Henry described his romantic bandit, whom Warner Baxter brings back to the screen of the McDonald theater on Wednesday in 20th Century-Fox's "The .Return of the Cisco Kid." To any other actor, this would probably have proved the most difficult feature of the character ization. But Baxter is a crack marks man and according to Ben South land, studio gun expert who worked with Baxter a full hour every day for a few weeks prior to tne snooting of the picture, the actors aptitude places him al most on a par with Cisco, "Warner is an expert marks man always was," explained Southland. "His favorite pas time is hunting, and he also is the inventor of a flashlight gun sight lor use on pistols and rifles, which has been patented," Production Chief Baryl F. Zanuck gave Baxter an impos ing supporting cast for the film, including Lynn Bari, Cesar Ro mero, Henry Hull, Kane Rich mond, C.

"Confessions of a Nazi Spy," the sensational Warner Bros, picture coming to the McDonald theater Saturday, represents a complete reversal of Hollywood precedent m more ways than one. In the first place, the motion picture producers in the past have avoided controversial subjects like the plague. But Warners could hardly have chosen a subject pack ed with more potential dynamite than the spy picture. Then, contrary to all precedent, they literally filmed the picture behind locked doors. No one not directly concerned with produc tion was allowed on the set. This rule was rigidly adhered to, with no exceptions made for executives of the company or members of the press. Ordinarily, studios are anxious to announce the easts of their pic tures. That's showmanship and good advertising, for every name added to a cast means additional fans at the box office. . After the first ten principals had been cho sen for "Confessions of a Nazi Spy, " however, Warners clamped down on ail casting news and an nounced that the rest of the play ers would be known by number in stead of name. "Simply a precautionary mea sure," the studio announced. Still another unusual behind-the-scenes feature of the produc tion involved the script Invari ably a studio is anxious some even demand that ell players know their lines from beginning to end before a picture starts. Only ten instead of the usual 150, scripts for "Confessions of a Nazi Spy" were mimeographed however. These were given to six of the principals, the director, su pervisor and two trusted depart ment heads. The rest of the play ers got one day's lines at a time, Thus, they didn't know the com plete story until the picture was completed. Wseftamcr trsd &a b two r Brought Back! The Riot of Riots! A BEAL LAUGH COMEDY DON'T MISS ITHI 1 Lucy Jones'Geis Very First Kiss The Jones Family in Holly wood" marked a milestone in the career of pretty little June Carl son, the? movie-struck daughter Lucy of the movies' first family. For in the new 20th Century- Fox film, which opens Wednesday at the McDonald . theater, June had her first kiss, a taste of swing dancing and a beauty treatment that added 10 sophis ticated years to her appearance for one scene. The kiss was tendered by young William Tracy before 50 witnesses, including June's real- life father and mother, her screen Dad and Ma, Jed Prouty and Spring Byington, Ken Howell, George Ernest, Florence Boberts, Billy Mahan, June Gale, Marvin Stephens, Associate Producer John Stone and Director Mal colm St, Clair, 'Lady' Guns For Gunmen At Heilig Fast winning national acclaim ss the season s most sensational com edy, Columbia's "The Lsdy and the Mob" opens today at the Hei lig theater with recent Academy Award Winner Fay Bainter and da Lupins co-featured. Timely in theme and hilarious in treat ment, "The Lady and the Mob" re volves around one of the screen's most amazing characters, the auto cratic, mildly eccentric Mrs, Leors-ard. The story really starts when Mrs, Leonard leams she is paying 25c extra for having garments cleaned. Her jaw set, she investi gates. The 25c is going to a so- caiied protective association. Mrs, Leonard bustles to the District At torney, When he proves power less she goes to Use Mayor, That worthy, too, admits he is power- less, whereupon the lady goes in to action. She recruits a "mob. buys an armored Hnoastae, arte! proceeds to fight fire with fire. Her efforts prove too fcet for the racketeers, as brought out to the film's cyclonic climax. And is between is said to be some of Use merriest, maddest action ever to come out of Hollywood, Miss Bainter scores the greatest success of her career as the extra ordinary Mrs, Leonard, and Ida Lupins is the future daughter-in-law who alternately fights for and against the social Registeme, Lee Bowman plays the leading male role, and the supporting east in cludes Warren Hymer, Henry Ar- metta, Tom Bugan, Harold Huber and Forbes Murray, 1 J- 1 .X- r "a ffe-2r i ; v. 1 0i GEORGE ARMATTA looks like he is pretesttot his Issneeessse is Fay Bainter, above, to this scene tress "The Lsdy ssd the Msb," speaiBs ssinttsy ss we Meuts theater.
