TRIUMPHS AT CAPITOL SHOW Grand Opela Star, Lily Increases Lead with Aid of Pons, Goes Popular in ‘Hitting New High’ Dealing in joyous fashion with the efforts of a young French sing- er to win operatic recognition through an ingenlous hoax, petite| Lily Pons' new vehicle for RKO Ra- | dio, “Hitting a New High,” tonight at the Capitol, brings a riotous mu- sical and comedy triumph for the diva, with Jack Oakie as her co-| star. With John Howard opposite the famous singer, and Eric Blore and Edward Everett Horton in added comedy support to Oakie, the film is said to be one of the year's de- lightful offerings. Its seven sang numbers, ranging from modern tunes to classic arias, and its many hilarious complications all make for a highly entertaining film, the third in the little French soprano’s car- The dual theme of the story re- volves around Miss Pons’ ambitions to sing in opera. A chanteuse in a | Parisian night club, she breaks off | her romance with the band leader, Howard, and endeavors to get a hearing from Horton, a millionaire big-game hunter and the principal | financial backer of a New York, opera company. | Horton refuses to see her; he is lon his way to Africa after lions. But his press agent, Oakie, plots | with Miss Pons te bring her to Hor- | ton’s attention in a unique manner. | She precedes the party to the Afri- can jungle and lets Horton “dis- cover” her as she pretends to be a | bird-girl,” a shipwrecked waif who has grown up among the birds and ! | has learned from’them how to sing.| | The outcome of this scheme leads| |to many delightful mishaps that \ | keep the story moving at a swift| pace. e CUBS WIN TO CLIMB UP IN NATL, LEAGUE | Yankees Holj:l—;) Lead when Defeat Senators in 10- Inning Contest (By Associated Press) Lonnie Warneke pitched a 4-hit- ter for the Cardinals yesterday against the Pittsburgh Pirates while Johnny Vander Meer, the Cincin- |nati’'s ace, was belted by the Cubs. | The Cubs, by the win, climbed | within a half game of the Giants |who were given a neat going over | by the Boston Bees.
