Western Satire pt Rocket Is Good Fun The Dude Goes West, cur- rent headline attraction at; the Rocket theater is a clever shtire on western super-dupers in which its difficult to determine i whether the audience or the actors have the most fun. Eddie Albert and Gale Storm are starred. on the program is a -j smoothly acted melodrama, Smart Women, starring Con- stance Bennett and, Brian Aherrie. The headline film deals with the adventures of one Daniel Bone, a Brooklyn gunsmith, who gives up his declining business in that metropolis to seek his fortune in the wild west where guns are a part of every well-dressed man's, standard equipmeht. Bones destination is Arsenic City, a town poison to its inhabitants, and en-route he makes the acquaintance of pretty! Liza Crockett who owns a map to the mother lode of the famed Arsenic City mine.

In spite of the fact that Daniel's intentions are honorable it isnt until sevcfral reels and a number of laughs further on that Lizffwill even gdmit she trusts him. Daniel's adventures in the wild west are varied arid hilari-i ous. His encounter with such western characters as Sam, the Pecos Kid and Tecas are as funny as anything you :11 see on the screen ar long tjme; and the sequense in which: he-wins over the hostile Indians is delightful. Albert as the dude perfectly cast and other players turn in equally satisfactory perlorm-t ances with James Gleason and Barton MacLane taking! top honors in the supporting actor category. Smart Wnmfn." ijs a sophisticated showcase for Miss Bennetts brittlq charms and well it should be for that smart woman not only stairs in the film, but acted as producer also.

The movie tells the story of a sophisticated woman lawyer, blackmailed into hewing the crooked politicians or her city although her heart belongs to the special prosecutor who has been summoned to clean up the rackets. That this would promote romantic complications is easy enough for the most uninformed movie fan to ascertain. Miss Bennett is aided by a slick supporting cast which includes Brian Ahern, Otto Kruger, Hatty Sullivan and Michael OShea among others.
