"BLONDIE” HIT SHOWING HERE FOR LAST TIMES Comedy Film at Capitol Theatre Stars Bum- stead Family “Blondie Brings Up Baby” ends tonight at the Capitol. It provides OW PLACE OF JUNEAU Lasi Times Tonite! fans with an astonishingly hectic portrait of family life as lived by that astonishingly hectic family— the Bumsteads! Livelier, funnier and even more refreshingly enter- taining than its formidable trio of previous mirth-provokers, the sensational new Columbia comedy based upon the Chic Young news- paper cartoon strips, merits the laughter and applause so richly ac- corded it by opening-day audiences. The principals vemain the same. Nor could they be improved upon. Penny Singleton is the efficient, energetic Blondie; Arthur Lake, the bewildered, well-meaning Dagwood and Larry Simms, the adorable but slightly careworn Baby Dumpling. Other familiar faces in the melee of mirth are Danny Mummert as Alvin, and Daisy, the canine pal .and confidante of Baby Dumpling. Frank Strayer, responsible for the ‘peedy action and the droll se- quences of the former pictures, again officiates as direc- tor.

And here it is—the idea that will cave so much money and time the studios will be able to ell the dishes and give away the pictures, I'm sitting with a bunch of the boys in' a Warner Bros! ry. We're waiting to hear Bette Davis and Charles Boyer do a love scene over a stretch of some 6,000 smiles, via telephone. Major Nathan Levinson, the sound expert, and Anatole Litvak, the director, are there to see that it comes off. Miss Davis is sun- elf in Hawaii, where it's 10 a. m., and Mr. Boyer is not g himself in New York, where it's' 4 p. m. (B. D.'S. T) and probably snowing. Miss D. and Mr. B. made a picture called “All This, and Heaven Too” and then skipped town, after which the tudio discovered with alarm that a section of sound track had heen marred in the laboratory, necesitating re-recording. wood Sights ZAind Sounds By Robbin Coons. labor ning her sunning Well, none of us really believed it, accustomed as we are to these horrible hazards of picturemaking and their ingenious solutions in the publicity department. We don’t really believe, for tance, that the sound track ever was scratched, and we don't really believe that any words Miss D. or Mr. B. can transmit trans-oceanic telephone will be worth recording. Not Miss D.’s, rate. Mr. B’s might get by because Mr. B. frequently S CAFE ILL NIGHT sTorP at PERCY'S ANY TIME for Dinners. or. Light Lunches that all Juneau is talking about. TRY OUR }‘OUN TAIN, TOO! - * counds-as if he spoke over a long connecmon even when he’s on a sound stage. As you probably heard, the'thing didn't come off. They cabled the neecssary lines to Bette, but they let poor Charlie dig up his own script in New York. And Charlie had a temporary revised final script, while Bette had a’final-final-final revised one, and they couldn’t hit it off. Anyway, it was fun, and it's important now because that's how T got this' Big Idea, which will practically do away with siudios entirely. This will automatically cut down the over- head: the sound stages can be used to house Hollywood Red meet- ings, which will make everything convenient for Mr. Dies to trap them all at once; the studio employees can go on relief, as a few more on the rolls won't make any difference, will it, Mr. Well, the Big Idea is that we do ALL our pictures by tele- phone. Miss Davis won't ever have to come back from Honolulu, and Mr. Boyer can stay in New York. You can see what a change this would make in Hollywood’s more abundant life. Miss Davis, so long as she had a pay station handy, could go on. winning awards. If she were romping with her Scottie, Tibby, or giving a baked bean supper, she merely would have to excuse herself briefly while she told the telephone she loved it. There's one little detail I haven't worked out, and that’s how to get the pictures to'go ‘with'the' voices.
