Barbara Stanwyck Due In “Red Salute”

FILM OFFERS POPULAR STAR IN FIRST COMEDY PORTRAYAL

(Kosy: Screening 'Wednesday Week.)

Following an absence of six months, during which she took a well earned rest, Barbara Stanwyck returns to the screen in the Reliance comedy, “Red Salute.” Barbara Stanwyck is no longer under contract to one studio, and in future will select her own starring vehicles; She feels it will be much more interesting to work for various companies, primarily because of the opportunity to play diversified roles.

An opportunity of this nature was offered her by producers Harry M. Goetz and ' Edward Small in “Red Salute,” and she readily accepted tho assignment. Instead of her familiar strong emotional roles, Barbara plays a light, breezy, romantic comedy part as Drue Van Allen, a tempestuous college girl with a flair for bizarre escapades. She is quick-witted, trigger-tongued, but withal a loveable creature, as Robert Young, in the role of a young private, discovers in tho course of a fastmoving series of amusing difficulties that ensue when they are stranded' together across the Mexican border. Hardie Albright, Euth Donnelly, Cliff Edwards, Gordon Jones and Paul Stanton head tho supporting cast of this rollicking comedy, which Sidney Lanfield directed.

The screen play was prepared by Humphrey Pearson and Manuel Scff from an original story by tho former. “Red Salute” is. released through United Artists.
