EXPLOITATION PICTURE of tit issue "ABILENE TOWN" Where Guns Blaze Abilene, Kansas, Is the birthplace of General Dwight D. Eisenhower and the United Artists publiciteers are not overlooking that fact. But the story of Abilene Town is of another era — the days just after the Civil War when the law of the town resided in the trusty, fast-shooting pistol of a fearless marshal. This Jules Levey production is stocked with all the familiar ingredients of a rip-roaring, bigscale western — the smilin" straightshootin' marshal, the gamblin' hall gal with heart of gold, the ruthless cattle barons, the persecuted homesteaders, et al. — moving at the pace of crackling sixshooters and played against a panorama of wide open spaces. It offers a field day for the action-house showmen. I Si<>r\ on \p.xt Pane > The gent with the six-shooter talking is Dan Mitchell (better known to you as Randolph Scott), the cool-as-a-cucumber marshal of tough Abilene, Kansas. The gambling house gal in his arms below is Ann Dvorak.
