Phone 3300 Local 211 Drama and romance in the life of a struggling junior physician are entertainingly blended in "Young Dr. Kildare," which comes to the McDonald theatre Wednes day. The characters in all such stories are ready-made for the theatre because there is always the pulse-beat of human emotions in the atmosphere. The atmosphere of life in the walls of a great general hospital Is brought to the screen with effec tive power. This is the inside that is known only to the staff sur geons, the nurses, internes and the police reporters. It is a side with which even the patients never become familiar. Lew Ayres as -the eager young Doctor Kildare is human and natural in a role which he plays with artistic restraint, Lynne Car ver handles the romantic lead with technique that indicates be yond question her early rise to stardom. Lionel Barrymore as the grizzled surgeon who knows that his days "ore numbered gives a performance that is entirely in accord with the Barrymore tradition. 'Spawn' Tells Story Of Last Frontier A panoramic view of the rug ged life in America's last frontier is brought to the screen for the first time in Paramount's Alaskan drama, "Spawn of the North," which opens Sunday at the Rex theatre. This story of the men who "go down to the sea in ships" in the icy waters of the Arctic is set against a back ground about which most Amer icans know very little but one which captures the imagination every time it is mentioned. "Spawn of the North" is set in the early years of the twentieth century, but the conditions pic tured in it exist today in very much the same form. As In all frontier communities, life Is lived with a mad abandon, and sudden death evokes little emotion. The law counts only in so far as there are men around with the will and strength to enforce it. The titanic struggle between fishermen and sea raiders pic tured in the story has been Al- aska's most serious problem for decades, and is no nearer solu tion now than when it first began. The two opposing forces, led by George Raft and Henry Fonda in the screen story, wage an unend ing war, with now one side win ning, now another. Newsreel Cameramen Chased By Danger In "Sharpshooters" With the unerring showman ship vision that has been respon sible for several of the most en tertaining and successful picture series, 20th Century-Fox has again directed its production tal ent and resources to the creation of a new series of action pictures, dramatizing the exploits of "The Camera Daredevils," the first of which, 'Sharpshooters," comes to the McDonald Theatre, beginning Saturday. The heroes of this new series are two devil-may-care newsreel photographers chasing danger 'round the worldl And they're ready on a moment's notice to take their lives in their hands or maybe a girl in their arms. "The Sisters" is double billed with it 'Kentucky Home' Producer Noted As Star Discoverer E. B. Derr, Monogram producer of "My Old Kentucky Home," at the Heilig theatre Thursday, is partly responsible for the success of Jean Harlow, Clark Gable, and Paul Muni, for he gave them their start in the pictures "Hell's An gels,'' "The Painted Desert," and "Scarface," which he produced. In the cast of "My Old Ken tucky Home" are Evelyn Venable, Grant Richards, Clara Blandick, Cornelius Keefe, and Bemadene Hayes. Miss Venable, who retired from the screen four years ago to marry cameraman Hal Mohr, makes her comeback in the production. REMEMBER when Joe first started to sell his duck? Well, he's come a long way since that day. Now he's at the Heilig in his new est hit, "Mr. Doodle Kicks Off." He hates football but ends up by be coming a star. i 5 Wm. "M-iO-gr ? LEO CARRILLO, Edith Fellows and Tommy Bond are shown above in a scene from "City Streets." which will play for one day only, Thursday, at the Mayflower. iMarx Brothers At Mayflower Sunday The "mad Mantes" are still about. You'll find them playing at the Mayflower this week in "Room Service" until Wednesday night. After attracting crowds to the Heilig last week it was decided they'd better be kept In town for a few more days, the management said. The cinematic production is adapted from a New York stage success which played on Broadway for 61 weeks. It features the three brothers in a story full of daffy situations and crazy complications which fit their peculiar comedy style. "Room Service" is said to be the best film yet made by the trio. Also featured in prominent roles are Lucille Ball, Ann Miller and Frank Albertson. Burns, Grade Team With Martha at Mayflower Grade Allen, George Burns and Martha Raye, who panicked audi ences in "College Holiday," head the all-star cast of the new Para mount musical , comedy, "College Swing," which will open Friday at the Mayflower theatre. In this story of a collegiate nitwit .who takes over a leading American university and runs it to suit her self, the three gay clowns are as sisted in their antics by Bob Hope, who climbed into the top drawer of stardom by virtue of his sin gle performance as the master of ceremonies in the recent "Big Broadcast of 1938." ' Mickey Rooney Has Boys' Orchestra In "Hold Kiss" Mickey Rooney, who leads a boys' orchestra in real life, has his first opportunity to do so on the screen in "Hold That Kiss," the romantic comedy currently play ing at the Rex treatre. A group of young musicians, several being members of Roon- ey's own orchestra, were assem bled with the young comedian leading them and also playing a clarinet solo in the fashion of Ted Lewis. Rooney plays Maureen O'Sullivan's irrepressible young brother in the new picture, his first appearance since his highly successful role in "Judge Hardy's Children." MEMORY GIRL Judy Garland, singing starlet of "Listen Darling," is one of the best piano players in Hollywood, yet cannot read a note of music. She memorizes melodies by list ening to the radio. She'll be in "Listen Darling" at the McDonald Wednesday. How an innocuous band-leader who hates athletics develops into a sensational football hero against his wishes, provides the basis upon which is erected the uproar ious plot of "Mr. Doodle Kicks Off," Joe Penner's current star ring comedy. It opens at the Heilig Sunday. With its amusing action un folding against a college back ground, the film reveals Penner as an aspiring musician whose rich father makes a rash bet with business rival on the relative athletic merits of their respective sons. To protect his wager, the old man promises Penner's alma mater a generous endowment should It succeed in making his son a gridiron celebrity. It is from this situation that much of the ' picture's hilarious comedy flows. Through the combined schem ing ot the school president, his pretty daughter, with whom Pen ner is smitten, the football coach and his assistants, not to mention the school in general, the would be band leader reluctantly ac quires a reputation as a gridiron flash, although in reality his pig skin talents are absolutely nil.

Here are Richard Arlen, Swift Lightning and Beverly Roberts in one of the scenes. State Features 'Call Of the Yukon' Lovers of the "wide-open spaces" type of entertainment will find the new State theatre fea ture, "Call of the Yukon," one of the most interesting and ex citing bits of entertainment to be offered to the local movie-going public in many months. The fact that the picture was based on one of James Oliver Curwood's most popular stories, "Swift Lightning," should In itself be recommenda tion enough. Rlchnrd Arlcn is the star of the Republic Picture and Beverly Roberts nnd Lylo Talbot are seen in prominent supporting roles. The plot of "Cnll of the Yukon" has to do with the adventures that befall Jean Willinms (Bev erly Roberts), a writer who is living in an Eskimo village to gather material, when, through her own stubbornness, she finds horself stranded in the Arctic wilds with a dog, two cub bears, a pet raven, and no food.
