William Holden, Nina Foch and Lee J. Cobb are starred in the film, which reveals not only the gun- man’'s actions but also traces the innermost secrets, hates, ind thwarted loves that make him sehave in the ruthless fashion he does. oy Hollywood as a masterpiece in motion picture making, “The Dark Past” is said to be a tense battle of wits, with six lives at stake, setween an escaped gangster, and a criminologist who is forced to serve as his hostage. The latter’s measured efforts to uncover the gunman’s dark past, to learn what soes on inside the mind of a mur- Gerer, makes “The Dark Past” an unusual and unforgettable new type of screen drama. Holden, appears as the gangster, a villain for the first time in his screen career. Mr. Cobb, who was cast as Holden's father when he made his screen debut as “Golden Boy,” currently is co-starred as the doctor who not only teaches the the truth, makes it impossible for the man ever again to pull a trig- ger, not even to save his life. As Holden’s “gun moll,” Nina Foch makes her first screen appearance since her 18-months’ stardom on Broadway in the hit play “John Loves Mary™ Adele Jergens, Stephen Dunne end Lois Maxwell top the featured supporting cast.

F you want to know what’s “the newest thing” in' automobile engines, look at the Buick engine pictured here, and you'll see the words “valve-in-head.” \ But it happens that this isn’t new with Buick. As a matter of fact, the valve-in-head engine was in- vented back in 1902—U. S. Patent No. 771095—and immediately, Buick adopted the principle,which became the first in a long string of “Buick firsts.” Not everyone went for the idea— then. In spite of the fact that this engine “breathes” more freely— gets fuel in and exhaust gases out more easily — others hung onto their pet ideas. along. And more recently—with the hope that higher-octane fuels will be- come available—a lot of automo- tive engine designers are taking a new look at the valve-in-head idea. But just for the record, we’d like to point out that Buick got there first, And ever since, Buick has gone steadily ahead, building up a name as “valve-in-headquarters.” Buick engineers reshaped pistons to put Fireball wallop in these engines. start. N ratios as fast as better fuels came So ‘perhaps you’ll want to re- member, when you hear the term “valve-in-head,” that this is the type of power that made Buick famous. If others want to climb on .the bandwagon, we say ‘‘more power to them”—and no pun is intended. But Buick has been doing more with valve-in-head right from the And—we might add —it stands to reason that Buick is not through making this type of engine better and better. desires, | Hailed by advance audience and | killer why he kills but, by Nveallng| COMMUNITY EVENTS December 7 at 8 p.m.—Elks Lodge December 7 at 8 pm.—WSCS Christmas Party at Methodist church.
