Rosalind Russell, Brian Aherne and Janet Blair are starred in the comedy, which opens Sunday at the Capitol Theatre for a 3-day run. The stellar supporting cast includes George Tobias, Allyn Joslyn, Mi Jeff Donnell, Havoe, Donald MacBride, Sully, Gordon Jones, ell, Elizabeth Patterson and others of equal importance. Miss Russell and Miss Blair are the two sisters, Ruth and Eileen, who come to New York to win| fame and fortune as author and actress respectively. Ruth is a rea- sonably level-headed individual; her kid sister is a blonde and dev- astating young woman, who man- ages to get into one difficulty after another. Both sisters complicate their life in New York by choosing, as residence, a Greenwich Village basement apartment which be- comes the happy hunting ground of every wolf in New York! The sensational success of the screen version of “My Sister Eileen” is attributed by Hollywood to its superb cast and madly merry story of the two curious maidens from Columbus, Ohio, and the things they saw and the things they did in Manhattan's Greenwich Village.
