most .stiiTing chapters in the

have its local opening on Wed

“Wes) of Dodge City thece’s no
law" was a byword in i!ie old
west. .And west of Dodge City,
there was Virginia City, a city
of gold, ruled by lead. Sprung up
overnight, after tho discovery of
the Comstock Lode and other
gold and silver mittes had brought
ihonsands of prospectors to Ne
vada. Virginia Ci'.y was as color
ful a.s the void tliat broir-’lit it

l»e(‘ding of law and order. It is

On the stagecoach journey, he
meets Julia (.Vliriain Hopkins),
wlio is the new singing and danc
ing star at tlie famous Sazerac
Cafe in Virginia City. This marks
the begintiing of a hectic romance
which has as many ups and downs
as the terrain of Nevada.
IMtled against Flynn in hi.s
iiattle to divert the gold to the
rnion Army is Randolph Scott,
a> a ronfeflerale officer, and
John Murrell (Humphrey Bo
gart). notorious liighwayinan,
who intends to divert the gold to
his own uses. From this situation
emerges as lusty and action-pack
ed a story as the most ardent
thrill-fan could desire, even more
exciting than “Dodge City’’ in
which Flynn starred last esason.
Critics who have previewed
“Virginia Olty’’ on the We.st
Coast, cill Miriam Hopkins’ per
formance the surprise of the year.
As the spitfire queen of the
dancehall, a complete change
from the dramatic roles she has
been playing, she is said to turn
in a performance that rings the
bell from every angle. Flynn, in
the reckless, dashing type of
role, is said to do one of his
best characterizations, with Ran
dolph Scott as a worthy contender
for hero honors.
Besides the head-liners, the
fine supporting cast includes
Frank McHugh, Alan Hale, Guinn
“Big Boy" Williams, John Lltel,
Moroni Olsen, Russell Hicks,
uickie Jones, Doaiglas Dumbrille
and a host of others.
'Based on an original screen
play by Robert Buckner, the film
was made under the direction of
Michael Curtiz, whose genius for
handling pictures of epic sweep
was so ably demonstrated with
such outstanding films as “The
Adventures of Robin Hood” and
“Dodge City.”^
