New Racing Film Stars Poppf TV Favorites Management of the Altamont Ma- sonic Theatre announces that the fea- ture advertised for Saturday, Mar. 30, will not be screened. The man- agement feels . that the substitute feature, \Racing Blood,\ is a superior film. ^ t » . Bill Williams and Jimmy Boyd, two popular television stars, and Jean Porter, pretty Hollywood lum- inary, head the cast of \Racing Blood,\ a thrilling story of thorough- bred horse racing filmed in Super Oinecolpr, Saturday at the Masonic Theatre. Williams, who stars in the \Kit Carson\ TV series every week, has the role of a horse trainer in the new film and Jimmy brings his freckles and twangy falsetto voice to the screen as a stable boy and jockey in the Gateward Pictures production which is being released through Twentieth Century-Fox. Miss Porter takes care of the romantic side of the story. Wesley Barry, formerly one of the silent movies' greatest known kid stars, famed in his day (circa 1920- 1926) for his tousled red hair and freckles, produced and directed \Rac- ing Blood,\ which takes the audience behind the scenes of racing to show how thoroughbreds are born and trained to win big stake races. Many of the scenes were filmed at a fam- our California stud farm and the big race scenes were run at the fabulous racing plant at Santa Anita, Calif. Young Boyd, who started his sing- ing career with the popular song, \I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus,\ sings' in his popular style in the pic- ture. Altamont Reformed Church Rev. Cornelius J.
