with the cowboy coming out on top
in every situation.

movie and radio cowboy, visits
"Torpedo" for a frontier days cele
bration, but, finding that it is be
ing overrun by the lawless Wi'd
hack boys—his enemies since school
days—he determines to stick
around and clean up the town.
Jimmy "Schnozzle" Durante has
an important comedy role as Gene's
aide and sidekick, who helps him
get into trouble and· is equally effi
cient in helping him out of it.

Roy Rogers will be seen at the
Imperial in next week's Saturday
only film, "The Ranger and the
Lady". As the title indicates, Rog
ers is a Texas Ranger and gives
the story its western touch by rop
ing up a couple of villians and get
ting off a couple of songs in true
cowboy style. He is supported by
"Gabby" Hayes, Jacqueline Wells,
Si Jenks, Harry Woods and Henry
Brandon.
Rogers and Hayes are members
of the Texas Rangers. Brandon
imposes unjust taxes on traders in
the absence of Sam Houson, presi
dent of the Republic of Texas. Rog
ers enforces the trade tax, although
it is against his principles, in order
to stay on as a Ranger so he can
combat Brandon and his gang.
Jacqueline Wells and her wagon
train fall in Rogers' toils, but she
