THE REGISTER-GUARD, EUGENE, OREGON 1 yfij lm , SWINGING open the doors on memory lane, Tyrone Power and Alice Faye, above, sin? the senlimental ballads of past decades In "The Hose of Washington Square," which opens Thursday at the Rex theater. J ft-'- 1 ' Lee Tracy Cast As Lawyer in Heilig Film Revelation of the shady meth ods whereby criminal lawyers se cure the unjustified acquittal of their guilty client, is the basis of Lee Tracy's new film, "The Spell binder," which opens Sunday at the Heilig theater. The fast-talking actor Is pre sented as a successful criminal at torney who for years has matched wits against prosecutors and em ployed all manner of trickery and faking before impressionable juries in order to win his cases. The ethics of the matter do not concern him. And outside the courtroom all he cares about is his motherless daughter. The girl is the apple of his eye, and he takes every precaution to keep her from discovering the sort of lawyer he really is. How the policy works out when the girl, misled by his eloquence, falls love with a young murderer whom the attorney has saved from the electric chair makes for the surprising drama of the picture. Barbara Rend and P a t r 1 c Knowlcs head the supporting cast of the film, which is said to be Tracy's finest vehicle to date. Al lan Lane and Linda Hayes are also featured. Jack Hively di rected the RKO Radio production. Lew Ayres, Actor-Musician, Has Symphony to His Credit Lew Ayres has just completed doing something for which he has yearned all his life. He has re ceived recognition as a composer. "And even if it is only in a screen role," Ayres girnned, "it is a real satisfaction." The young actor was referring to his role as leading man for Jeanctte MacDonald in "Broad way Serenade," showing at the Rex theater for an engagement of four days. "It's the best role I've had in eight years," Ayres declared, "probably because of the fact that I'm supposed to be a pianist and composer, something I've always wanted to be in real life. But un til recently I've never had anyone who would take my compositions seriously." Not long ago, however, Ayres' "Symphonic Fantasy" came to the attention of Influential musicians, and now, according to recent word, there is an excellent chance that the music will be performed dur ing next season by the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra. "I've always loved music," Ayres continued. "My father was with the Minneapolis Symphony for some time and my grandmoth er was a concert pianist. She be gan to teach me piano from the time I was able to sit on a piano bench by myself. But somehow I got side-tracked and took up the banjo instead. That's the way it goes." During his spare time at home Ayres adds to his already long list of compositions. "But my role in 'Broadway Serenade' is as near success in this field as I have ever reached," he said. "Maybe it means something." LEE TRACY and Barbara Reed, above, In a scene from "The Spell binder" which open Sunday at the Heine theater. Fast-talking Traey plays a suave, resourceful but unscrupulous attorney who runs Into dramatic complications. Heartless Broadway Turns Out Tender Songs for Nation It Is an American tradltiort that Broadway has no heart. Yet on that street a million voices sing the songs that ore closest to the heart of America tho heart songs and hit songs of today and yester day that open tho gates of mem ory, rich with the emotion of years of beloved melody. In "Rose' of Washington Square," new 20th Century-Fox production, they tell tho deeply human story of Rose, who loved the way only some women can.

Want to make some thing of it? He's tricky? So all right, he's tricky! He's hurt me? So what? 1 lovo him! He's my man!"

Camermen Find Dreams Come True in Hedy's Face The cameraman's dream of the perfect photographic subject has been found in Hedy Lamarr, co starred with Robert Taylor in "Lady of the Tropics," opening Saturday at the McDonald thea ter. Photographing the beautiful film strs is not always an easy task, as the ace cameraman in motion pictures will testify. Arising as a witness for the cameraman, Jack Conway, di rector of "Lady of the Tropics," comments: "Miss Lamarr, particularly the symmetrical perfection of her face, offers the least problems to the cameraman of any star I have directed. Any angle of her face is as easily photograph ed as all the others. Her dark hair and her lens-perfect eyes also eliminate any worries for the cameraman, and as for lighting, she can be photograph ed beautifully in any mood or tone of lighting without the necessity of painstaking rehears als and experiments for the most suitable lighting set-up." In "Lady of the Tropics," in which Miss Lamarr and Taylor face acclaim as one of the out standing romantic teams of the screen since the Garbo-Gilbert era, the exotic actress plays a lovely Eurasian whose half caste blood denies her any rac ial recognition. Taylor appears as the young American who marries her and with her tack les the problems of their life and love.

The occasion was the shooting of "Frontier Marshal," in which Randolph Scott, as Wyatt Earp, and Nancy Kelly will play the leading roles when the picture opens Wednesday at the McDon ald theater. The wickedest, wildest town of the dangerous West of old was reconstructed on the north lot of the 20th Century-Fox studio, and' Scott, wearing the ten gallon Stetson of the gun-fighting mar shal who brought the low to Tombstone, could be seen strid ing over the very ground where a few months earlier Henry Fon da strolled, wearing the fam ar stovepipe hat of the great eman cipator while playing the title role in "Young Mr. Lincoln." In "Frontier Marshal," Cesar Romero, Binnic Barnes and John Carrad i no a re a lso nrominen t ly featured. Allan Dv directed the production, while Sol M. Wurtzel gets the executive pro ducer's credit.

They don't know that 1938 almost saw another world war, nor that Howard Hughes flew around the world in three days, nor that Edward VIII abdicated his throne, that Douglas Corrigan made a wrong-way flight across the Atlantic, nor any one of many recent news events. The reason is, as shown in the powerful new screen drama, "They All Come Out," that Al catraz doesn't have a single news paper, magazine or current book to be read by any one of the in mates. The prison film, produced with the cooperation of the United States government and coming to the McDonald theatre Saturday, pictures scenes at Alcatraz for the first time, including the fact that the prisoners can't talk to each other, nor can they see a news paper, magazine or any recent book of current events. Love Versus Vocation Is Problem Probed In New Film, 'Career' An absorbing conflict based on a young girl's efforts to decide whether she should marry a medi cal student or leave him to his profession is entertainingly pre sented in "Career," which fea tures Anne Shirley, Edward Ellis, and the "Gateway to Hollywood" finalists, Alice Eden and John Archer. The movie opens Sunday at the Heilig theater. Set in a small town in Iowa, the homespun story of "Career" pre sents Miss Shirley as a banker's daughter in love with Archer, son of the village store-keeper. When their love develops to the stage where Archer, a medical student, is willing to sacrifice his studies to marry immediately, the young girl realizes she is standing in the way of his career. The weighty decision of the young lady devel ops this down-to-earth story into one of the more human screen plays brought to the public. Splendid characterizations are also contributed by Samuel S. Hinds, Janet Beecher and Leon Errol, directed by Leigh Jason, in "Career," an RKO Radio Picture.

Only recently, the Federal Bureau of Investigation disclosed that a nation-wide network of enemy agents has "planted" its operatives in important airplane and other munition industries. The spies con fessed that their duties were not only the theft of American defense secrets but the actual sabotage of America's defense machinery, in case of war. Such sabotage actually did take place when France purchased a quantity of American planes. Just before the aircraft was shipped, it was discovered that emery dust had been thrown into the crank cases of each plane, so that their motors would have been complete ly and irrevocably ruined immedi ately upon use. Of such timely fabric is Colum bia's "Trapped in the Sky," sen sational new Jack Holt film com ing Thursday to the Heilig theater.
