to-day to the Alhambra Theatre. It is titled "This Day and Ago",. the story of the struggle of the youth of an average Community to oust the town's subversive influen ces, such as racketeers and Nang- sters, after all efforts of the adul community have failed.

To imbue his story with the Are of youth. Demille has brought together a cast of the more expert young players of Hollywood in- eluding Richard Cromwell. Eddle. Nugent, Ben Alexander, and Judith Allen, one of his own discoveries. Filling the roles of the adult mem- bers of the cast are Charles Bick- ford, Harry Green, Fuzzy Knight Bradley Page and George Barler. The story reaches a masterful climax when youth of the town, five thousand strong, kidnap the town's leading racketeer, drag him off to an old abandoned quarry and there hold a "Kangaroo" court, using the racketeer's own methods to secure a signed con- fession. Then, with the racketeer riding a rail, the mob marches back to town, breaks into the bome of the judge who originally had acquitted their captive of a murder charge, and force the Jurist to witness the signed' cor- fession.
