At the Opera House

Now Showing: “Dark Passage” starring Humphrey Bogart & Laureen Bacall. “DARK PASSAGE” Abounding in more than one happy result and packed with thrills, romantic interest' and striking a new light in smooth action, Warner Bros., brings together again for the third time the screen’s top thrill team, Humphrey Bogart and Laureen Bacall, in the spectacular drama “Dark Passage,” now showing at the Opera House.

Bogart’s role has him serving a term in prison for a crime which he .did not commit. Soon after his neatly staged escape he is picked up by a voung lady (Miss Bacall), who had followed his trial in the. newspapers. The dialogue which is adapted from David Goodis’ novel of the same title, offers some excellent moments for the star. Miss Bacall is .cast in a sympathetic role. She discards the slinky tvpe of role which introduced her to the screen, for that of a very sincere young woman. Supporting the stars are Bruce Bennett, Agnes Moorehead, Tom D’Andrea and Clifton Young. Regent Shows Now Showing: “The Adventures of Robin Hood,” starring Errol Flynn, Olivia de Havilland.
