CIVIC THEATRE
DOUBLE FEATURE BILL I Pat O'Brien, who has had many j bough iights on the screen, devised lohe toughest one of his career for 'himself in his own production, ]"Secret Command," which he and | Phil Ryan made for Columbia jrelease. Pat' big battle with the jheavy in this picture takes place j under water. Before shooting the scene, the star went diligently to work wion exercises calculated to increase his ability to hold his breath under water. "Secret ComSmand," co-starring Carole Landis jwitn O'Brien, shows at the Civic |Tneatre tomorrow and Friday in a jgrand double feature bill. Sparkling with gay songs and paced by lively dance routines, Universal's "Patrick the Great" is the other attraction. This bright new picture, however, brings more substantial entertainment than might be expected in a musical screen drama. The plot is solid and arresting from beginning to end. Its players are competent and well chosen. The stars are Donald O'Connor and Peggy Ryan, two cf Hollywood's outstanding youthfui performers.
