SPECTACULAR AND NOVEL
• CROSS COUNTRY CRUISE 1 FOR STRAND
What is said to be one of the most startling " crashes ” ever seen on the screen occurs in ‘ Cross Country Cruise,’ the comedy-drama which will open on Friday at the Strand Theatre, with Lew Ayres in the starring role. A giant passenger bus, in which a criminal is fleeing from officers of the law, careers at breakneck speed along a road in the desert, when suddenly an airplane 'bearing the officers lands in the road ahead of it and blocks the way.
Without slackening its pace the bus crashes headlong into the plane and hurtles into an irrigation ditch. And Alan Dinehart, the murderer, is not the only passenger on the bus, for it also carries June Knight, whom he has forced to accompany him as a hostage. This is only one of the exciting scenes in this modern screen drama, which follows the adventures of the bus from the time it leaves New York City until it completes its run in San Francisco. ‘ Cross Country Cruise ’ was directed by Eddie Buzzell, and the cast supporting Lew Ayres includes not only Miss Knight and Dinehart, hut also Alice White, Minna Gombell, Eugene Pailette. and many other favourites.
