TR - : "MAIN - EVENT™ QPENS TONIGHT | AS CAPITOL HIT "The Lonemger/’ New, Serial Also fo Be Shown I | A tensely dramatic story, fo('ussmg’ attention upon the racketeer in-| | vasion of the sporting world, may be | found at the Capitol Theatre, where | “The Main Event” opens tonight.| The film, a Columbia production featuring Robert Paige and Jacque- line Wells, has for motivation the | kidnapping of a heavyweight cham- | | pion the night he is to defend his | title. Paige and Miss Wells, the latter | emerging as an outstanding comedi- | | enne, presents a delightful romantic | combination in the principal roles, ‘Patge as the detective who takes | |and breaks the case, and Jacqueline | as his dizzy girl friend. l The kidnapping of the boxer and | of the young heroine, thrilling ichases, several battle royals, gun-| play, apd a most exciting speedboat rescue are among the action factors of “The Main Event.” The film shaws, too, the necessity for locating | and rescuing the champ before “The | Main Event” takes place, since thou- | sands of fight fans anxiously await the bout. The new picture provides an unusual climax, as well as hilari- ous comedy relief. “The Lone Ranger,” Republic’s fifteen episode chapter-drama, open- ing tonight at the Capitol Theatre, brings to the screen one of the most elaborate western serials ever pro- duced. The picture itself is based on his- torical background, the setting for all action taking place in the ro- mantic West, during the reclama- tion of Texas immediately following the Civil War.
