THE TEXAS RANGERS"

A picture important in the skill- ed way in which it reflects an early period of American development, is currently showing at the Queen's and Alhambra Theatres where King Vidor's epic of the Southwest, "The Texas Rangers" opens to-day. Fred MacMurray and Jack Oakie head the cast in roles entirely new to both of them. Both MacMurray and the Oakie are seen as members of the 1887 Texas Rangers, the fearless body of men who under- took to make Texas "a reasonably safe place in which to live.

LA VIE PARISIENNE Ranger post.

Neil Hamilton and Conchita Montenegro have starred in count- less, Hollywood films but they never appeared together. While or holiday in the South of France recently Nell was asked to make d film in Paris. Though rather sad at the prospect of cutting h's holl- day short, he wired his acceptance and within a few days reported to the studios:

Then he found that his leading was to be Miss Montengre, who had arrived from Hollywood. the previous day. The picture, which 's based upon Offenbach's famous operetta "La Vie Parisienne is at the King's Theatre under the title of "La Vie Parisenne.“

The story, a delightful blend of love, music and misadventure in Parls, provided the two principals with light-hearted roles as the gay young lovers. The rest of the east Includes Max Dearly, the famous French comedian. Carol Goodner, Eva Moore, Austin. Trevor. and Tyril Davis.

Fourteen One And Two-Reel Subjects

With fourteen one and two-reel subjects now in process of prepara- tion, production or editing. Metro- Goldwyn-Mayer studios are well under way in the production of their programme of sixty, short subjects for the new season.

Placing a romantic, action-filled plot against a background as vast as the entire outdoors and as his- torically accurate as research could make it. King Vidor has scored with a film that tops the field from very point of view. The crew which made "The Texas Rangers" spent more than two months in the desert regions of New Mexico and Texas Ave hundred miles from Hollywood, to record its story.
