©IF ^TSaS 3' THE OKLAHOMA KID ... Is there anything more natural but that the baddest of all gangdom's bad men — Cagney — should be transplanted to the lawless west of old with a set of blazing irons in his hands? It seems that the ever-alert Warner Brothers don't miss a trick. If good looker Tyrone Power can play Jesse James and get away with it, James Cagney should be a cinch as the terror of Oklahoma! The exhibitors who have long relied upon Jimmy's gangster opuses to give the boxoffice a lift have something to look forward to in this one. "The Oklahoma Kid" will pull a gun and blaze away as fast as any city killer you've ever seen. But he's no mere outlaw. There is some justice on his side, for profiteering villains are seeking to El IBS Steal the land owners' properties And, more personally, didn't they wrongly accuse his father of murder and lynch him! So it's a vengeful, daring Oklahoma Kid who dashes about the countryside striking terror into the hearts of his enemies. They have wisely spotted Cagney's arch rival in gangdom opposite him again — Humphrey Bogart, Rosemary Lane is the girl he loves. There appear to be all the elements of saleable film merchandise in "The Oklahoma Kid" ! A Warner Bros. Picture Cast: James Cagney, Rosemary Lane, Humphrey Bogart, Donald Crisp, Edward Pawley, Trevor Bardett, Granville Bates, Harvey Stephens Directed by Lloyd Bacon Produced by Sam Bischoff Release date: March II
