Wilson EDDIE CANTOR IS GOMIC HERD OF ‘KID FROM SPAIN' ILyda Roberti Heads Fine Supporting Cast in Amusing Role Eddie Cantor, in “The Kid from Spain,” began its engagement at the Capitol Theatre yesterday. It is Samuel Goldwyn's annual pres- entation of Cantor song-and-dance, following last year's “Palmy Days” and “Whoopee” the year before. In “The Kid from Spain,” Eddie marches out, neither bravely nor willingly, to show his skill and grace as a matador. Escape from the police who are pursuing him, protection from the Mexican thugs about to put him on the spot, the adoring eyes of the elongated blonde sex menace, and solving hi: roommate’s difficulty in love affairs | are all among the reasons that bolt Eddie into the arena in the thrill- ing, colorful climax to the story. It is a role in which the weak- kneed, docile, helpless, beady-eyed Eddie is funny in a Chaplinesque magnificence. Songs Real Hits Songs that you will have trouble | escaping, the smiling faces and the graceful beauty of a hundred girls, spirited dances and color - and glamour and excitement are all in- gredients of this big production.| SBamuel Goldwyn has done a nice, smooth job of using his girls and his music to top off a story in which comedy seems at times too| fast for comfort. Cantor tops himself as the bounc- ing, bubbling minstrel. Lyda Rob- erts is a wonder as a refrain for his song and as a second for his comedy. An easy grace marks the 1 the Mexican bad men.
