Many pictures hLave been termed sensational But have failed | to live up to the description. How- | ever, this Columbia picture, Ppro-| duced by Northern Australia Expe- dition Syndicate under the auspic- es of The National Research Coun- cil of Australia, is said to deserve | its classification. “The Blonde Captive” bears the stamp of authenticity, which makes some of its scenes the more amaz- ing, inasmuch as they were mot manufactured or faked. Tt is full of scenes which require gopod nerves and a grip on the arms of the chair to wateh, The suspense lead- ing up to the discovery of the white woman lost among these primitive creatures is remarkably ‘well sustained. Lowell Thomas, famous “Voice of lLiOerary Digest,” relates the story |as the picture unfolds. He relates the adventures of the expedition from San Francisco ‘to Bali, to Paga Pago and Suva and then to Sydney. Then to Melbourne, Ade- laide, Oolden, Perth, Broome, Mobla Boola—more than half-way around the coast of Australia to Timor sea, the end of their quest, and the discovery of the Blonde Cap- tive. The camera captures many odd sights on the way. There are canni- bal cities where the customs of the natives and the making of boome- rang and spears, ancient weapons of the Stone Age, are observed. There is a weird ceremony that in- ducts a boy of ten into manhood. And then, after ten thousand miles of travels, including nine| hundred miles of sailing along the | world’s most inhospitable coast, Dx*.' | Withington finds his Neanderthal |man—and finds a white woman,| sole survivor of the wreck of her husband’s pearling schooner, who| was rescued by the cave-dwelling | savages angd who “went native.” This meeting with a white wom- an living among® the Australian aborigines is. more exciting than' anything the Hollywood story writ- ers have tossed to the talkies. For real thrills, adventure and romance you cannot do better than to see “The Blonde Captive.” | Tom Mix Here Too An added attraction at the Capi- tol and one that will be especially welcome to all of the young people attending the show, will be Tom Mix and Tony, his wonder horse, in “Hidden Gold,” a Universal pic- _|ture in which he rides and fights and “sotks” his way to win the heart of pretty Judith Barrie, CHURGH DINNER 'TOBE SERVED ON TOMORROW 'Martha Society’s Spring‘ | Event Takes Place— | ¥ { | Appetizing Menu | | The Martha Society dinner 0 be’ given tomorrow from 5 to 7:30 o'clock pm., in the parlors of the Northern Light Presbyterian church promises to be one of the out- i one best. breaking away frem roles like the By ROBBINS COON HOLLYWOOD, Cal, Avpril 18.— Suddenly limelighted as a EW perscnality” is Myrna Loy, who has been trying for several years to tell casting directors what they only recently found out for them- selves.
