STARS ACCLAM ROLES IN FILM NOW AT GAPITOL [One of Two in a Crowdi Tells Tale of Frac- tional Horse THEATRE LAST TIMES TONIGHT “LOVE ME, \ PLOVE MY HORSE!” BUT SHE SAID: UNAY NAYH | | | | l The completion of “the Road to \Glory,” Twentieth Century Fox picture now at the Capitol Theatre, {was marked by an unusual discus- sion in which each of the stars Frederic March, Warner Baxter and |Lionel Barrymore, all agreed that it was one of the most interesting| films in which they had ever ap-| peared. “An actor’s field day” March described the production. | “Every emotion, including love, hate| fear and heroism, is portrayed and| affords the leading players the op- portunity to really perform.” ‘I think my part is the outstand- ing characterization I have had since ‘A Free Soul’,” said Lmnpl' Barrymore. “The role will a]ways be one of Lhe highlights of my| screen career.” Warner Baxter stated that hence-| forth he definitely would seek only | similar films. “A romantic leading man has only so many years to be starred,” he said, “and I think that my carecr will be longer and more varied if I continue (o play roles like the one I portray in ‘The Road to Glory.” A noteworthy cast supports th' three stars in the film including| June Lang and Gregory Ratoff.| Howard Hawkes directed with Nu-| nally Johnson associate producer. Joel McCrea started the yarn of the fractional horse. He told it first to an interviewer while he was | completing the filming of his role in Universal's “Two’s in a Crowd,” now at the Coliseum Theatre. Re-| plying to his interviewer's question about the sort of character he por- in the picture, McCrea said. Well, he’s this kind of a fellow. He believes the world is half an oyster.
