Action-Packed
Western at Rio
Sunday - Monday
An action - packed western,
Twentieth Century Fox'b release
of the Alson production, "Dakota
Lil," photographed in Cinecolor,
is coining Sunday and Monday to
the Rio theatre. George Montgom-
ery, as a Secret Service agent;
Marie Windsor in the title role of
dance hall queen; and Rod Camer-
on, who portrays a vicious out-
law chieftain always looking for
trouble and often getting it, co-
star in this Edward L. Alperson
presentation written by Maurice
Geraghty and directed by Lesley
Selander.
"Dakota Lil" is a saga of a col-
orful era in western annals. It
deals with the lawless elements of
the Wyoming badlands and with
the role played by the United
States secret service in conquer-
ing the area for the side of la,w
and order and making it a fit place
in which to live.
The story was written out of
authentic material and the Ger
aghty screenplay is thus virtually
a historic document about the
territory during the transitional
period when the law was begin-
ning to come into its own in a
lawless country.
Along The—
with dad on the golf links, base-
ball, fishing, or some .other form
of sport on the motor side of his
life. On the spiritual side the
father could have led his son to
the church school and the church
service and brought him up not
knowing anything else but that it
was the proper thing to be a reg-
ular attendant at the church.
There is a certain saying by a
great preacher which goes "bring
up a child in the way he should go
and when he is old he will not de-
part from it."
It is not a case of a delinquent
child so much as it is a delinquent
parent. Let the parents be right
and the child will follow.
Baudes was a great father and
philosopher and friends wondered
at his poise and towering influence
over boys and .men. The sought
to learn something of the secret
and one night an admirer watched
him through the open windo.w as
he was ready to retire. Going to
his couch he kneeled and simply
said:
"Good night dear God, good
night.
We are on the same blessed
terms, aren't we.
Good night."

Stringing it out in this manner,
it was told the city officials, who
made diligent inquiry, would in no
manner cripple the city in financ-
ing the deal or place any embar-
rassment on where the money was
to come from, since the contract
ing engineer would be in position
to handle the deal until the final
payment was made.
