they skitch psychiatrists to analyse the other. N.B. allegedly based on Tallulah
Bankhead the actress. Leif Erickson and Virginia Gregg. $40.00.
“CHAMPAGNE FOR CAESAR” 1950 comedy. Showcases the comic talent of
Vincent Price and Ronald Colman in one of the best screwball comedies to come from
the tail end of Hollywood's golden age. These are not two names commonly associated
with comedy but as this movie shows they should have been. $50.00
“THE ADVENTURES OF DON COYOTE” 1947. Western. The character Chito
Gonzalez Bustamonte Rafferty ("The Irish in me is for fight; the Mexican for
love!")was Richard Martin's bread and butter role in a large number of "B" films.

censors of 1935? An opium-addicted choirmaster develops an obsession for a young
beautiful girl and will not stop at murder to have her. From Charles Dickens last
unfinished book. $60.00
"GIRLS ON PROBATION" 1938 drama. Despite the title
"Girls"- is quite good. Being from Warner Brothers,
naturally the cast is first rate. Jane Bryan, as Connie is the
star in strife and backed up with a sterling cast of Sig
Ruman as a tyrannical parent, and with Ronald Reagan
and Susan Hayward in an early role. $50.00
"GIRLS DORMITORY" 1936 romantic drama. Herbert
Marshall and Ruth Chatterton star in this film, & is the
early part of Tyrone Power's career. But it's Simone
Simon's movie. In her first film role, she has that
mystique of Garbo with the allure of Dietrich.
Her innocence is not overdone and she gives a very
effective and sincere performance as a dreamer in love
with the schoolmaster, Herbert. $40.00.
