Hymer and LeRoy Clemens knew full well when they wrote the play ‘Alias the Deacon.” In transcribing the old stage favorite to the screen the Universal studio, under the di rection of Kurt Neumann, has re tained the agreeable flavor of the original, and under the title of “Half a Sinner,” it will play at the Oasis theatre Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Burton Churchill, who probably has played more smug hypocrites than any other living actor, has a change of characterization and ap pears as the amusing hero of the play. He is an amiable charlatan, a professional card sharp who, mas querading as a deacon, helps a young couple out of difficulties and on their way to romantic happiness, outwits a small town meante and a big town crook, restores a widow’s home to her and generally replaces wrong with right and gloom with joy. Such a play cannot fail to leave the audience in a good humor. Joel McCrea and Sally Blane are satisfactory as the young couple in love. It displays, moreover, some skillful dramatic construction in building up to it* climax and focus- Ing attention on one after another of the character*, with the result that every player In the well-chosen cast has an opportunity to appear to advantage. ♦ ALONG THE CONCRETE ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦♦ Barbara Christopherson and Bev erly Walker were acting as town criers Saturday carrying the sign advertising the Legion Auxiliary ice cream stand up and down Main street.
