who came to the exotic Slam of; aa Ann.
BB62 to serve us a teacher to the
scores of wives and children of
King Mongkut. Even before publi-
cation, however. Darryl F. Zanuck,
reading the galley proofs, foresaw
it* unlimited screen possibilities,
and out-bid all competitors in se-
curing the film rights for 20th
Century-Fbx.
Here was all the intrigue of the
royal palace, the loves and jeal-
ousies that rose out of the passions
and furies of the harem, the breath-
taking spectacle of a people who
reveled in pageantry, and a shock-
ing barbarism that ran parallel in
strange paradox with an age-old
culture of wisdom and beauty. And
woven in brilliant relief through
this exotic background the story
of Anna herself, who brought her
Western beauty, fiery courage and
keen wit to win a triumph no wom-
an ever knew before • „______
Zanuck pictured only Irene Dunne and the customs of that era.

which made "My Friend Flicka"
popular Is captured by Republic in

which opens today at the Dream-

A love story, the romance of a
gentle mure, and a strong-hearted
stallion from courtship through
mating and foaling, is depicted with
strong dramatic appeal under the
expert hand of the director Star-
ring with Rogers are Dale Evans,
Gabby Hayes, and Bob NOland and
His Sons of the Pioneers.
This Is by far the best Rogers
picture to come out of Hollywood,
so whether you are a western fan

YOUNG WIDOW
The delicate problem of a woman's
grief, when the life of the man
she adores Is cruelly cut off by
war. is handled with great restraint
and understanding by Hunt Strom-
berg, in his current hit, "Young
Widow,” due at the Texas Theatre
on Tuesday.
Adapted by Richard Macaulay
and Mkrgaret Buell Wilder from
the novel by the same name by
Clarissa Cushman, Producer Strom-
berg has turned out a fine ro-
mantic film. It is a dexterous com-
bination of colorful romance, sop-
'tstlcuted comedy and stirring
drama, ably directed by Edwin L.
Marin
Known as a perfectionist in all
phases of film making. Stromberg
cast Jane Russell in the title part
of Joan Kenwood. Jane, a com-
parative newcomer to screen au-
diences. is nevertheless well known
throughout the world because of
the rpnarkable publicity campaign
that attended the making of her
first film "The Outlaw," which was
temporarily shelved by its producer,
millionaire Howard Hughes, because
of technical problems. She is still
under contract to Mr Hughes Al-
though a number of producers have
tried to borrow her at different
times, it wasn't until Mr Storm-
berg came along with this fine
dramatic role that Mr Hughes con-
sented to lend-lease Jane.
Co-starring with her is Louis
Hayward, who plays the role of the
gay young air lieutenant. Jim Cam-
eron, who falls deeply In love with
her before learning anything of
the tragedy that haunts her life
Supporting roles are handled by
Kent Taylor, Penny Singleton, Ma-
rie Wilson, and Cora Witherspoon.

drama, "A Stolen Lite.” playing at
the Texas 'Bwatre today and Mon-
day. is exactly the kind of screen
vehicle for which Bette Davte fans
have been clamoring. For. more so
unu^ai story affords Hollywood's
most capable actress the opportun-
ity to display her histronlc talents
to an unparalleled degree It's a
veritable field day for tlie star as
she deftly portrays twin sisters as
unlike as twins can possibly be.
With New England, Mias Davis'
own stomping ground, for the prin-
cipal locale, the picture relates the
engrossing story of two sisters and
their love for the same man The
one twin. Kate, is a completely
lovable, selfless, understanding, and
sympathetic character; whereas tlie
other, Pat, is of an extremely self-
idu auiaiGoua, unscrupulous Ilk.
