ant battle they fought to find a
place where they conld lire as
they bettered, much has been
written about them and their
leader, Brlgham Young, But - it
remained for Darryl F. Zanuck,
production chief for 20 th Century-Fox
to realize the screen
Potentialities of such a rnlnrf nl
subject. Zanuck, who has recre
ated many outstanding characters
and events for the screen, saw in
Brlgham Young and his people a
stirring story and decided to
bring it to life. The famous Louis
Bromf leld was assigned : to write
the story for the production of
"Brlgham Young," which comes
Saturday to the Grand theatre.
Steel-Willed. a born lonitor
Brlgham -Young organized one of
the most astounding mass migra
tions in , history. 3000 prairie
schooners, 30,000 lirestock . . .
a whole, orderly civilization up
rooted . , . 20,000 pioneers went
on the move towards new fron
tiers. Only the will of one man
held them together that of
Brigham Young, who was to have
27 wires, build one of the world's
famous cities and found a great
state.
. The first year at Salt Lake
was one of desperate,' privation.
Then, as if the hardships they had
endured were not enough, mil
lions of crickets swarmed out of
the canyons and attacked their
fields. The Mormons, realizing
that they could nerer survive an
other winter of starvation, dug
ditches, set fires and strore
mightily to destroy the new
enemy.
Brlgham Young led he Mor
mons in prayer! Soon the sky was
blackened with thousands of sea
gulls, sweeping in five hundred
miles from the Pacific ocean to
destroy the . crickets and preserre
the pioneers' food supply.
Tyrone Power was given the
important role of Jonathan Kent,
Mormon scout in "Brigham
Young." Opposite him is beauti
ful Linda Darnell as "the out
sider. Twice denied success in
Hollywood,- Dean Jagger had re
turned to the New York stage
where he had first made his
mark. Last season he portrayed
Jesse James in the stage hit,
"Missouri Legend." -Rugged, two
fisted, a capable actor, Jagger
seemed ideal for the role of the
Mormon leader, and got it.
Donlevy Has Lead
In Great McGinty
Story of Crooked Politics!
With Unusual Twists
at Capitol
Brian Donlevy is starred in
"The Great McGinty," comedy
drama now playing at the Capitol
theatre.
It is more than difficult to pre
sent any raguest idea of the pic
ture by a relation of the story It
self. The opening scenes in a
cheap cabaret in an undesignated
banana port town, are merely to
make way for the recital by one
Dan McGinty bartehder-r-of the
story of his life. A product, of
the streets, Dan literally - pont
es and. bulldozes his way into the
faror of the boss of the political
ring In his , city, and rises in.
meteoric fashion from a collector
of graft, to alderman, to mayor
and, finally, to gorernor.
Along the line he marries his
secretary, simply because only
married men can command the
important feminine rote. When,
later he comes to adore her a
lore that is enthusiastically re
turned she persuades him to go
straight, applying the spoils which
the ring has been dividing to the
'betterment of .the poor. Jlis break
with, the boss lands both of them
In Jail on .evidence which dis
closes their past depredations.
The subsequent details of the des
cent of McGinty from the heights
build- the picture to a dramatic,
and wholly unanticipated climax.
. While It is largely hilarious
comedy which dominates the
story, there are tensely dramatic
scenes, strategically placed, which
effectlrely add to the Intriguing
interest of the picture as a whole.
Inspired casting has given Brian
Donlevy the role of McGinty;
Aklra' Tamlroff that of the des
potic boss, with a sense of hu
mor; and Muriel Angelus as Mc
Ginty's wife. Other featured play
ers are WHHam Demarest, Allyn
Joslyn. Steffi Duna and Mary
Thomas.

All the flaming adrenture of
the thrill-swept Spanish Main Ures
again in Warner rBos. magnifi
cent new production of "The Sea
Hawk," starring Errol Flynn as
the Robin Hood of the seas, ' now
at the Elsinore. Here Is the reek-
less story of the most'dangerousi
buccaneer who ever plundered
the high' seas for the greater
glory of his queen. Thrills, excite
ment, spell-binding - adrenture,'
tender romance are blended in
generous proportion to make "The
Sea Hawk" the year's best bet
in screen entertainment.
Errol Flynn has seldom had a
role that shows to better ad
van tare his magnificent talents
and compelling screen personality.
He Is completely at home in his
portrayal of Sir Geoffrey Thorpe,
daring privateer who engages in
piratical pursuits against Brit
ain s enemies. . In this, he . has
the unofficial approval of Queen
Elizabeth. ; Flora Robson por
trays the good Queen Bess in.
film, and seldom has the redoubt
able monarch received better
treatment In the hands of an act'
ress.
- Thorpe's plundering activities,
directed against the armada of
Philip of Spain, one day delivers
into his hands Dona Maria
(Brenda Marshall), the lovely
niece of Philip's ambassador to
England, played by Claude Rains.
The captive is not proof against
her captor's charms, and ahe
comes over on his side as soon
as she learns from him the truth
about Philip's Insidious plotting
against England.
She also learns that the Span
ish ship on which she had been
traveling was propelled by hun
dreds of British galley slaves,
now freed through Thorpe's "pi
ratical" activities.
Back In England, Thorpe makes
plans for a daring eoup by which
he will dlrert Spanish gold from
the new world into the queen's
treasury, thereby glring Eliza
beth the wherewithal to fight
Spain. He sails secretly for
Panama, before Maria is able to
reach him the warning that the
Spanish have learned of his
plan through the traitorous Brit
ish Chancellor (Henry Daniell).
As a result, Thorpe and his men
walk right into the Spanish trap,
are- captured and Impressed as
galley slaves, and taken back to
Spain to face the inquisition.
But Thorpe is resourceful
enough to ease out of even so
tight a situation as this. Under
cover of night he frees himself
and his men from the slave ship
Just after it has docked in Spain.
They capture another ship, on
board of which Thorpe knows
there are papers proving that
Philip's armada Is going to attack
England. This Information safe
ly placed In Elizabeth's hands.
Thorpe receives his Just reward
a knighthood .and the band o
lovely Maria.
