OPERA HOUSE
“CROSS-COUNTRY ROMANCE” "Cross-Country Romance,” dealing in sprightly fashion with the hectic eoast-to-coast adventures of a penniless doctor who can't rid himself of a beautiful trailer stowaway, brings Gene Raymond and Wendy Barrie to the screen of the Opera House. Cast in a romantic, light-comedy role, Raymond plays a young, newly-graduated doctor who is offered an important medical research job in China. To get there he plans to drive from New York to San Francisco with his trailer and there catch a freighter to his destination. In the role of an impetuous heiress, Wendy Barrie decides she cannot go through with a distasteful marriage. She sheds her wedding gown, makes a miraculous escape from the house, and seeks refuge in a trailer parked nearby. “Brigham Young, Frontiersman” “Brigham Young, Frontiersman," the moving drama coming to the Opera House on Friday, is the story of the wanderings ot the Mormons in America in the 1840's. Persecuted by people from whom all they wanted was tolerance, the Mormons were driven .from State to State until finally they crossed the river into lowa and started the remarkable coveredwagon trek which ended at the shore of Sait Lake. Dean Jagger is brilliant in the title role, which is not easy to act convincingly, and Tyrone Power and Linda Darnell both give fine performances.
