The picture opens tonight at the Capi- tol Theatre Most of the action of the un- usual film is laid on a little island in the West Indies, where Paul Holland, a sugar planter, lives with his wife, Jessica, and his half- brother, Wesley. Jessica is supposed to be a victim of an unusual tropic fever which has left her unable to speak or think; she is virtually a robot. And it is to take care of her that nurse, Betsy Connell comes; to the island, only to plunge into, a maelstrom of hidden jealousies and furtive enchantments. Conway enacts the role of the! repressed planter and Ellison that of his reckless brother, with Miss Dee as the loyal nurse. Christine Gordon as Jessica, the zombie, and Edith Barrett as the mother of the two men and the real influence be- hind all the drama, head the sup- porting cast of this unique enter- tainment. Brlght comedy-drama studded h gay music is promised in Uni- versn.ls the double bill. The new picture, co-starring Rosemary Lane, Patric Knowles and Evelyn Ankers, deals; merrily with marital mixups, honey- moons and divorce threats, Surprise Shower ~ Given Last Night | For Mrs. G.

Y, May 12.--Gov. Thomas A. Dewey has asserted op- position to poll taxes and ‘“every other device to deprive the free people of: their votes” In a tele- gram to Walter White, Secretary, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in Washington, he said: “I have your telegram concerning the fight against the poll tax now pending in the Senate and my views on the subject are well known, that I have always fought against it.” ‘White telegraphed Dewey asking him to use his “strategic position in the Reublican party” to influ- ence Republican Senators to sup- port the cloture motion which would forestall the Senate filibuster on |the anti-poll tax measure now |pending, which has already passed |the House. | WASHINGTON, May 12—Mn]or-‘ ity Leader Bnrkley paved the way !is cast as the lapartment houses, imove in to find the house Iwhat's holding it up. | couple ——7RIOTOUS COMEDY IS CURRENT HIT AT 20TH (ENTURY\; Uncle Sam has imposed no pri-| orities on laughter, as you are sh(v(l‘ o discover if you p Washington Slept Here ing at the 20th Century The: |As a play it kept New Yorke {laughing, and reports indicate that ‘the motion picture, boasting one ()H the finest casts of this season's crop | lof laugh hits, will carry on k!mU reputation In the leading roles are Jack Benny and Ann Sheridan., Benny average American big reared in comfortable whose wife, an avid antique hunter, ca s mat- ters too far when she buys a house city dweller, iwhere George Washington was sup-| posed to have slept.

Under the Senate rules, two- thirds of the voting Senators are required to put the cloture into effect, thus forstalling the filibus- ter hy southern Democrats against the final vote on the anti-poll tax bill itself.
