Have Roles; Dick Powell
On Rialto Screen.
The antagonism between the
titled aristocracy and the self
like peasants is great. The dif
ference between the ideas of
democratic and feudal minded
people is even greater. Never
before was there a stronger con
trast brought to the screen than
in "In Our Time", which opens
today on the Craterian's screen.
The contrast is represented by
Ida Lupino, playing a modern
, English girl, and Paul Henreid,
portraying a Polish count, in
hibited with the traditions and
customs of the feudal system.
These two outstanding actors
make this human drama of the
present a memorable experience
for the audience. Cast together
for the first time, they play
their respective roles with deep
ness and perfection seldom seen.
Dick Powell, Linda Darnell
and Jack Oakie team up to
make "It Happened Tomorrow"
exceptional entertainment at the
Rialto today. "Passport to Des
tiny", with Else Lanchester and
Gordon Oliver, is the companion
feature at the .Rialto.
