YWhen Hilarity. Hits the HIGH SPOTS! Gladys GEORGE Ruth TERRY Robert LIVINGSTOM Jack LA RUE HORTON COMEDY IS FEATURE BILL ' TONIGHT, CAPITOL | The comedy flourishes of Edward {Everett Horton and a ‘dramatic tale itold in a light vein are the out- standing ingredients of the film |“Steppin’ In Society” opening to- night at the Capitol Theatre. The main situation of the story is strong on the comedy side. | Horton in a characteristic por- trayal of an austere, uncompromis- ing judge, accidentally stumbles up- on a gang of small-time criminals.| His identity is unknown to the gang and they belicve he is a suc- cessful ngster. The gang ap- points the judge as their leader and he proves to them that “Crime Does Not Pay”. Meanwhile, he gains for himself a more human and sympathetic attitude towards pegple in general. Horton is the dominant figure in the cast and he has many lines which will cause chuckles. Gladys George, the wife of the judge, turns in a good performance. Ruth Terry sings a gay musical number, “If | You'll Like Me Then I'll Like You" which gives an added entertain- ment sparkle to the film. Robert Livingston, Jack LaRue .and Lola Lane lend capable support. The screen play by Bradford Ropes based on a novel by Marcel Arnac is fresh and has an unusual twist which will entertain audien- ces who enjoy light comedy. Joseph Bercholz was the associate produc- er, and Alexander Esway directed. THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA evening communion service at the Lutheran Church.
