in love with him and things be
gin to happen leading up to the ex
citing climax of the season’s bright
est comedy-romance.

he wrote and composed, to Miss
Sothem.

JOHN WAYNE AT
DOLLYJATURDAY
To Play in Jack London’s Story
“Conflict;” Here For One
Day Only.
Starring brawny, handsome John
"Wayne, “Conflict,” Universal’s dra
ma of the bitter feud between two
iron-fisted giants, opens at the Dol
ly Madison theatre Saturday.
Lovely Jean Rogers appears op
posite Wayne in “Conflict,” which
is based on Jack London’s famed
story, “The Abysmal Brute,” rec
ognized as one of the finest action
stories written by the late author.
Photographed entirely in the rug
ged grandeur of the Sierre Nevada
Mountains of California, 900 miles
from Hollywood, “Conflict” tells its
virile, fast moving story against a
background of nature’s own mag
nificent beauty. The picture com
bines drama, suspense, high excite
ment and romance into a spirited
action story.
Wayne scored a hit in his first
Universal picture, “The Sea Spoil
ers” and in “Conflict” he carries on
the good wprk.
In addition to Wayne and Jean
Rogers, the cast of “Conflict” in
cludes such fine performances as
Tommy Bupp, Ward Bond, Mar
garet Mann and Bryant Washburn.

New Gene Autry
Western Film
Playing at Palace Theatre Saturday,
December 26th.
Gene Autry, handsome Republic
Western star is an evening’s enter
tainment himself. So is Smiley
Burnette, his pal, neighbor and act
ing contemporary. But when you
have these two plus six Light Crust
Doughboys any story is an as
sured success.
Not that “Oh, Susanna.” which
opens at the Palace theatre Satur
day lacks for plot, color and char
acter interest It doesn’t
In fact the story, which has to
do with a bad man masquerading
as a radio star at a Dude ranch, is
probably Mr. Autry’s best photo
play to date.
Frances Grant who did a small
part in “Red River Valley,” plays
opposite the handsome Autry.
Among supporting players Ed Piel,
Jr., Fred Burns, Roger Grey, Snow
flake, Roscoe Gerall, Ken Cooper
and Alfred James.
The Light Crust Doughboys com
prise a radio sextette that for the
last several yqars entertained air
audiences of the U. S. Southwest.
Six radio hookups broadcast The
Light Crust Doughboys program
three times daily.
