ON THE SCREEN TO-DAY

"MIDNIGHT TAXI"

"The play's the ching" has evidently been the director's motto in producing "Midnight Taxi" which follows "Under the Red Robe" to-day at the Cathay. A fast-moving, raw-edged thriller dealing with) a big cit underworld, it would be difficult to replace any player with one more suitable to the role he fills. Brian Donlevy is a "G-Man" sworn to expose a ruthless band of counterfeiters. Fiances Drake is the tough, but sympathetic queen of the gang. other members of which are Alan Dinehart, Sig Rumann and Gilbert Roland. Tense, gripping drama all the way, "Midnight Taxi" measures up to the best in this class of picture.
