Opera House Finally Tonight: “The Paleface”. Commencing Tomorrow: “Coroner Creek” starring Randolph Scott and Marguerite Chapman. A pulse-pounding Cinecolour Western epic that rips at the emotions with savage fury, Columbia’s “Coronei Creek” commences at th e Opera House tomorrow (Thursday). Starring Randolph Scott as a tight-lipped, cowboy, and Marguerite Chapman as a beautiful daughter of the West, “Coroner Creek” is full of thrilling, action-packed sequences. From the bi ass - buckleci “Saturday Evening Post” story of savage, vengeful, and frightened love by Luke Short, Kenneth Garnet has written a screenplay that sizzles with slashing action. Chris Damning (Scott) is a cowboy who goes ‘ gun-crazy with hate directed against the betrayer of his beloved. He hits the trail to find the unknown man, spots him in the lawless town of Coroner Creek, Arizona, and ruthlesly proceeds to destroy him and his empire. Smoking gun-fights, typical of all Westerns, are present in abundance. One in a livery stable, with the opponents on two different floor levels, builds up great suspense. A blood-curdling Indian raid and the climatic clash between hero and villain on top of a tower are other highligncs.
