PALEFACE HOPE
' DUE TOMORROW,
20TH CENTURY
When Bob Hope dons a ten gal
lon hat and a brace of shootin’
irons, and heads for the wide, open
spaces where men are men and
women are Jane Russell, fans can
expect the laughing time of their
movie-going lives. That’s what hap
pens in the new Bob Hope comedy
in Technicolor. "The Paleface,"
which arrives tomorrow at the Gross
20th Century Theatre with plenty
of Indians, rip-roaring action and
nb-ticklhig situations.
According to the movie grapevine.
Bob is really a riot, as a traveling
dentist long on the laughing gas
but short on courage. He gets
tangled up with sharp-shooting Ca
lamity Jane, played by Miss Rus
sell, a gorgeous thorn in the side
of the law. Jane is induced by the
harassed authorities to undertake
the dangerous job of finding out
who is smuggling arms to the In
dians. In order to divert attention
from her activities, the resourceful
Jane uses the unwitting Bob as a
decoy and makes everyone believe
—including Bob—that he is the
fightin’est fool in the west. Unfor
tunately Jane builds Bob and his
ego up to such a point that the
foolhardy "hero” blunders into aU
kinds of trouble from which is be
comes increasingly hard and dan
gerous to extricate him.
