The film which ends tonight at the Capitol Thea- tre, co-stars Melvyn Douglas and Joan Blondell, the brilliant prin- cipals of the sensational “There Always a Woman.” Good Girls Go to Paris” finds major entertainment values in the affairs of a young English- | man, professor of Greek at a mid- | western university, who finds in jvhu Aesop fables the answers Lo {the many perplexities he encoun- ters in American life; and in the apades of a pert, blonde wait- ress who has every intention of |going to Paris but whose consci- | Comedy its | ence prevents her from going via/ the “gold-digger” route Food | Girls Go to Pariss” is the story of a crotchety multi-millionaire whose | hypochondriac tendencies are van- quished when the waitress comes | to the rescue with a flannel stoc ing; it the story of a spoiled young woman, the Englishman’s fi- |ancee, who loves the butler's son |1t is the story of a spoiled young [.nzm and of a gigolo, and of al gangster.

Jan. 30.—-Once upon a park bench near the palace of the Emperor in Constantinople, a boy named Jus- tinan met a girl called Theodora. He was the Emperor's nephew; she was a vuluptuous daughter of pleasure. For a while he lost her, then he won her. They were married and gave the East Roman Empire a fascinating New Deal They built bridges, aqueducts, roads, and shoved the currency off the gold standard. They rewrote the laws, plowed under the ss crops and soon had a riot on their bejeweled hands. Fourteen hundred years later, I heard about them and did a book, “Theodora, The All Gifted.” Ten years ago a producer of movies read it and chirped, “Too many hot spots—anyway, his- torical romance is no good for the screen. Only school teachers come to see it.” “But,” T argued, “De Mille—" “He does it with bath tubs. HOLLYWOOD, Cal., ex Mack Sennett did it better.” Four years ago a rotund, jovial Hollander named Hollings- head went to Bryan Foy at Warner Brothers with an original idea for historical pictures to be made in technicolor. “Sounds okay,” said Foy. “Take your best shot on it, but, remember, that technicolor film costs bales of folding money.” s il & “HYEICOME! That fa\!r: reception charming hostessess give thoughtful guests who bring gifts of delicious Van Duyn Candles. Little attentions make you & "must come" guest. Try it} FRESH ” cuocouwll VAN DUYN CHOCOLATI SHOPS In July, 1936, Hollingshead produced “The Song of a Nation,” dramatically presenting the colorful story of Francis Scott Key’s writing of “The Star Spangled Banner.” The critics raved. The public flocked to see it. “Holly” had captured the historic event in two reels of beautifully colored film. ‘That began Warner’s program of dramatizing the ideals of Americanism on the screen. Other featurettes followed: “Give Me Libert “The Man Without a Country,” “The Declaration of Independence,” “Sons of Liberty,” “The Monroe Doctrine,” and others. For three years the Technicolor Featurettes have won Academy Awards. NOw AT Perey’s exclusively There is no boy-meets-girl formula in the Featurettes. The vivid, exciting and authentic characters of Patrick Henry, Alex- ander Hamilton, Robert E. Lee, Clara Barton—founder of the Red Cross — and a host.of others live again the magnificent dramas written by life itself. History has become vital, real, ex- citing and very interesting. Because of one man's oiginal idea and another man’s faith, more than 6,000 theatres today are thrilling their audiences with the historic march of America into the world’s foremost position of prestige and happiness. “De Mille did it with bath tubs.” Hollingshead does it with color. And so successfully, that a teacher who asked a pupil, “Who wrote the Declaration of Inde- pendence?” received the reply, “John Litel. I saw him do it at the State Theatre” e
