PAVILION, SELSEY. STARRING Van Heflin, "PATTERNS OF POWER," Is the story of the constant bickering and ruthless competition in the world of big business. "NIGHTMARE," a tense thriller-drama, has a top-class cast which includes that veteran and past master of the art of horror—Edward G. Robinson. He follows up his recent tough roles with an unusual performance co-starring with Kevin McCarthy, who portrays a jazz musician, and Connie Russell. one of America's leading vocalists. The theme of the is film is the frenzied search of a man, driven by a strange inner compulsion, to uncover a mystery which might lead him to the electric chair. All the intrigue and corruption of the dirty fight racket from New York To 'Frisco is powerfully brought to the screen in "THE HARDER THEY FALL." starring Humphrey Bogart and co-starring Rod Steiger and Jan Sterling. Featured in the hard-hitting expose of the fight racket are Mike Lane as Toro Moreno, former title-holders Max Baer and Jersey Joe Walcott. and Edward Andrews. "The Harder They Fall " reportedly gives Bogart his most power-packed role, as an out-of-work sports writer who pretends to join a crooked betting syndicate when it tries to ballyhoo a glass-jawed man mountain into a million dollar gate and a heavyweight championship fight. The harrowing ordeal of a frontier town terrorized by outlaws hunting the carefully hidden loot from a bank hold-up, is the promising material of "FURY AT GUNSIGHT PASS." starring David Brian, Neville Brand, and Richard Long.

"GLORY" launches the new career of Margaret O'Brien, who essays her initial grown-up role as a star following a five - year absence from the stage. This is the story of America's most colourful spectacle sport, horse-racing, and of the equally colourful men and women who have created the fascinating traditions of the turf. Co-starred with Margaret O'Brien are Walter Brennan and Charlotte Greenwood. The campaign which the fiery Pancho Villa waged to free the Mexican people from the yoke of tyranny provides one of the most fascinating pages in the history of Mexico. Out of Villa's fabulous saga comes "THE TREASURE OF PANCHO VILLA," which stars Rory Calhoun, Shelley Winters and Gilbert Roland. The film stems from the legend that the Mexican revolutionary secreted vast sums of gold in the rugged mountain country of Northern Mexico during his campaigns.
