CAPITOL SHOWS DOUBLE FEATURE THIS WEEKEND the Frank Ca- jon co-starring “Broadway Bm. pra comedy ser ‘Warner Baxter and Myrna Loy, which has been hailed in many quarters as the successor to the famed “It Happened One Night,” will have its local premiere at the Capitol Theatre starting tenight Aside from the unique qualities of delightful comedy. whimsy and charming romance with which both films are endowed, the similarity embraces the facts that both were produced by Columbia, directed by Capra, written by Robert Riskin and featured a starring team of ex- ceptional players. “It Happened One Night,” it will be recalled, brought Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert together on the screen for the first time. Also showing is “Reformatory,” starring Jack Holt and one of the “Dead End” kids. During the mak- ing of this picture, Hollywood’s in- sistence upon realism resulted in a painful face injury to Holt, in the role of superintendent to a boys’ reform school. Holt was required to enter the institution's gymnasium, with its signs of neglect, to swing at a punching bag and send it bal- Jooning across the room. The script called for decrepit apparatus, and decrepit apparatus was provided by the property department. When Holt did his swinging, the punching bag exploded, striking him in the face. ——to DR.

The process is under way on a Paramount sound uuo where Robin is portraying “Our Leading Citizen” under direction of Al Santell. Reports from the set, early in production, indicate that Robin found his first brush with Art a disturbing, if not distress- ing, experience. Burns plays a substantial, respected leader of the community in an industrial town where Gene Lockhart, as a wealthy, selfish~ ly benevolent autocrat, pursues policies which bring on labor strife. As such a “leading citizen,” Burns’ hill-billy stuff is “out"—definite- ly. He is made grey about the temples; and he has a grown daughter played by the radiant young Susan Heyward (a Warner Bros. “reject,” incidentally, who has made good in Paramount’s “Beau Geste"). In the character, Bob Burns' affinity for mules and such is gone—definitely, He has no hayseed in his hair, And he has, certainly, no Uncle Fud. Santell, from the first, has been riding hard on the Burns diglogue. He has pounded down on the rising inflections of the hill-billy twang, and he has scotched the tendency toward, “Wall, T'll tell yuh.” Painful though it was, it has given Burns a “dignity” the bazooka never did. However, Bob felt about it at first, by now he is reconciled. “I don’t like slapstick,” he says, “but I do like comedy. I'm still gettin’ off a crack now and then—but I'm stayin’ away from silly stuff like we had in ‘I'm from Missouri.’ That business of me and the mule in the steam bath, now, I didn't care much for. None o’ that in this picture” There have been subversive rumors that Paramount, matern= ally solicitous of its “new Bob Burns,” has tried to persuade him whxch side of tixe bed you get ... dftera breakiast at Percy s you're sare fo be sef for a big, glorious day.... . to modify the hill-billy Burns of the air hnea Bob llyl to it.” “I wouldn’t change my radio character,” he adds, after all, if it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be heré in pi I'm keepin' my radio wnrk apart. ‘That's !ufi once’l’ that reminds me of my Uncle Pud,'—why, pretty soof l have any friends.” Bob puffs solemnly on his pipe, pursues his theme: “N0-0-0 . . . T'll tell yuh. I want comedy. I h -boutwmssmlcnnrmupm my bed and word. And that's sométhin’ Tike thils plctun ‘l‘fll' business, just Iike dyin’ is serious buflpm—b\& BQM 'h’ to be hurt by a little good clean fun.
