Ae 20 ‘One of the most popular figures on treen, stage or. concert hall is Gracie elds, who was given most enthusiâ€" @stic welcome on her personal visit to the Porcupine last year. She wili be given welcome again from Sunday midnight at â€" the Broadway theatre when she appears in Timmins, though not in person, but on the screen. . She is the star in "The Show Goes On," said to be one of her most successful pictures. In this most interesting. picâ€" ture, comedy and pathos are interâ€" mingled with brilliant music to give this tuneful piece of entertainment a special charm and appeal. ‘"The Show Goes On‘‘ opens at the Broadâ€" way Sunday midnight, July 14th, and continues until Wednesday, July 16th. The picture is said to be based on an maginary career, but there is much o remind one of Gracie‘s own life in the story of Sally Lee, a mill girl who gus to be a famous comedienne. reaking away from her family and her homeâ€"town boy friend, she starts by busking on the sands. Martin l"raser, a composer of sentimental balâ€" lads is impressed by her singing, and mising to make her a star, arranges for her to feature his songs on tour. The numbers fail to make a hit, and Today, Fri., Fri. Mid., Sat. s# ME o t C IUOUS DAILY FROM 2 P.M. Owen Nares as Martin Fraser, and John Stuart as the boy friend, play their parts capably whilst no fault can be found with the supporting cast headed Edward Rigbhy, Horace Hodges and Arthur Sinclair. Basil Dean is to be congratulated for his adept direction. Adventure, Romance in "Santa Fe Trail" at Palace Theatre Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland Coâ€"Star in Thrilling Film. Errol Flynn, that most_handsome of all the swashbuckling screen advenâ€" turers, is waving sabers, firing pistols, flailing fists and galloping horses again this time in "Santa Fe Trail,‘" at the Palace theatre Friday, Friday midâ€" night, and Saturday. July lith and 12th. And back of the cameras was the old master of fast action and sole- cisms, Michael Curtiz, the director Coming After Sunday Mid. Monday Tues. and Wednes. Back too, in Flynn‘s arms, is Olivia de Havilland, just to make the reunion complete. Starting with that same +4( Blood‘" they have been in a half dozen or more pictures together, indicating that Warner Bros. consider it a sort of "by public demand‘" obliâ€" studio right. But don‘t get the idea that "Santa Fe Trail" is following any formula just because Olivia, Errol and Curtiz are together again. The story is several of the most exciting chapters right out of our American history books, knit toâ€" gether in dramatic patterp by Virginâ€" iaâ€"born Robert Buckner, Warner studio scenarist. It is primarily the story of "bloody" Kansas Territory and the eastern end of the Santa Fe Trail during the days of Jjohn Brown and his Abolitionist raiders; days in which the United States Calvalry had more than plenty to do; days that almost changed a naâ€" tion‘s destiny. ~Real characters come to life on the screen in the film. Flynn is Lieut. J. E. B. "Jeb" Stuart and his partner in adventure is Lieut. George Custer, as portrayed by Ronald Reagan. Five other young fellows, all under contract to Warner Bros. portray historical characters. They are William Lundiâ€" gan as Robert Holliday, David Bruce as Phil Sheridan, Frank Wilcox AS James Longstreet, William Marshall as George Pickett, and George Haywood as John Hood. $ . There are more. John Brown is played by Raymond Massey, the Canaâ€" dianâ€"born actor who won first stage training in England and established himself solidly as Abraham Lincoln beâ€" fore American audiences. Robert E. Lee is in the story, played by Moroni Olson. So is Jefferson Davis (Erville Alderson), U. S. Grant (Charles WHâ€" liams), and Stonewall Jackson, (Louis Payne). Henry O‘Neill plays Cyrus K. Holliday, pioneer freighter over the Santa Fe Trail and the man who founded Topeka and Leavenworth in Kansas. Olivia (de Havilland is his daughter Kate, and there are other characters played by Alan Hale, Big Boy Williams, Van Heflin. Cast alone would indicate that «Sante Fe Trail" is scrictly magnum opus. And it is The story opens at West Point, with the gradua‘xon of the class of 1854. It moves to Fort Leavâ€" enworth in Kansas Territory, Palmyra, Washington, D.C., Boston, Harper‘s Ferry and back to Santa Fe. Errol likes "Sante Fe Trail" a little bit more than he liked either "Dodge City‘" or "Virginia City‘ for the reason that the story is a little stronger. Some 6(100 extras worked in the production.
