& THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 1947 "TENDER COMRADE' FEATURE SHOWING NOW AT CAPITO Timely, convincing, charming and dramatic, “Tender Comrade,” which is at the Capitol Theatre, stars Ginger Rogers in the saga of a woman war worker, her problems, her gaiety, and her courage while her husband is in the American Expeditionary Foree. It is the story of Jo and Chris, likeakle youngsters who grow up gether in Los Angeles, get mar- ried and then find their plans for |the future upset. When the war | ‘omes Chris has to don a uniform jand go overseas. Jo resolutely gets |herself a job In an aircraft fac- ltery and joins a group of th |others who are in a similar situa- tion to carry on in one household The advent of Chris, Jr. and Jo's {dreams of the day when the boy's father will come back, combine to i build the story to a poignant cli- |max, inspiring in its example of | womanly pluck and resignation. As the indomitable Jo, Miss Rog- ers is supported by the popular newcomer, Robert Ryan, who turns in a memorable portrayal as Chris in this, his first romantic part. Rtuh Hussey, Patricia Collinge and Kim Hunter as Ginger's companions, and Mady Christians as their house- kesper, all deliver sharply etched performan as do Jane Darwell and Richard Martin.
