Alexis Smith Stars 'Song
of Bernadette' on Screen
at Holly Tuesday
The fascinating saga of Mark
Twain, a typically American
story of this country's beloved
and famous humorist, forms the
background for the Warner
Bros, film "The Adventures of
Mark Twain," opening today at
the Craterian.
Starring Fredric March In the
title role, the picture tells of
Twain's boyhood against a Mis
sissippi background and of his
friendship with Tom Sawyer
(Michael Miller) and Huckle
berry Finn (Eugene Holland),
three rafting explorers of the
river, who hunt buried treas
ure and imaginary pifate's gold.
The film goes along showing
how the adventures of the river
so intrigue Twain that he is
lured away from his apprentice
ship as a printer, learns to nav
igate, becomes a full-fledged
pilot, takes his own steamer
down the river, falls in love
with the photograph of a beau
tiful girl, Olivia Langdon, play
ed by -co-star Alexis Smith, of
his determination to marry her,
his quest for money to make
this possible and of his record
ing of a frog jumping contest
which inadvertently launches
him on the road to literary
fame.
Featured on the long and im
posing list of supporting players
are Donald Crisp, Alan Hale and
C. Aubrey Smith.
"The Song of Bernadette,"
widely heralded picture, comes
to the Holly Tuesday, while the
Rialto is featuring a twin bill
today, "Address Unknown" and
"Three of a Kind."
