"Stagecoach" Has
Thrilling Moments
Great Western Spectacle
Rides Across Screen
at State Today
Across a rut panorama of prim
ltiro splendor, several thousand
feet above sea level under a burn
ins inn, a solitary stagecoach ca
reens and rocks behind six gallop
ing horses. Every mile brings the
coach and its odd assortment of
passengers closer to a waiting
band of murderous Apaches, led
by Geronimo. fiercest of them all.
This is the tense and thrilling
background of Walter Wanger's
"Stagecoach." a frontier drama of
the 1880's when Indians still
roamed the sagebrush, which
opens at the State theatre today,
with Claire Trevor and John
Wayne in the starring roles. Miss
Trevor, appearing as Dallas, a gin
of shady reputation who has been
driven from Tonto by a self-right-
eons gronp of women, and Wayne,
Impersonating Kid Ringo, another
social outcast, are passengers on
this coach.
Journey Hazardous
' The Journey of the coach begin
at Tonto, Arizona, with Lords-
. burg, in New Mexico, Its destine
lion. A spectacular set was erect
ed for the scene showing the fian
tic dash of the stagecoach when.
Apache war signals are seen in the
nearby hills. There is a river cross
ing ahead, where the stage driver
plans to get fresh horses and add!
tional ammunition. The coach
winds through a mountain pass
and dashes down a canyon to the
river but the relay station la In
flames and Its attendants have
been murdered by Indians. It is
shortly after this scene sweeps
across the screen that the stage
coach is surrounded by the wild
Apaches and the United States
cavalry comes to a thrilling rea-
cte. ' '

Newest of Family Saga
Pictures Current at
El&inore Theatre
His role ot Andy Hardy Is doing
things to Mickey Rooney. So de
clares the debonair son ot Judge
Hard in the Hardy Family series,
newest ot which. Andy Hardy
Gets Spring Fever. ta bow show
ing at the Elslnore theatre.
"Every new Hardy story con
tains some emotion or reaction
that a fellow has to study and un
derstand. Now and then, I think, it
actually changes some rietrpoint
or other, says the youthful star.
For instance, in the present pic
ture I have to develop a fine case
ot puppy love tor my pretty hlgn
school teacher. It goes deeper
than any previous cases because
I'm supposed now to be somewhat
more advanced In romantic exper
ience. I propose, she tries to make
her refusal painless. I Mad out
she's already engaged and an in
torment, then she. in s sensible
talk, brings me to realize that
boys like ase aren't ready yet for
the real romantic things ot lite." .
Although Mickey has his seri
ous moments in "Andy Hardy Gets
Spring Fever. he also haa many
hilarious comedy moments. He
writes a high school show, stars
ta It and helps to build the scenic
effects which include a "volcano"
that closes the show by setting1 the
schoolhouse oa fire. There is a
comical Quarrel with Ann Ruther
ford, a farewell scene with the
pretty teacher, and a talk about
marriage with his father that is
gripplngly dramatic in its sheer
humanness.
