"ICE-CAPADES" IS THRILLING SHOW AT CAPITOL NOW Enchantment on Skafes Brought in Film with New Stars Sheer enchantment on ice—that is the spell woven by Republic's | “Ice-Capades,” which opens at the Cappitol Theatre tonight, bringing a scintillating galaxy of the world’s skating champions headed by Dor-| othy Lewis whose beauty, charm and skill packed them in for three years running at the Iridium Room of the St. Regis Hotel in New York. ! A brilliant new star is born with the debut of Miss Lewis, for she not only dazzles her audiences with her amazing feats on ice, and her exquisite charm and grace, but she also exhibits marked acting ability, justifying, with flymg col- ors, the faith Republic placed in | her when they entrusted her with | both the skating and the uramatic leads of the film. James Ellison scores in the mas- culine lead, portraying with finesse the young newsreel cameraman who photographs the wrong girl when | igned to cover a skating exhi- bition. His wrong girl proves to| be such a sensation that Jimmy | is obliged to run around in circles ! looking for the skater he thought | he was photographing through a distance lens.
