Meteor Theatre. —Romance, adventure and a star-studded cast are the unbeatable ingredients that make up Werner Bros, new film, “The Road to ’Frisco,” showing at the Meteor Theatre to-day. Featuring George Raft, Ann Sheridan, Ida Lupino and Humphiey Bogart in an all-star cast, the swiftly paced film packs plenty _of laughs, love and excitement. Joe Fabrini, played by George Raft, is a cold blooded fellow who thinks there isn't a girl in the world who can get him to fall for her. Ho laughs at his brother, played by Humphrey Bogart, when lie tells how he would like to have a job that allowed him to have his evenings free to spend with his wife (Gale Pago’s role). Bogart is bitterly resentful of the fact that his work allows him. to catch only occasional glimpses of his wife and is tortured when other girls remind him of her. Joe always claimed that he did not go in for that romantic stuff. At least ho thought he did not until he met a waitress, played by Ann Sheridan. Ann gives a deeply moving portrayal of a girl whose sentimentality is hidden behind flippant wisecracks. And Raft is great as tho fellow who lets neither her wisecracks nor her love go unanswered.
