Based on Peter B. Kyne's mem- orbale tale of three western bad- men who make a desperate at- tempt at escape over the desert, fighting storms, a harrowing thrist and the ominous shadow of their pursuers, this Argosy production carries a dramatic wallop in every reel. Wayne is the amiable, two-fisted leader of the desperadoes, Armen- dariz is the sentimental Mexican, Carey the youthful member of the trio who is wounded after their at- tempt to hold up a bank. Together they match their wits against the pursuing posse led by Sheriff Ward Bond. Complications arise when they come upon a dying mother and are persuaded to adopt her in- fant child, a situation which gives way to both tender and humorous moments. In the end, Wayne is the lone survivor, and, although he is apprehended, a twist of the tale turns him from villian into hero. Wayne, who has become a model for the screen’s prototype of virile western heroes, his most recent success having been “Fort Ap- pache,” is in top form in his latest portrayal. Armendariz as his excit- able lieutenant, contributes to the comedy overtones, and Harry Carey Jr.,, makes an auspicious debut in the dramatic part of the wounded boy, a performance which the late Harry Carey would undoubtedly commend.

ROTARY CUB PACK HOLD BIG SESSION; AWARDS MADE Nearly 100 Cub Scouts and their parents participated Friday night in the Rotary Club Pack 311's monthly meeting at the grade school gymnasium.

Members of the Rotary Club’s committee for Cub scouting, who work with Cubmaster Hillerman, include Chairman Neil Fritchman, Verne Metcalfe, Svend Hansen, Stan Grummett, Ralph Mize, and J. B.

Franklin "KISS OF DEATH" FEATURE TONIGHT AT 20TH CENTURY Loaded with the terrifically pow- | erful impact achieved through the | realistic on-the-spot shooting tech nique that proved so sensationally| successful in “The House on 92nd Street,” “13 Rue Madeleine” Fox's newest film drama, “Kiss of Death,” opens at the 20th Century Theatre tonight. Most of the scenes in the film, which stars Victor Mature, Brian Donlevy and exciting screen new- comer, Coleen Gray, were photo-! graphed against actual settings in the full flavor of realism and believability that eludes even the finest of Hollywood sets. | The original story for the straight | from-the-shoulder drama of a mob- ster's adventures inside and out-] side prison walls was written by an assistant District Attorney (Eleazar Lipsky) and is based on fact. | The screen play was written by | Hen Hecht and Charles Lederer,| famed for their exciting plot con- struction, sense of drama, and pun- | gent, realistic dialogue. It is the istory of a shocking betrayal that explodes in a manhunt unequalled in the annals of violence and ven- geance. In its telling, it unfolds the gripping drama of a ganster who is caught between three fires: the love for his wife and children, his battle to remain true to the gang- land code, and the temptations put| before him to accept the brand of “squealer” in turning in his “pals”| who betrayed his wife while he; languished in prison. opranaes SPECIAL SUNDAY TREAT AT THE TEEN AGE (LUB A special treat is in store for all | the local teen agers tomorrow af-| ternoon. | Eager to be specially helpful in the holiday season, Toni and Har-| ry Wham, popular entertainers of | the Baranof’s Bubble Room, volun-| teered to sing and play at the Teen | Age Club.
