On Rialto Screen

Magic Bullet", a film construct
ed along the same lines as "The
Story of Louis Pasteur", opens
a three day run today at the
New Rialto Theatre with Ed
ward G. Robinson in the star
ring role. Robinson has his
greatest role to date as Dr. Ehr
lick and is said to give a per
formance equal to those which
Paul Muni gave in "The Story
of Louis Pasteur" and in "Emile
Zola". William Dieterle, Holly
wood's most famous maker of
biographical pictures Jncluding
both "Pasteur" and "Zola", di
rected the new screen master
piece. "Louis Pasteur" paid tribute
to Dr. Pasteur, eminent French
scientist. "Dr. Ehrlick's Magic
Bujlet" is an entertaining and
dramatic picturization of the
life and work in the medical
field of Dr. Paul Ehrlick, win
ner of the Nobel Priie for his

It so happens that Ehrlick
was a friend and disciple of
Pasteur, and carried on some of
the work that the French sci
entist started. Like Pasteur, Dr.
Ehrlick sought constantly to es
tablish an ever closer relation
ship between medicine and
chemistry. He named and sought
that recurrent dream of every
sincere microbe hunter, a "ma
gic bullet" which would kill mi
crobes, just as a cartridge from
a rifle will kill big game.
For Dr. Ehrlick, this dream
came true, to the infinitely great
benefit of all mankind. And un
like most great men Dr. Ehr
lick lived to see the glory
heaped upon his head by a wor
shiping mankind.
A picture that is truly dif
ferent, amazing and true, "Dr.
Ehrlick's Magic Bullet" also
stars in a large cast Ruth Gor
don as Mrs. Ehrlick. Miss Gor
don was recently commended
for her portrayal of Mary Todd
Lincoln in Raymond Massey's
"Abe Lincoln in Illinois". Others
include Donald Crisp, Donald
Meek, Maria Ouspenskaya, Otto
Kruger and Sig Rumann.
