"’SILVER QUEEN”
OPENS TONIGHT,
CAPITOL SCREEN
With George Brent as the gentle
man-gambler, and Priscilla Lane
the charming and beautiful lady
gambler, "Silver Queen," which is
due to open tonight at the Capitol
■ Theatre through United Artists re
lease, is a portrayal of 1870 society
with all its wealth, its lavishness,
and its zest for life.
With her hair much curled and
piled high on her head in the com
plicated hair-do’s of the era, Pris
cilla plays the role of a society
belle down to the tiny waistline
and the bustled gowns of rich fab
ric. Brent is the polished gentle
man with fine manners—notwith
standing his gambling proclivities
and his he-man gusto.
In fact there's nothing sissyish
' about "Silver Queen." Priscilla is
1 a lady who can stand on her own
f i two feet, and *he shows it too.
After the death of her millionaire
| father—Eugene Pallette—she sets
: out to pay his debts through her
, own money-making efforts. These
efforts turn out to be card-playing,
but she makes not only a good-to
i look-at-gambler but a competent
t one—and raises the funds.
’ j Trouble comes in the form of
* Bruce Cabot, the villian of the
' piece, to Whom she entrusts this
: money for her father's creditors.
| and who uses them for his own
' purposes.

! The sound track narrative accotn
ipanying the film is devoted mainly
to show how strong Japan and Ger
I many still are. It queries "What
about Siberian bases for attacking
; Japan?"
"Vladivostok lies at the end of
18 long supply line, which would
jbe particularly vulnerable from
! Khaborovsk down if the Japanese
1 army with half a million troops
| deployed along this supply route.
"If we or the Russians use these
bases to bomb Japan the bases im
i mediately would be made useless
] and Russia would be involved in a
I two front war.
, “The Russians are now engag
; ing the main Nazi strength. Two
j front war for Russia would dimin
ish the pressure of worried Nazis
and endanger plans for our own
army.”
