ST. JAMES THEATRE.
"Invisible Stripes." Bringing the powerful story of a man seeking to make an honest way in the world after a term spent in prison, "Invisible Stripes," starring George Raft, Jane Bryan, and William Holden, opens tomorrow at the St. James Theatre. George Raft plays the title role. In this, following on the heels of his tremendous success in "Each Dawn I Die," Raft is the man who comes back.to the girl he loves, determined to lead a straight life, only to find the way barred to him because of his stigma. Jane Bryan, the screen's newest dramatic star, who has achieved a star ranking through her brilliant work with Bette Davis in "The Old Maid," has the top feminine role of a girl seeking only happiness with the man she loves. In this case he is William Holden, the youth who scored such a hit in movie circles in the title role of "Golden Boy." Holden plays the younger brother of George Raft, who wants to turn to crime as a means of securing enough money to marry. How Raft keeps him from making the same mistake he did forms the basis of this gripping picture, which is one of the most moving films to come out of Hollywood this year. In addition to these three, Humphrey Bogart, filmdom's ace bad man, Flora Robson, famed English character actress, Lee Patrick, and Margot Stevenson head the supporting cast. "Invisible Stripes" is a Warner Brothers picture.
