Cisco Kid Is

"The Cisco Kid had escatsed

five-sixths of a' second sooner
than any other man . , ,
Thus O. 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

TRIANGLE LAKE NEWS
TRIANGLE LAKE, May 20.
(Special) A party of young peo
ple from this vicinity enjoyed a
marshmallow and weiner roast at
Alderwood Slate park last week.
Mrs. Clarence Burch of the
Lake Side Cabins, almost severed
the little finger of her left hand
recently. She had first aid at
the CCC camp, then went to Eu
gene.
"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.

less, whereupon the lady goes in
to action. She recruits a "mob.

Her efforts prove too fcet for the
racketeers, as brought out to the
film's cyclonic climax. And is

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
