STANDARD STOVE OiL ina { Penny o NEW COMEDY T0 ~ OPEN TOMORROW ON CAPITOL BiLL A custard pie is a better bandit- stopper than a blazing bullet! Upon that novel premise, Colum- bia is said. to have hung one of the most delightful Westerns ever filmed, “Go West, Younz Lady, which packs mirth, music, melo- drama and oomph into a motion picture entirely new and novel Singleton, Glenn Ford and Ann Miller top the featured cast of the comedy, which opens to- morrow at the Capitol Theatre Miss Singleton takes a brief sab- batical from her popular appear- ances as ,“Blondie,” to appear in ‘Go West, Young Lady” as the lovely young heroine who tosses off pie or a song with facile aban- don, who handles a six-gun or a dance routine with delightful ease. As her romantic lead, Glenn Ford tops even his superb performance in the recent, and only a bit boisterous, “Texas.” Ford is as the gun-totin’ frontier marshal whose efforts to round up Pecos Pete, the worst villain west of the Mississippi, lead to one blithe com- edy situation after another, and the toe-twinkling Miss Miller com- ports herself with lovely graceful- ness as the dance hall entertainer who is Pecos Pete's prettiest aide. From all of which it may be gathered that “Go West, Young Lady” is slightly “different.” Ac- cording to ecstatic Hollywood com- ment, it’s as different and as de- lightful as “Here Comes Mr. Jor- dan.” a less seen CIRCULATING HEATER STANDARD BURNER DILS Healthful warmth on the chilliest days — spreading to every part of the room — clean, uniform and inexpensive.
