INVESTIGATOR"

Richard Dix turns federal Agent. gets his man, and also gets his woman. in a thrilling, tale of mortal combat and romance, cinematically told in RKO Radio's dramatic screen production "Spe- cial Investigator," at the Alham- ora.

It is a grim and stirring story of a man whose unethical legal prac- tice backfires on him, causing him to join the Government secret: service, and track down the gang- ster who killed his brother. The film is an ideal vehicle for Dlx, who, seen Arst as a suave big city attorney, suddenly is transplanted ID a frontier atmosphere. and there matches wits with 3 dan- gerous mob of gangsters.

Margaret Callahan. p'ays the part of the gang leader's sister, supplies the romantic interest. Shella Terry is the gold-digger. Erik Rhodes plays his first "heavy" role.

The film is crammed with ac- tion, and nicely Intersperced. with comedy bits inteligently handled by Director Louis King. Credit for a splendid adaptation of 'Earle
