tt's a)l about a New York bank
rlerk who find* that her cherished
dream of ihakfiig a 17-day all-ex-
pensefl-pajd bus trip to the Pacific
Cojiat and.* back isn’t what it’s
cracked up to be — at least until
she reaches Oregon and a bucking
broncho hurls a tall rodeo rider on
top of her and knocks her flat. The-
rider, by way of apology, shows her
the aights of Frirfield.'She misses
: her bus, quarrels with her bewild-
ered new acquaintance, hitch-hikes
across a lot of dessert and has vflV-
iod and hilarious experiences that
will delight everybody right up to
the sparkling ending.
It’s u great picture and besides
giving Mias Arthur .new atiiture as
the screen’s finest comedienne, it
offers a swell surprise! in the emer-
• of John i Wayne from hia

this to a soul, but—there’s a ro-
mantic sequence ’that will make

Prama, ‘Hitler, Dead
Or Alive’ to Show .
At Palace Theater
Drama tflat a few years ago
would have been- called fantastic
has been taken from the newspaper
headlines to make “Hitler—Dead
err Alive”, coming to the Palace
theater next Sunday and Monday
one of the most exciting, as well
as' illuminating films dealing
with the hated nazi leader that has'
yet come out of Hollywood. Those
.who have seen it declare it to be
sure-fire dramatic entertainment,
packed with chills, thrills and rol-
licking laughter.
Ward Bond, last seen " 1ft
“Gentlerpan Jim” has the role of
man of $1,000,000 to get Hitler,
dead or alive. The other gangster*
are portrayed by Warren Hytfler
and Paul Fix, two of Hollywood’s
finest character actors. Dorothy
Tree portrays the role of a German
dancer who hates Hitler and the
entire Nazi cause, and is secretly
working against the Nazis and for
the Allies. A-. ’
The gangster'trio, a lovable lot,
make their way to England where
they become paratroop trainees.
One day they force their British
pilot to fly them to Germany.
There they land only 260 miles
from Berlin—and Hitler, and their
difficulties begin. •-
Interned in a Gestapo prison
camp, they apparently are doomed
to disappointment and death. But
Elsa takes a hand. They escape and
she hides them. Finally, through a
ruse which we will nqt disclose
-she gets them into Hitler’s Secret
.Country hideout.
What happens from there on
makes for tense drama of the sort
one' rarely sees on the Screen.
Action packed thrills, thrilling
situations follow in rapid sepu-
ence. .

A story baaed, on the shrewd and
oft-times brilliant designs of the
adventurous men and women who
form . the mysterious espionage
circles in Europe htfs been made
into a film that is, according to ad-
vance reports, one of the most ar-
resting *py melodramas to come
ouj oj Hollywood in a long time. It
is the Columbia' production, “Ap-
pointment in' Berlin,” which is
coming to the Grand Theater next
Wednesday and Thursday.
George Sanders, British actor, is
co-starred with Marguerite Chap-
man, young Columbia player who
is rapidly climbing-to the top of
the screen favorite list. Sanders
plays the role of an R.A.F. Com-
mander who purposely falls into
disgrace in his .own., country, in
order, that he may ingratiate him-
self with a powerful Nazi group.
How well he does it is shown by
the fact that .they permit him to
bepome a feature on a Berlin radio
network, where . he manages to
send oodod messages through to
the British Intelligence, even
while he„ seemingly- reviles his
own country. _ . V
Marguerite Chapman's role is
an unusual one,., in that -she is a
beautiful German girl who must
win the sympathy of her audience.
