise in store for them
tomorrow when “Merton of the
Movies" opens at the Gross 20th
Century Theatre.
For his new role as the country
'bumpkin who1 storms the portals of
Hollywood of the silent-film days
reveals a Skelton of far greater ver
satility than he has ever shown be
fore. The slapstick is there to be
sure—and it’s a delight—but com
bined with the fun is a heart-warm
ing appeal and a touch of pathos
that brings to mind the best work
of Charlie Chaplin.
As Merton Gill, hero of the story,
Skelton goes to Hollywood full of
lofty ideals and an unswerving
aspiration to give his all in the pur
suit of high-class drama. Unfortun
ately, his talents fall far short of
his ambitions, but when he is ad
vised by his only friend, Phyllis, a
down-to-earth trouper, to work his
way up via comedy parts, he dis
dains her suggestion. Phyllis, seeing
him down to his last nickle, maneu
vers him into the top role of a
slapstick farce and manages to see
him through the film without let
ting him catch on to the fact that
it’s not serious drama. It's only at
the picture’s preview that Merton
discovers the fraud and, embittered,
,s about to return to Tinkerton,
Kansas. He is eventually persuaded
that laughter and art can go hand
in hand and retains both Phyllis
and comedy stardom.
Engagement Is
Announced Here
Mr. and Mrs. Preston Smith Sin
clair, of 707 McCabe Avenue, Bal
