Brian Donlevy And
Miriam Hopkins In
New Holly Picture
The Holly theatre's most im
portant double bill since its re
opening is the program sched
uled to open a three-day run to
day. "A Gentleman After
Dark," from Richard Washburn
Child's new famous magazine
story, "A Whiff of Heliotrope,"
plays as the first feature and
"About Face," starring those
"Tanks a Million" : boys, plays
as the added streamlined
comedy. .
Three popular stars of the
screen share the leading roles
in "A Gentleman After Dark,"
Brian Donlevy, Miriam Hopkins
and Preston Foster.
Donlevy plays the title role,
that of a sleek Jewel thief and a
rounder with the ladies. Miss
Hopkins plays a difficult role,
that cf a mother who prefers a
life of excitement to that of one
with her daughter. Foster, as
the detective, does more than
track down criminals, sometimes
he helps them out, in a most
unusual way.
The background for the mys
tery drama includes Sing Sing
on the Hudson, Europe, South
America and gay night life in
New York City. The three take
one of the most exciting world
thief hunts that has ever been
filmed.
Others In the cast are Gloria
Holden, Harold Huber, Philip
Reed and Douglass Dumbrille.
Those fighting sergeants of
"Tanks a Million" fight again
only this time they fight over
an incendiary blonde in "About
Face," side - splitting comedy
which p',ays with a "A Gentle
man After Dark." William
Tracy and Joe Sawyer have the
leading roles. Margaret Du
mont and Jean Porter are also
