' ar rum Runs 12 Days Spectacular Drama About Noted Bad Man Took 2 Years to Make Darryl F. Zantick's production "Jesse James," showing this last week at the Grand theatre has been beld oyer by popular demand until Wednesday, making a 12 day run. This 20th Century-Fox technicolor epic, which was two years In the making, received a wildly enthusiastic welcome from audiences all week. It is one of the most spectacular dramas ever produced on the screen. Two Tears In Making Although Hollywood has fre quently spent as much as two years Introducing a movie, nev er before have the fruits of their labor been so apparent as they are In "Jesse Janes." It is undoubt edly Darryl F. Zanuck's greatest production, and that tribute, paid to the man who gave us "In Old Chicago" and "Alexander's Rag time Band' is considerable praise Indeed: Power's Acting Landed The performance of Tyrone Power in the title role is certainly one of the outstanding acting con tributions of the year. So perfect ly does he portray the almost leg endary figure of Jesse James, that after a time you are com pletely convinced the famous out- law Is once more roaming the hills of the west. Other brilliant characterira tions are presented by Henry Fon da in the role of Frank James. and Nancy Kelly as Zerelda, Jesse's wife. Randolph Scott is . splendid as Marshall Wright and a fine supporting cast do their bit down to the last man. Henry King '.directed the picture from screen play by Nunnally Johnson, who was also associate producer on the film.

Taylor, Beery At Elsinore ' Said Worthy Successor to "Crowd Roars' . Combining the punch of -."The Crowd Roars' with the vigorous drama of "The Bad Man of Brim stone. the new outdoor drama. "Stand Up and right,, co-starring Wallace Beery and Robert Taylor for the first time, comes to the screen of the Elsinore theatre today. ' - Unique In that It combines au thentic historical background .of a period ana locale nitnerto un touched in motion pictures with the sort of rapid-fire pace that made the Westerns of silent days so perennially popular, "Stand Up and Fight" seems likely to be the forerunner of a cycle. of stories of that kind. Taylor's Role Good Taylor's role of the bankrupt young Maryland aristocrat shang haied Into going to work for the stage coach line is happy choice for it gives him an opportunity to combine romantic appeal with the he-man, type of characterisation which won him laurels in "A Tank at Oxford" and "The Crowd Roars.' Beery's role of the hard boiled, often unscrupulous mana ger of the Bullet Line is another natural, a typical Beery part played to the tilt and comparable with any of his finest work. Florence Rice Appeals For Florence Rice the feminine lead is a sure augury of great sac- cess to come for she handles this, her first major assignment, with a sure touch and appealing charm Never has she been photographed to greater advantage than in the hoop-skirts and bonnets of the 1850's. Comedienne Helen Brod erick is at her sardonic best- Charles Bickford and Barton Mac- Lane are as villainous as could be wished of a "heavy,' Clinton Rosemond embodies all the pa those of the negro slave. Charley Grapewin, John Qualen, Robert Gleckler and others lend memor able support. IIilitary Academy run at Capitol "TTxe Dnk of 7est Point" Tells Plebe's Story of Romance, Drama Capturing the behind-the-scenes romance, gayety, adventure and excitement of life as it is lived at the United States Military acad emy, Edward Small has lavished talents of showmanship and enter tainment on. his first major film attraction tor the current season "The Duke of West Point," to day at the Capitol theatre. - Headed by a east which includes Louis Hayward, ' Joan - Fontaine, Richard Carlson, Tom Brown and Alan Curtis, this romantic 'drama tells the story of young cadets who enter a different and dlffi cult world when they become Plebes at West Point. Recording their- ups-atfd-downs, their . per sonal human dramas, their prides and prejudices, their hopes : and dreams, the picture is unreeled 'against authentic backgrounds which -were photographed at West Point by a special camera crew. " Feeling that a picture of scope and importance deserved produc tion values of first magnitude. Producer Small hired military and athletic experts to act as advisors throughout filming to insure ab solute authenticity and accuracy in all sequences portraying the varied activities of those who ac tually are trained to become offi cers in the United States army.
