The act all the characters are ingrat ating goes far in giving the film , cceptability and making it en rossing in the face of the lack f any formal story. Atmospheri ally, too, the picture has a lot 1 its favor.

This is the tale of a deadly eud between a Wyoming rancher md the head of a gang of rust ers in 1885.

PROGRAM FOR NEXT WEEK AT THE IMPERIAL Sunday: Eddie Bracken and Vero nica Lake in "Hold That Blonde.’ Monday and Tuesday: “Shock,” with Vincent Price and' Lynn Bari. Exploiting the current vogue for things psychiatric, 20th Century Fox currently delves, in “Shock,” into the complexities of a wom an's overwrought mind which can not bear the additional burden of witnessing an act of violence and therefore, reaches a state of am nesia-shock. Some of the melodra matic events are as electrifying as the title. Vincent Price, is out standing as a psychiatrist who murdered his wife and then dis covers that Anabel Shaw, whom he is treating for shock, witness ed the murder. Those who go in ! o r superficial psychological screenfare will go for this one. Price, whipped on by the urg ing of Lynn Bari, the woman for whom he killed his wife, tries to keep Miss Shaw in a coma with drugs, and, then, by hypnosis, to destroy her memory of the murd er. When Miss Shaw’.s mind clears, momentarily, he decides that he can only be safe from a murder charge by eliminating the only witness to the act, Miss Shaw, by an overdose of insulin. His con science overcomes his diabolical in tentions, however and in attempt ing to pull her out of the insulin, be kills Miss Bari, who opposes him. Miss Shaw is subsequently saved. Wednesday: Ken Curtis and Adele Roberts in "Throw a Sad dle On a Star.” Also selected shorts. Thursday and Friday: Morgan ..—-———— Conway and Anne Jeffreys in “Dick Tracy.” Those who daily follow the ad ventures of Dick Tracy in news papers should be more than sat isfied with their favorite’s screen debut. A smooth, suspended screenplay by Eric Taylor has been given polished production by Her man Schlom and deft direction by William Berke. The result is a surefire, spine-chilling melodra ma to which Tracy fans and oth ers should react favorably. Morgan Conway and Anne Jef freys are cast as Tracy and Tess. There’s Tracy, Jr., too, played competently by “Mickey” Kuhn. These three, in their efforts to track down a crazed criminal who has vowed to take the lives of 14 men and women, meet with many a queer character and many a narrow escape. But in the end tiie stalwart Tracy gets his man, and the majority of the homicides are prevented. Outstanding in the supporting cast are Mike Mazur ki as the killer, Milton Parsons as an undertaker whose character name is, appropriately enough, Deathridge and Trevor Bardette as a mentally unbalanced fortune teller. Saturday will be the usual west ern picture, “California Gold Rush” starring “Wild” Bill Elliott. The basis of every social prob lem is that one man’s menace is another man’s hope.
