A hard-hitting, excit- ing and entertaining expose of an $8,000,000,000 gambling sydicate, “711 Ocean Drive” stars Edmond O'Brien and Joanne Dru and was filmed with police protection against some of the most unusual scenic background ever captured by the camera. Tracing the growth of a racket | “big shot,” and the manner in which the law finally cracked down, “711 | Ocean Drive” is more than just an- other picture of America’s under- world. It pulls no punches and it makes no bones of the fact that the vltimate “crackdown,” one of the most thrilling sequences ever brought to the sereen, still leaves unrcsolved | the problem of putting an end to lars from the American people. Cur- rent headlines are proof of that. O’Brien is the electronics wiz- ard who turns a little California bookie organization into a big one, and then finds himself confronted with “The Syndicate,” the really | powerful outfit from the east which cuts itself in. Miss Dru, as the em- bittered wife of one of the Syn-| dicate headg, is extremely helpful| in the “cutting in” prdocess, by her very presence. A reasonably d(‘u'm character at first, O'Brien dvu‘n- erates into a hoodlum and Killer | when he discovers he is being double- | crossed by his associates. ‘ Running througn tnis conflict | | for hoodlum power and erabitter- | | ed romance is a vivid demonst xnm of the workings of “The Syndicate.” Dr. L.

So thrilling is this feature that it will be on the screen for the remainder of this week. ‘The major problem in casting “Ol- iver Twist” was finding “Oliver.” The search went on for months and over 1500 boys were interviewed be- fore the ideal candidate was found He was eight-year-old John How- ard Davies, who makes his first ap- pearance as an actor. Casting of other characters was not difficult. Robert Newton, physically perfect for Bill Sikes, shows the humanity and bewilderment behind the brutality of this world-famous character. Kay Walsh is remembered for her roles in “In Which We Serve,” “This Happy Breed” and “October Man.” In “Oliver Twist” she brings out the pathos of poor, murdered Nancy. Franeis L. Sulli- van was the obvious choice for Mr Bumble, the bullying, craven-heart- ed Beadle who makes Oliver’s child- hood a misery. Alec Guinness is cast as Fagin.

Kehoe to- | | day issued a proclamation setting aside the month from Sept. 17 to Oct. 16 for cofducting a nation- wide drive for clothing for Korean war refugees.
