Outstanding young American Howard Hughes, who's become an almost legendary figure because of his movie and aviation exploits, returns to the film field after eight years with a colorful, lavish new picturizarion of the life of Billy the Kid. Hughes "discovered" two unknowns: 19-vear-old beauty, Janc Russell, and 21-vear-old Jack Beutel, for the vouthful romancers in his film, with veteran Walter Huston to bolster up the acting department. Don't be surprised if Jane and Jack turn into full-fledged screen stars — for remember, it was Hughes who first starred Jean Harlow in "Hell's Angels," and gave Paul Muni and George Raft their great roles in "Scarface." At right, Walter Huston as he appears in his role of frontier sharpshooter in "The Outlaw." Below, the two thrilled kids, Jack Beutel, former recepriomsr in a doctor's office, and lane Russell, Van Nuys High School graduate, who make their first screen appearances in the same picture. For the record, Jane is five feet, seven inches tall, has brown hair and eyes, and — oh. look and see for yourself!
