" Adventures in Washing- fon” with H, Marshall, i | i The swift cxcitement oi Wash- | ington today has been captured by Director Alfred E. Green in Co- | lumbia’s new romantic drama, “Ad- | |venture in Washington.”. Thrill- | [filled new film cpening at the | Capitol Theatre tomorrow, “Adven- ture in Washington” stars Herbert | Marshall and Virginia Bruce, with splendid supporting cast headed |by young Gene Reynolds, new boy ar A scandal in Congress provides a major portion of the film's sus- penseful narrative, with Marshall appearing as the junior Senator | from New York, and Miss Bruce cast as a radio reporter with all the “get-that-story” determination of her journalistic brothers and sisters. Looming equally large are| the Senate page boys, and young| Reynolds in particular. As the Senator, Marshall con-| i tributes a performance both dig- nified and human, one which is invested with all the polish and suavity which has made him su' popular a player. Miss Bruce is| equally at home in her wise-crack i ling role, and particularly delight- ful when she broadcasts with light- ning breathlessness the news of the day, in a manner faintly satiric of present-day airwaves commentators. |As the misjudged and misguided Senate page boy, young Reynolds richly deserves his increasing prom- inence among Hollywood's “young- |er set,” the kids who are the stars| of today as well as of tomorrow. “Trail of the Vigilantes” will be| seen for the last times tonight. — MERIT SYSTEM SUPERVISOR IS - ANNOUNCED HERE | Curtis Shattuck Reappoint- ed as Result of Recent | Examinations | | G QONNNANN i I i SKINNY ENNIS | AND HIS BAND STRANGER THAN FICTION il !
