'Hellf ire' for
Sure Tonight
At Capitol
Five thousand dollars would just
about cover the cost of a church
in the hellbent West—an amount
that happens to be the price on the
head of lady bandit Doll Brown.
Into this intriguing situation rides
William Elliott in one of the finest
action pictures to come out of Holly
wood in many a season—the Elliott
McGowan Trucofor film ‘'Hellfire,"
filmed at Republic, which comes to
night to the Capitol Theatre.
As the story opens, an itinerant
minister of the gospel, Brother Jo
seph, saves the life of a card sharp
Zeb Smith, played by Elliott, in a
barroom brawl, and loses his own in
doing so. Zeb makes a death-bed
agreement with the preacher to
carry out his desire to have a church
built—not in the way of violence and
cheating, but rather, according to
the precepts laid down in the Bible.
Men laugh at Zeb as they had at
Joseph in his appeals for money to
carry on the good work. Then, cir
cumstance brings him into the orbit
of the notorious lady bandit, Doll
Brown, who has a price of $5,000 on
her head.
The way Zeb figures it, he could
turn her in, collect the reward, and
build the church. But that isn’t the
way he’s supposed to do it, accord
ing to his new set of rules. He must
touch her heart, and convince her
to give herself up. This touches off a
conflict which is strikingly unique,
and full of heart appeal.

lects substantially the ftill tax of
the average wage earner by with
holding a portion of his tax from
each paycheck. Therefore, January

quires others, especially farmers,
business and professional people,
investors, landlords, and certain
wage earners, to pay estimated tax
(Form 1040-ES). January 15 is the
last day for filing, amending, and
paying estimated tax for these
people.
Final 1951 income tax returns dVe
due by March 15 from all tax
payers, but if filed by January 15
will serve as both return and es
timate for 1951, except in the case
of farmers, who have until Janu
ary 31 to file their final return
where it is also to serve as their
estimate.
