EDWARD ELLIS IN TITLE ROLE AT SHOW HERE A ManTo Remember” | Ends Tonight at (abik_)l How a benevolent rural doctor, unappreciated and unpaid by penny-pinching flock for more than hero of the hour, is dramatically de- | picted in “A Man to Remember,” screen drama ending tonight at the capitol Theatre, featuring Anne and William Henry. Cast as the kindly country practi- tioner, Edward Ellis’ primary inter- est lies in the welfare of his little ‘commumty rather than personal gain. His ability as a physician wins little respect, except from impover- ished farmers. Houndéd by creditors, and turn- ing his back on bigger opportunities in order to send his son through medical school, Ellis’ life is a humble one indeed, the only ray of sunshine filtering through his existence being his affection for his pretty ward, and his ambition for his son. A community crisis in which an epidemic of infantile paralysis is ready to swoop down on the town is his opportunity for unwittingly achieving the fame he so rig%itly de- serves. His drastic measures to avert the plague bring the citizens to his door—and the reward he never sought. Anne Shirley and Lee Bowman in- troduce the romantic interest in “A Man to Remember,” RKO Radio Picture directed by Garson Kanin. -~ Surprise Shower Last Evening for Mrs. Sam Nelson Given by her mother-in-lgw, Mrs. :J.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal.,” Aug. 10.—Paul Muni is starring in “We Are Not Alone” in which Paul, for the first time in years, will be practically alone—with no beard, no make-up, only a line of a mustache. Don’t want to be unduly optimistic, but it does seem that pictures are splashing through those lengthy credit lines with greater speed. ... Best job of plunging-in-cold, from the first foot of film, was Joe Pasternak’s on “Three Smart Girls Grow Up.” ... Mike Curtiz did it next on “Daughters Courageous.” - . . Both pictures carried the credits, but at the same time gave audiences something to distract them until the local crowd’s con- tractually imposed bows were taken. . . . Pasternak believes credit titles should go at the end of the picture, where they'll mean some- thing—also where the audience can take them or leave them. Eddie Cantor is never speechless about his five daughters. ... But his five daughters were speechless the night Eddie and Ida came in, concealing a guest behind them, with a “com- pany for dinner” announcement. ... The girls lost their voices when Eddie and Ida moved aside, revealing the guest: James Cagney. The tough guy’s photo is on the dresser in each girl's room. . . . At least on the dresser of the unmarried ones. .. . For years they'd been begging papa to bring Jimmy home. That gorilla in Joe Penner’s “The Day the Bookies Wept” advances into the camera lens, as the script says, “beating his huge chest still it roars like a drum and growling in a fearsome manner.” . But the chest-beating and fearsome growling you'll hear will be Academy Award stuff, not run-of-the mill. . . .

And he demonstated—huge fists pounding on his 50-inch chest. . . . (And the little man in the gorilla skin kept his job.” Universal has a story called “They Can't Hang Me” and Co- lumbia is doing a Karloff chiller, “The Man They Couldn't Hang.” ... But the Karloff-er isn't like the U’s story....It's like Warner’s “Return of Dr. X.”—both pictures dealing with erim- inals who have been legally killed then illegally returned to life. Mickey Rooney’s heart (In case 'you care) belongs to Judy Garland—according to the latest publicity bulletins. Part of the authentic approach to the story of “Nurse Edith Cavell” is Gui Ignon a Belgian artist. . . . In the picture he will be seen as one of the condemned Allied “sples.” . .. In real life, as in the picture, he occupied the cell next to the famous nurses's and was present at her trial. . .. He was released, instead of shot, in the aftermath of the furore over Cavell's death. . . . “Most of the time I do not mind working in the picture,” he says, “but in the scene where she is led from the cell—it all comes back terribly.” . . .
