B. Nieding, superintendent of "Service De Luxe” Take two stars, three comedians, and a wealth of production—and literally and figuratively, you've got ‘Service De Luxe, the Universal laugh-maker, seen at the Capital Theatre for the last times tonight. The stars are Constance Bennett and Vincent Price. Perhaps it's a bit early to dub Price a cinema star. It is his first screen effort. But star he is, if a smooth, convincing per- formance, a truckload of personal- ity and a heap of ability makes a star. Miss Bennett, the mercuric Con- | stance, turns in another of her per- | noon dress of hyacinth blue, with fection roles. She plays Helen Mur- phy, the competent manager of a big personal service bureau. Getting down to the comedy ele- ment of the offering, it's there in anopulent degree. Charlie Ruggles, form a threesome that grabs every inch of laugh-making material in the picture. Price is cast as an up-state New York boy who has been bossed so long by maiden aunts that, when he starts for New York to peddle his tractor invention, he vows by all his rural gods that nary another MISS SPAULDING, MR.

Cast: John Garfield, Claude Rains, Priscilla Lane, Rosemary Lane, Lola Lane, Gale Page, Jeffrey Lynn, Fay Bainter, Donald Crisp, May Robson, Frank McHugh, Dick Foran, George Humbert, Berton Churchill, HOLLYWOOD, Cal., July 6.—Last year'’s “Four Daughters” was such a critical and popular success that a sequel of sorts was inevitable. “Daughters Courageous” that it reunites many of the original hit's cast and strives for the same spirit of youthful charm. The four Masters girls (the Lanes and Miss Page) are a gay and active lot. Their mother (Bainter) has been deserted 20 years before by their father (Rains) and now is about to marry the solid, substantial Samn (Crisp) who can give the girls the ad- vantages of his money. Enoch Arden-like, the father Jim returns from his “rendezvous with the universe,” years of yielding to wanderlust. The girls form a “solid front” against him, but one by one succumb to his charm. The mother is on the point of following suit. Buff (Priscilla Lane) meanwhile has fallen in love with shiftless, rude, independent and “charming” Gabriel Lopez (Gar- field) who like Buff's father Jim has the wander-jitters. For Buff, Gabriel is on the verge of settling down to honest toil. But Jim, recognizing a fellow spirit, talks him out of the planned elopement, and' the two leave together, with Buff thrown back on s a sequel only in the sense ‘Snow Tied with Peferson MARQUARDT IN LEAGUE LEAD; BAT AVERAGE in Homers, Has Fine Batting Record Official scorer for the Gastineau Channel League Gil Prucha re- leased batting averages to date that show Fred Marquardt Moose short- stop, is leading the loop with an | average of 425, replacing Bill Ko-‘ shak, of the Elks, who has s!lpped‘ | from 500 bracket to .405 in second | place.

Cast: Shirley Temple, Randolph Scott, Margaret Lockwood, Martin Good Rider, J. Farrell MacDonald, Maurice Moscovich, Moroni Olsen, Victor Jory, Lester Matthews, Leyland Hodgson, Herbert Evans, Jack Luden, Charles Irwin, John Sutton. “Susannah” is standard Temple stuff, helped somewhat by picturesque outdoor settings and some real Indians. (We'll skip Maurice Moscovich as Chief Big Eagle; many of the others are real Black Feet from the reservation.) Shirley is the ward of a Mounted post in the wilds, and when Bad Injun Victor Jory precipitates a warpath fling, it’s Shirley who goes to the rescue and saves Randy Scott from torture.
