Film Here Sunday
“The Big Shot” Has Un
usual Story and Star
Combination
"The Big Shot." Warner Bros’, new
film which shows at the Plymouth
Theatre Sunday has a story and star
combination that makes for sure-fire
screen entertainment. It has an ac
tion-packed story which stars Hump
hrey Bogart as a one-time big shot
gangster who is caught between two
fires. He can't go straight because
no honest person wants to bother
with a guy who has been up the river
three times. And he can't get into
any more trouble because the next
time it's life!
Hounded by his past, taunted by
fellow gangsters as a has-been, Bo
gart is driven to distraction. Final
ly iafter all, a guy has to do some
thing to make some dough) he con
sents to act as the "brains" for an
armored car stickup. And anyhow,
the boys convinced him that nothing
could go wrong because one of the
underworld's cleverest mouthpieces (a
role played by Stanley Ridges) was ;
backing them. But plenty could go
wrong, especially if the lawyer's wife :
happened to be your former sweet
heart before you did your third
stretch.
Newcomer Has Top Role
Irene Manning, an alluring new
comer to the screen, plays the top
feminine role and advance opinion
says that she is headed for a sue
cessful screen career. As Ridges
wife, she explains to Bogart, that she
had to marry because she was finan
cially desperate, but now that he is
back everything will be all right, if
he would only promise not to return
to his career of crime.
On the night of the stickup. Irene
pi events Bogart from going through
with the job by keeping him in his
room at the point of a gun. Despite
this, a befuddled witness identifies
him as the person who used her as a
shield in making his getaway from
the pursuing police after the holdup
Has Exciting Climax
Someone tips off Ridges as to
what's been going on between his
wife and Bogart and as a result he
lets Humphrey take a lifetime rap
for a crime he never committed. But
Bogart plans a revenge that makes
an exciting climax.
"The Big Shot” has a fine support
ing cast made up of Richard Travis,
Susan Peters. Chick Chandler. How
ard da Silva and many more. The
original screen play was written by
Bertram Millhauser. Abem Finkel and
Daniel Fuchs. The production was
directed by Lewis Seiler.

.. .You can
spot it every time
SKILLED workers have “know-how”. So have the
makers of Coca-Cola. That’s why Coca-Cola
has that extra something. Almost anybody can
make a soft drink, but nobody else can make
Coca-Cola.
There’s a finished art in its making which
gives Coca-Cola a special quality ... its
unique taste comes from a blend of pure,
wholesome essences,— refreshment that
can’t be copied.
No other drink gives this special plus
... this unique taste and after-sense of
refreshment. People have come to
realise that nothing takes the place
of Coca-Cola. To want refreshment
is to think of ice-cold Coca-Cola.
Contentment comes when you
connect with a Coke.
Wartime limits the supply of
Coca-Cola. Those times when
you cannot get it, remember:
Coca-Cola, being first choice, is the first to go. Ask for it
each time. No matter how short the supply, the qual
ity of Coca-Cola will not be changed in any respect.
I
Long, hard-working hours tire you out,—
slow up production. You need a brief rest
pause. So, when the schedule calls for time
out for a “breather”, a moment for ice-cold,
energy-giving Coca-Cola leads to better work.
. The best is always the better buy!
