He| - CAPITOL THEATRE Arabian Nights Romance, | Breath-taking Adventure | Filmed in Flaming Color } Spectacle, at its most brilliant, |and exotic scenes, of Arabian Nights magnificence, are unfolded in the Royal Procession sequences |in Alexander Korda's Technicolor | enture romance, “The Thief of Bagdad,” which is slated to start| a run at the Capitol Theatre to- morrow night through United Ar- tists release. Directed by Ludwig Berger and Michael Powell, “The | Thief of Bagdad"” stars Sabu, Con- rad Veidt, June Duprez and John, | Justin. Miss Duprez, who is starred as a gorgeous Eastern princess, is naturally the highlight of this pro- cession, which was reproduced for “The Thief of Bagdad" exactly as it used to take place in Basra hundreds of years ago. The proces- sion moves dramatically over the Basra Bridge, preceded by twelve native archers, who run on ahead of the entourage to shoot those who |lingered too long—for it was the ancient custom of the city to in- flict immediate death upon those |who dared to gaze upon the beauty of the Princess of Basra Next came 18 native riders who ride madly across the bridge at breakneck speed, and as the dust disappears a beautiful sight is re- vealed—sixteen barefooted Indian musicians dressed in white and playing weird native instruments herald the approach of the Prin- Four giant negrces carry a howdah in which sits the cheetah, an animal the sie zof a leopard, wearing a jewelled collar; dozens of donkeys, carrying gilded cages of parrots; hor: with lovely girls |carried in decorative panniers; and |a pink elephane. In the back of the pink elephant rides a Mahout and the lovely Prin- cess, garbed in silken robes and a pink turban. At the elephant’s tail walks a baby elephant, followed by (thirty girls carrying fans and gailev colored poles topped with real peacock plumes Aleda Warner, Phoebe Ann Logah, !Gloria Anderson, Betty Pike and EEuddy Pike | Entertaining throughout, “it was |Just all good,” was the general comment heard following the pro- {duction. The solo numbers by Billy |Logan and the several dance num- |bers are deserving of special men- tion Mr. Oberg, who directed the op- eretta, desires to thank those who helped in various ways with its success, particularly the mothers with the costumes. | Lkl P, MEETING OF COUNCIL IS POSTPONED SECOND TIME |to make up its mind about a win- | TONIGHT and AT I0TH CENTURY} wpen NIGHT “Christmas in July” Is New Hilarious Comedy Opening Tonight “Christmas in July,” which opens tonight at the 20th Century | Theatre co-starring Dick Powell lnnd Ellen Drew, is the second pic- ture to be written and directed by Preston Sturges. His first picture was “The Great McGinty,” a poli- tical comedy that was hailed wita enthusiasm throughout the country as a masterpiece His current picture is another equally hilarious farce developed from a simple story of a boy and, girl in love trying to get enough money ahead to get married. The| hero is addicted to solving na- tional contests as a short road fof fame and fortune. He has never won one, but figures that every- one he loses makes his chances sc much greater the next time. Some practical jokers send him a wire announcing that he has won | the $25000 slogan contest for a natiohally known brand of coffee. Taking the wire to the president of the company he collects the check, although the committes| judging the entries is still trying ner. Armed with the check he goes on | a spending spree, buying presents| for everyone, even the neighbor- hood children. The department| store is unable to cash so large a check but let him have the mer-| chandise on credit. The coffee com- | pany president finds his mistake, | notifies the store and both proceed with haste to his home. It is im- possible to get the presents back, but the coffee executive does get| his check and tears it up. How lhey“ get out of this embarrassing situa- | tion makes one of the funniest pic- tures of the year | e, SPECIAL SERVICE CHRISTMAS DAY AT LUTHERAN (CHURCH!
