The Rialto theatre chooses for
its mid-week "Rialto Re-Issue
Days" showing starting a three-
day run Tuesday "Steamboat
'Round the Bend," starring the'
immortal Will Rogers. The
greatest star the motion picture
world has ever known, Will
Rogers' last picture returns to
the popular Main street theatre
after countless requests for its
return showing. Irvin S. Cobb
heads the supporting cast as a
rival Mississippi steamboat cap
tain who tries to do Rogers out
of his franchise to haul goods
up the mighty river in his old
tub.
Ever since Clark Gable and
Hedy Lamarr romanced and
, separated in "Boom Town," the
public has been clamoring for
the two to be co-starred once
again. The demand is answered
and in a hilarious manner
with the appearance of the two
stars in "Comrade X," the fast
action story of an American
correspondent in Russia who
falls in lova with one of the
female comrades who drives a
street car. The comedy opens
a three-day run today at tne
Roxy theatre with Felix Bres
sart and Oscar Homolka in sup
porting roles. One of the high
lights of the film is said to be
Gable's escape from the country
in the commanding position of
a barrage of motored tanks,
which he leads over hill and
dale and even under a river in
his flee to bordering Rumania.
"Calling All Husbands," a
delightful comedy of married
life starring Ernest Truex, plays
as the companion feature with
"Comrade X."
