SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1944 Allbritton Mary Beth Hughes STARTS LAST TIMES TONIGHT ALSO— "WHITE SAVAGE" COMING SUNDAY ""The Old Homestead” with The Weaver Bros. and Eviry || vivid, adventurous entertainment | J 'is heralded in the presentation of s U R D A Y |“White Savage,” one of Universal's !major productions which comes | Sunday to the Capitol Theatre. Fxlmed in Technicolor, the new pl(‘- ture reunites Maria Montez, Jon | |Hall and Sabu, the sensational starring trio of “Arabian Nights.” A South Seas island paradise is the locale of the story, a romantic action tale dealing with plight of an amorous shark hunter who loves the fascinating native princess. Miss Montez appears as the prin- cess while Hall portrays the fisher- 'man. Sabu is seen in the role of | ithe latter's assistant. Others in |the cast include Turhan Bey, ney Toler, Thomas Gomez, | Terry and Paul Guilfoyle. | A conspiracy to obtain control of Ithe island furnishes suspense and excitement and one of the film’s spectacular highlights is a huge | native festival. A highly dramatic climax is said to be thrillingly en- acted while an earthquake lays waste the picturesque structures of a tropical settlement. TROPICS ...BUT Don |CAPT.

Stettinius is a modest fellow, but “Lend-Lease—Weapon For Victory” is his own monument and an im- posing one.
