“Wells Fargo” Big
Feature At Dixie
“Wells Fargo,” a thundering ro
mance of the winning of the west,
will be the featured atraction at the
Dixie Monday and Tuesday, Janua
ry 24-25.
The historic Wells Fargo Trail—
the lane which connected St. Louis
with San Francisco in early gold days
—and the men who made and main
tained it in the face of Indians, ban
dits and nature, forms the dramatic
background for “Wells Fargo.” Call
ed by some “The Lifetime of Em
pire” because of the impartant part
it played in welding together the
sprawling nation as it existed in
1850-70, the story of the Wells Far
go Trail is one of the most drama
tic and romantic in American history.
Co-starred in the leading roles of
“Wells Fargo” are Joel McCrea,
Frances Dee and Bob Burns, and the
supporting cast is headed by Lloyd
Nolan, Porter Hall, Henry O’Neill,
Mary Nash, Robert Cummings, John
Mack Brown, Ralph Morgan and
Barlowe Borland.
Other attractions for the week at
the Dixie include “Thrill of a Life
time” on Wednesday, and “Merrygo
Round of 1938,” the offering for
Thursday and Friday.
Saturday will bring the usual dou
ble feature attraction, with the Three
Musketeers in “Heart of Rockies,”
and “Stars Over Arizona,” the num
ber two features. News and com
edies and serials will all add interest
and spice to the program.
It’s a week’s program you don’t
want to miss.
