Opera House Now Showing: “A Gentleman at Heart” and “Come on Danger.” Not since “Tall, Dark and Handsome” has the screen provided such satisfying entertainment as “A sGentleman at Heart” the sparkling romantic comedy, now showing at the Opera ' House, with a top notch cast headed by that frolicsome trio, Cesar Romero, Carole Landis and Milton Berle.

Or, screwball Berle playing with ‘genius’ tor a hobby! All this, and romance too, are merrily told in “A Gentleman at Heart.” 9 “COME ON DANGER.” Texas Rangers are reputed never to have batted an eye when sent out from headquarters to bring dangerous killers to justice. But when a reputed killer is a girl, and young and very attractive, the average Ranger would doubtless have faced his duty with considerable misgiving. That is the situation confronting Tim Holt, in his role of Jack Mason, youthful Texas Ranger, in “Come On, Danger,” now showing at the Opera House.
