THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, NEW COMEDY OPENS TONIGHT AS CAPITOL BILL Robert You-n; Ruth Hus- sey Play Leads in 'Rich Man, Poor Girl’ There's something funny some- where when a girl won't marry a man because he has a million dol- |lars. The somewhere in this case is {the Capitol Theatre and the some- thing is the laugh riot, “Rich Man, Poor Girl™ which opens a two-day engagement tonight. Robert Young, Lew Ayres, Ruth Hussey, Guy Kibbee, Rita Johnson and Lana Turner are featured in the cast of this enjoyable screen-fare. Young offers his secretary, Miss Hussey, a life of ease, with yachts land country estates and enjoyable evenings in swank cabarets. But sus- | picious of his intentions she refuses | his offer of marriage until he has met her family. When this rich young socialite clashes with Miss Husey's cousin, the wild champjon of the middle classes, as played by Lew Ayres, and the rest of her lov- lable, but comica)] family, the film | begins to sizzle. In a whizzing climax |in which Young threatens to give away all his money the family be- comes reconciled to marrying into a | million dollars and Young gets his girl. | The performance of Young, Ayres and Miss Hussey are exceptionally fine, with capable portrayals being turned in by the rest of the cast.
