THRILLING RACE I
! HORSE STORY AT
' CAP!! OS. TONIGHT
When a horse becomes so great
hat his memoirs have to be im
mortalized on celluloid, that's news!
The horse in question, Dan Patch,
r-vas the champion pacer who cap
1 ured the nation’s fancy between
|t he years 1904 and 1916, and his
drilling history, told in story form,
the basis of the exciting film,
I The Great Dan Patch,” which
1 pens tonight at the Capitol The
re through United Artists release.
The title role in the film is played
by another wonder horse discovered
on a ranch near Phoenix, Arizona,
called Visalia Abbe, who is the spit
ting image, so they say, of the
treat Patch, barring a few minor
details which the astute camera
man could adjust easily.
The romantic story thread of the
picture which re-creates the excite
ment and color of the turn-of-the
century era, is carried by such top
tars as Dennis O'Keefe, Gail Rus
sell. Ruth Warrick and Charlotte
Greenwood, all of whom play char
acters connected with the life-story
of this champion pacer. In support
ing roles are Henry Hull, John
Hoyt, Arthur Hunnicutt and Clar
ence Muse.
