DE LUXE THEATRE
“Let’s Get Married” and “You Only Live Once” .Mr. Fritz Lang, who directed “Fury,” the terrible indictment of American lynching, has made another angry picture in "You Only Live Once,” which began a season at the De Luxe Theatre yesterday. This time he is angry about America’s treatment of men with prison records. The hero, an ex-convict with a young wife, finds the world against him. Sent back to jail on a false charge of murder and bank robbery, he is sentenced to death. Then, crazy with fear and bitterness, he becomes a killer for the first time just as the message comes that he has been pardoned. He and his wife make a strange and impossible "getaway” which ends surprisingly. Apart from the ending. the film is a lurid but powerful movie, brilliantly directed. Henry Fonda and Sylvia Sydney handle the acting finely. Quito another type of picture is “Let's Get Married,” a romantic trifle about a politician’s daughter who loves a weather forecaster who is too obstinate to say he loves her. With Ralph Bellamy, Ida Lupino, Walter Connolly, Reginald Denny, and Raymond Walburn in the cast, it makes amusing entertainment. Included in the generous programme is Mr. Reg. Maddams at the too-often-silent Wurlitzer organ.
