First Crime Role
For Mickey Rooney
At Capitol Theatre
Mickey Rooney, the one-time child
star and later film musical comedy
headliner, turns Into a tough, rough
law-breaker for the first time In his
new motion picture, “Quicksand,"
which plays tonight only at the
Capitol Theatre.
In this second picture he’s made
for producer Samuel H. Stiefel, Mr.
Rooney plays the part of a young
garage mechanic who steals $20, in
tending to repay it, only to find
himself caught in a chain of events
leading to larceny and murder.
Two beautiful stars, Barbara Bates
and Jeanne Cagney, are the loves
in the young man’s life—Miss Bates
playing the girl who is faithful and
Miss Cagney the girl who has no
faith.
Featured with them is that fa
vorite menace, Peter Lorre, who
pours his soft-spoken, oily villainy
into the role of a night-spot owner
with a blackmailing heart. Taylor
Holmes and Art Smith, two Broad
way and Hollywood veterans, round
out the highly-talented cast.
A fast-moving action drama,
“Quicksand" is an original story
written for the screen by Robert
Smith. The picture was directed by
film veteran Irving Pichel and pro
duced by Mort Briskin.

Thrilling Sea Saga
Opens Tonight at the
20lh Century Theatre
Surging from the pages of the
celebrated C. S. Forester novel
"Captain Horatio Hornblower” turns
to the screen in Warner Bros. Tech
nicolor sea saga, beginning its local
engagement at the 20th Centurj
Theatre this evening.
And not as fictional as it mtghl
seem is the story of the -fabulous
Captain, for it has often been bruitec
about that author Forester had ir
mind the life and derring-do of the
intrepid English hero, Horatio, Lord
Nelson, when he wrote this best
seller novel.
All the color of the times, thf
English, Spanish and French men
of-war, the battles of their respec
tive fleets, the intrigues and powei
diplomacy of the nations during the
Napoleonic era are in this screer
drama.
Not least of all is the great love
story — the romance which takes
place between Captain Hornblowei
and Lady Barbara, sister of the
Duke of Wellington, which in reai
life — now history — found its
counterpart in the Lord Nelson
Lady Hamilton idyll.
Among some of the most exciting
of Hornblower’s heroic exploits seen
are a raid on the stronghold of a
Spanish pirate, the blockade and
storming of Napoleon’s navy, a dar
ing escape under the shadow of the
guillotine and the commandeering
of a prison ship by a handful ol
men.
Technicolor also does much to en
hance the magnificence of the spec
tacle and causes the spectator to
become part of the proceedings, ac
cording to advance reports.
