Premier Showing of “Duel In
The Sun” Scheduled July 30-31
Great Epic of Old South
west Will Be Shown Here
The premier showing in
Western North Carolina of
the super-film, “Duel in the
Sun”, Will be held at the
Yancey Theatre on July
30 and 31.
David 0. Selznick’s long
awaited epic is heralded as
the most costly motion pic
ture ever produced.
It is a story of Texas
during those days following
the Civil War when the
Lone Star state was the
scene of million-acre ranch
es, owned and operated by
ruthless land barons, and
their armed resistence to
progress in the form of
railroads and settlers.
So, first and foremost,
“Duel in the Sun” is a wes
tern. The picture’s specta
cular filming prove to be
one of its greatest appeals.
The scenes attain indescri
, bable magnitude in several
i breath-taking sequences
the ride of hundreds of
i armed cowpokes to stop the
i progress of an expanding
railroad, and the timely ar
, rival of a regiment of cav
alry; a bordertown fiesta;
