Flynn Is Fast - Shooting -
Hero of Western Tale
on Capitol Screen
Errol Flynn now playing at the
Capitol theatre in a role that is,
on the surface, altogether nnlike
any he has ever played before, for
he is the straight-shooting hero of
'Dodge City," a film about the pe
riod when the little Kansas town
of that name was the roughest
and wickedest community of the
old west.
Produced by Warner Bros, in
technicolor. "Dodge City" is a
spirited and authentic re-creation
of those hectic days in the IS 70 a
when the coming of the railroad
to the little town at the northern
end of the famed Chisholm trail
made it the leading cattle ship
ping center of that era.
Cleans Up Town
And its authenticity is lessened
no whit by the fact that the obvi
ously British Errol Flynn la de
picted as the trail boss who has
driven a huge herd of Texas long-
horns up the Chisholm trail and
then, after his arrival in Dodge
City, becomes the sheriff who
cleans up the wild and wicked
town. He Is explained as an Irish
soldier-of -fortune who had be
come a Texas cowboy after fight
ing for the south in the Civil war,
and the history of the old west
contains several notable examples
or aaventurous Britons who be
came men to be feared In that vi
rile era.
The story, which is an original
screen play by Robert Buckner,
revolves about the war te the
death between Flynn and the mur-
ceroua gang ot gun-fighters who
hare been In control of the town
until his arrival, and it Is replete
with hair-raising Incidents.
