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."

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.

humnn romance, keynoted in
Rose's unfnrgellnble lines: "Lis

breakfast! 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

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.

Hollywood movie magic turned
the quiet little town of Spring

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

World Stands Still
For Men On Alcatraz
The world stands still for the
prisoners of Alcatraz. 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.

Enemy Sabotage Forms
Theme oi Production
Today, more than ever, are the
American people concerned with
the military dangers of sabotage.
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
