TONIGHT ONLY AT
CAPITOL THEATRE
A terrific drama, "The Crooked
Way," comes to the Capitol Theatre
for tonight only with John Payne
and Sonny Tufts in co-starring roles,
and Ellen Drew and Rhys Williams
lending top support.
The scene is laid in Los Angelec
with locations including the famous
Strip just outside of Hollywood and
home of many popular movie hang
outs, the San Fernando Valley,
Beverly Hills, Los Angeles’ Main
Street, the City Hall, Union Sta
tion and, of course, Hollywood
Boulevard.
The exciting plot concerns a re
turned war hero who, because of an
unlucky bit of shrapnel lodged near
the brain, is a victim of amnesia
He returns to the town where he
enlisted, hoping desperately to learn
something of his past.
To his horror, he finds this past
catching up with him at every step
he takes, a past that involves him
with murder, vengeance and a love
that is as violent as it is desirable
John "ayne is cast as the bewildered
veteran, with Sonny Tufts playing
the ruthless gangster who is out to
get him. This is the first time in
his career that Tufts has played an 1
honest-to-gopdncss heavy.

TWO THRILLERS
OPEN TOMORROW
AT 20TH CENTURY
Two pictures designed to satisfy
the most avid action fans are due
to arrive at the Gross 20th Cen
tury Theatre tomorrow. The top
spot on the bill is filled by Para
mount's thriller, "Disaster," with
Richard Denning, Trudy Marshall.
Will Wright and James M'lllcan
heading the cast.
"Disaster” focuses the spotlight
on the danger-packed lives of the
men who risk death to scale sky
scrapers in pursuit of their steeple
jacking trade. It is said to extract
from this hazardous occupation all
the perilous adventure and mid-air
exploits inherent in it.
Denning, the blonde star with the
South Sea Island physique, por
trays Bill Wyatt, a hunted man,
wanted for murder he did not com
mit, who takes to steeplejacking a.
a means of eluding the police. He
gets a Job with Pop Hansford (Wil
Wright), a kind old man whose
friendly interest causes him U
pour out his story. Pop, believin
Bill, suggests a plan for flushin
out into the open the man Bill
knows to be the real killer.
Matters come to a dramatic head
when an airliner crashes into a
towering skyscraper.
Second hit on the thrilling pro
gram is the popular western, "Over
land Trails," featuring Johnny
Mack Brown and his side kick Ray
mond Hatton.
