Big Western
Drama Sunday at
Capitol Theatre
Photographed in T e c h n icolor
against vivid backgrounds of the
Colorado Rockies. M-G-M's “Ven
geance Valley,” opening tomorrow at
the Capitol Theatre, is one of the
year's outstanding Western dramas.
It has an all-star cast, an absorb
ing love story and trigger-quick
action permeating every reel of its
fast-moving narrative.
Burt Lancaster and Robert Walker
personify the conflicting forces in
a two-fisted tale of two foster
brothers who have grown up to
gether on a prosperous Colorado
cattle ranch of the early West, with
Lancaster playipg Owen Daybright
and Walker seen as Lee Strobie.
Owen has gotten the irresponsible
Lee out of scrapes since their child
hood days and, when the latter gets |
Lily (Sally Forrest), a local waitress,'
into trouble, Owen attempts to pre
vent Lee's wife, Jen (Joanne Dru)
from discovering the truth. He also
interferes with the attempts of Lily's
avenging brothers to track down
their sister's seducer,
Lee, however, jealous of the
friendship between his wife and fos
ter-brother, persuades Lily's broth
ers that Owen is the man they arej
after, and the story’s exciting climax !
takes place amid scenes of tense'
gun-play and a spectacular cattle
round-up, ending with Owcr’s vin
dication.
Much of the distinction <t this
super-Western is due to its 1 ,ne act
ing portrayals. Lancaster gives an
impressive performance as the virile
Owen, always ready to back up his
sense of justice with his fists.
Walker, usually seen as the jovial
hero of light comedies, proves him
self equally convincing as the ne’er
do-well Lee. Joanne Dru is excel
lent* as the disillusioned wife and
Sally Forrest offers a warmly sym
pathetic portrayal of the abandoned
Lily.

Recently Lee found a bag of the

Now in the Empire office is the

'Captain China'
Starts Sunday
At 20th Century
An notion-packed tale of adven
ture on die high seas, Paramount’s
“Captain China,” a Pine-Thomas
production, opens Sunday at the 20th
Century Theatre. Heading the film's
brilliant cast are Johp Payne, Gail j
Russel!. Jeffrey Lynn, Lon Chaney,
Edgar Bergen and Michael O’Shea.
Said to boast two of the most
violent "quences ever filmed — a
raging typhoon and a vicious fight
between Payne nnd Chaney —
“Captain China" is likely to be re
membered as one of the great sea
classics of all time, veteran observers
agree.
Usually called upon to portray
light romantic leads, Payne is given
an abrupt change of pace in the
picture. As the tough, two-fisted
skipper of a tramp steamer, more
concerned with cargo-than with wo
men but still able to find time for
the latter, he gives a rousing per
formance according to previewers.
Gail Russell, one of Hollywood’s
busiest actresses, is teamed for the
second time with Payne. Previously
the two were seen together in "El
Paso.” As the love interest in "Cap
tain China,” she is said to surpass
anything she has done before.
Handsome Jeffrey Lynn, a prom
ising young star before the war,
gets his most important role since
his discharge from service in the
pictur: And, according to advance
reports, his exciting portrayal should
please the faithful and win him a
host of new fans.
Eehemoth-like Lon Chaney long
has been recognized as one of thr
screen’s leading "menaces” and is
said to enhance that reputation in
“Captain China.” Preview critics
also praised the performances of
Michael O’Shea and Edgar Bergen
who makes one of his rare appear
ances without Charlie McCarthy.
