A decided change in entertainment pace punctuates Robert Bassler’s Technicolor gay and bright production of "A Ticket To Tomahawk”, directed by Richard Sale who not only * directed it, but wrote the story in collaboration with his wife. Wholly filmed in the beautiful 45-mile region Durango and Silvertown, Col. In fact, the entire story concerns the early days when a stagecoach company vainly seeks to prevent a narrow-guage railroad from opening up a new land in Colarado. The story is based on the successful fight of the railroad, led by a hastily deputized marshal, a hard-riding, fast-shooting two-gun girl, aided and abetted by a footloose, glib ex- ^1 singer and dancer turned drummer of mustache civs and magazines. Co-starred in those major roles are Anne Baxter and Dan Dailey, respectively. In “A Ticket To Tomahawk , Miss Baxter adds another splendid performance to her list, for as the naive, but trigger-quick gal sworn to see the first narrow-guage engine through, she, according to all who have seen this picture, tops her role in “Yellow Sky”. The studio wrote in a dance sequence for Dan Dailey, after a poll of exhibitors re- vealed they wanted him to sing and dance at least once in every picture. In "A Ticket To Tomahawk” he is an unwilling champion of the battle against the stage coach monopoly, a victim of circumstances, but, in the end, it is this “green-horn” who brings about victory — and, again, against his wishes, the girl-marshal as his wife. Although definitely a comedy-romance, "A Ticket To Tomahawk” is jampacked with drama, suspense, excitement, Indian fights, intrigue and suprise. Featured in the cast are Walter Rrennan, as the engineer; Rory Calhoun as the outlaw who is head of the stagecoach company's "strong-arm” squad: Connie Gilchrist (who won distinction as Linda Darnell’s mother in“ALetter To Three Wives”)as theowner of a travelling girl-show; Marion Marshall, Chief Thundercloud as an ex-star of a Wild West show; Victor Sen Yung, Lee MacGregor, Charles Stevens, Robert Adler, llarry Carter, Paul Harvey, 150 Navajo Indians and 600 Col- arado citizens pressed into jobs of portraying residents on an old boomtown.
