PLAZA
‘ 7HE NIGHT RIDE” “The Night Ride,” now playing at the Plaza Theatre, stars Joseph Schildkraut in his first straight role in a smashing story of gang-land and the American newspaper game, a topnotch picture moving with high-gear speed and filled to the last inch of film with drama and suspense. Schildkraut, as a “dude” star reporter, is marked for death on the night of his wedding by a gunman, played by Edward G. Robinson, well known New York actor, who was imported from Broadway for the role. Schildkraut is “taken for a ride”— gangland’s way of disposing of its enemies—and the picture works rapidly to a thrilling and unexpected climax. Winsome Barbara Kent is seen as Schildkraut’s bride and adds a romantic, feminine touch to this highly dramtic picture. Others who turn in splendid performances are Harry Stubbs, as Schildkraut’s reporter pal. and De Witt Jennings, as a police captain. If you like thrills and a fast-moving story don’t miss “The Night Ride.” It's different from other pictures of its type, and is doubly impressive, because of its accuracy of character and setting.
