TALK OF THE TOWN PLAYS AT IMPERIAL Comedy makes “The Talk of the Town” sparkle through 118 min utes at the Imperial Theatre when it will be shown there on Sunday only of next week. The leading roles are enacted by Cary Grant, Jean Arthur and Ronald Colman. It has been shown in the city pre viously, but should be well enjoyed by all who have not seen it pre viously, and it is our venture many will want to avail themselves of this opportunity to see it again. It is at least welcome for its laugh ter and complete detachment from wartime problems. ****** Judy Garland and George Mur phy cavort across the Imperial screen in the new film “For Me and My Gal,” reviewed on the op posite page, which is the Monday Tuesday attraction at the uptown house next week. Don "Red” Barry and Jean Par ker are co-starred in the film "The Traitor Within,” which will be shown on Wednesday-only at the Imperial. It is a picture that deals mostly with life in a small Cali fornia town. Ralph Morgan plays the part of the town's mayor. Parker’s father is a veteran of World War I who believes that Morgan took credit during the War for the capture of some German prisoners, al though Parker’s father actually captured them. Barry’s trucking business is ru ined when his only truck is in an accident. He goes to Morgan to ask for a new truck and threatens to reveal the location of several men who know the real story be hind Morgan’s World War I "cap ture.” Rather than face a scandal, Morgan gives Barry a new truck, and Barry and Miss Parker get married. Then racketeers learn about Morgan’s “secret” and start to move in on the town. Barry becomes rich. The showdown in the plot comes when Morgan is found dead. The blame is placed on Barry, and he is jailed. The townspeople want to get at Barry, and there is plenty of suspense until Morgan’s wife shows up with a letter written by Morgan prior to his death. The letter clears up the entire mess. The racketeers are put in the jail, and Barry and Miss Parker and her dad are reunited again. * * * * * * "Sin Town,” an outdoor action special, is laid against the back ground of an oil boom town, with the forces of law and order vying with those of crime. There is plenty doing for the action fans when this film will be shown next Thursday-Friday at the Imperial. The film features Constance Ben I nett and Brod Crawford in the role of a confidence team which preys on the gullibles of the early West, and who in turn are taken themselves, both in money and love. The romantic and business part nership of the starring duo is broken up temporarily when Craw ford decides to go "legitimate” and settle down with the daughter of a newspaper editor who had been slain by the town’s criminal lee ment. Used by the town gang’s head as a dupe, the confidence man learns in time of the crimes committed in his name. Cast support includes Anne Gwynne, Patric Knowles, Andy De vine, Leo Carillo, Ward Bond, Ar thur Aylesworth, Ralf Harolde, Charles Wagenheim, Billy Wayne, Hobart Bosworth, Bryant Wash burn, and Jack Mulhall. * * * * * * Johnny Mack Brown is featured in “Tenting On the Old Camp Ground” for the Saturday-only, western opus on next week’s Im perial program, with the latest chapter of “King of the Mounties” thrown in for good measure.
