~. lCapitol Is Fast

jExciting Action

“Flowing Gold," a. lusty saga. of love and adventure in the west- ern oil fields, made its local debut at the Capitol Theatre last night to an audience that responded eagerly to the many daring, action- Jainmed situatoins

Heading the cast of the War- ner Bros. film are Pat O'Brien, John Garfield, and lovely Fran- ces Farmer. This talented tri-

rumverate play their roles to ther

hilz. gearing their performances to’ the exciting tempo of plot and di- rectiori.

O'Brien is seen as Hap O'Con- nor, ‘a capable oil foreman, while Garfield is cast as Johnny Blake, young iconoclast, iriendless and alone in the world. He has ac- cidentally killed a man, and the ensuing hardships endured have caused him to wear a. perennial chip on his shoulder. He and O'- Brien rneet in a western boom town, and despite occasional flash- es of temperament, become at- tracted to each other. When Hap meets with a serious drilling ac- cident, Johnny takes over as fore- man.

Additional trouble begins when the young drifter and the gruff oil well foreman fall in love with Linda Chalmers, played by Frances Far- mer, Llnda is a strong-willed, vibrant girl with the quick discern- ment born of a childhood among men. Nevertheless she is a woman at heart, and her love affair with Johnny is one of the roniantii high spots of the exacting film.

In addition to the fast-moving story, the camera. captures some of the most astounding shots oi the )'Gal‘,—fl huge overpowering ava- lanche that almost comes between the two lovers, the unique thrill of tapping a new oil drum and seeing the dark fluid shooting geyser-like into the air, the unin- hibited rowdyism of s. free-for-all among men who love to fight -— proof that the world of greasy derricks and thumping machinery is an exciting and breathtaking one.

Pat O‘Brien and John Garfield deliver forthright, steady per- formances as the hardworking oil men in love with the high-spirited prospectors daughter. In the latter role Frances Farmer. back in Holly- wood iifter two years of successful

Flack. Mr, Flacks lock can be fitted to a door by anyone who can drill holes. A template comes with the lock and there is no necessity to mark anything Merely place the template over the door where the lock is to be mounted and bore holes as marked in the template. Externally the lock looks like the ordinary catch that is usually plac- ed 0n living-room doors.
