and then It is he who "bites the
dust." Tex has been killed eight
timet, and has been beaten up by
the heroes at least 32 times. He has
been thrown off stupendously high
cliffs to the body-shattering rocks
below, only to come back again to
be all shot up in his next picture
again.
Previously before going on tour
Hall had one of the biggest and
best cowboy entertaining troupes
ever assembled and had many top
notch stars in his group.
Also on the same spotlight with
the famous Hall will be Nora and
Norman Perdue who will stage a
strong arm and novelty act three
times nightly along with the Hall
show.
Playing for the week night danc
ing patrons will be Fred McKinney
and nis lour-piece Hollandaire
band with pretty Ruth Barton
handling all of the vocals.

March's Role
"I believe he is as handsome as
my husband was, after all."
Mrs. William H. Spence made
that remark after meeting Fredric
March for the first 'time on the
Warner Bros, film set where he
portrayed her late husband In the
film version of her son's book,
"One Foot In Heaven." now play
ing at the State theater.
The widow of the central char
acter of "One Foot in Heaven" and
mother of Hartzell Spence, author
of the book, was in Hollywood
visiting Iowa friends. Until she
called at Wamer Bros, to witness
scenes from her own life being
filmed, she'd never seen the inside
of a movie studio or met a screen
star.
In addition to March, Mrs.
Spence met Martha Scott, her own
impersonator in the film. She said
Miss Scott flattered her in appear
ance, but despite the fact that
March was her own choice for the
role, she'd give him no better than
an even break on looks with her
husband, the late William Spence.

'Tortilla Flat'
Brought to life nn one of the
most fascinating settings ever
designed for a motion picture,
John Steinbeck's best-seller novel,
Tortilla Flat." filmed by Metro-
Goldwyn-Mayer and starring
Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr and
John Garfield, opens at the Mc
Donald theater.
Accurately recreated to the last
detail, the set includes a street
two blocks long, with the paisano
shacks under the pines. It covered
an area of three acres. The set
was built over a period of six
weeks, after set designers and
camera crews had gathered data
and materials at Monterey.
One of the most unusual stories
ever brought to the screen, "Tor
tilla Flat" deals with the happy-
go-lucky life of the California
paisanos who live a carefree ex
istence on Tortilla Flat. Tracy, as
Pilon, is the leader of a band of
paisanos. The youngest and best
looking is Danny, played by Gar
field. Pilon's greatest admirer is
Pablo, portrayed by Akim Tam-iroff.
They are content until Dolores
fSweets) Ramirez comes to the
flats and Danny goes to work
because he loves her. Frank Mor
gan is seen in another memorable
character from the book, the
Pirate.
The film was directed by Victor
Fleming, who directed "Gone With
the Wind."
