Louise Platt in Hal Roch’s “Capt

epic, which starts a run at the
Dolly Madison Theatre on Thifrs
day and Friday through United
Artists release.
So, for their information at
this early date, it’s all right, it
isn’t an anachronism, it isn’t a
school class ring of the 1930’5.
Assistant director Harve Foster'
questioned the appearance of the
ring cn Mature’s finger w’nen|
shooting began on “Captain Cau

neth L. Roberts novel of the 1812
period.
Mature explained that his mo

mother in turn had received it
from her mother who had receiv
ed it from her mother—and so
on, way back before 1812.

A New Way Os
Breaking Into *
Motion Pictures!
Edward Ashley, young Austral
ian actor who makes his Holly
wood screen debut in “Pride and
Prejudice,” at the Palace Theatre
Monday and Tuesday, broke into
the movies in an odd way. He
was a daredevil auto racer driv
ing in Australia. While winning
a difficult mountain climb speed
test he was photographed for the
newsreels. An Austrialian pro
ducer saw him and started Ash
ley on a motion picture career.
Ashley went to England to gain
further stage and screen experi
ence before coming to Hollywood
where he is considered one of
the outstanding “finds” of the
year.

New Discovery
In Autry Film
A new star may be born in a
tiny bit role in the Gene Autry
Film, “Ride, Tenderfoot, Ride,”
which opens at the Palace Thea
tre Saturday.
The girl, Patty Saks, was dis
covered by Frank MacDonald, di
rector of Autry pictures, in a
theatre play presented by the Hol
lywood Group titled “Sixth
Floor.” He was deeply impressed
by her acting ability and charm
and has given her the opportunity
to get her bearings before the
camera in a minor role in his
latest film. If the girl clicks, she
will be groomed for important
parts in the future.
The former U. C. L. A. co-ed
was known in her early stage ap
pearances as “Robin Duval.” The
name change she hopes will bring
her good luck on the screen.
