JIMMY STEWART WINS LAUGHS AT CAPITOL THEATRE Not handsome in the so-called “glamour boy” fashion, James Stewart nevertheless is setting a mark for many an up-and-coming young film actor to shoot at. Jimmy is currently playing an unusual comedy role in “On Our Merry Way,” the laugh-filled Bene- |dict Bogeaus-Burgess Meredith | production which plays tonight and | tomorrow at the Capitol Theatre. This tall, slender and almost gawky actor was torn in Indiana, Pa, on a certain May 20th. His | father was a hardware merchant |in the town, and Jimmy's boyhood was quite uneventful. Later he went | to prep school at Mercerburg, Pa., |and then to Prirseton University. His first picture was “The Mur- |der Man,” followed by one of the principal roles in “Rose Marie,” the Jeanette MacDonald-Nelson Eddy hit. In 1938, Frank Capra signed him for the leading male role in | the Academy Award winner, “You Can't Take It With You.” Two years later he won the “Oscar” for the best actor of the year as a result of his performance in “The Philadelphia Story.” Jimmy is six feet, two and a half inches tall, has brown hair and grey eyes, and, until recently, was Hollywood's most eligible bachelor. | ATEC HEAD, WIFE INTOWN ENROUTE ALASKA INTERIO Mr. and Mrs. Willlam Maxey, who were married yesterday in IWrangell by the U.

While still the gag-happy, song- | filled Bing of old, Crosby enacts| the first genuine love story of his career in Paramount'’s “The Em- peror Waltz,” the lavishly gay Technicolor ~ romance - currently dazzling audiences at the 20th Cm)-I tury Theatre. Last showings of the musical-comical-romantical enter- | tainment will be tonight. Joan Fontaine cosstars with Der Bingle in this rapturous hit from the Academy Award winning writ- ing, producing and directing team of Brackett and Wilder, and Joan's Technicolor loveliness may explain somewhat the intensity with which Bing pursues his affairs of the heart in the film, How did Crosby enjoy his ro- mantic role? Well, the film offered him the longest kiss of his screen career, a meeting of lips that iasts for 110 feet of film or one minute and five seconds’ running time. Before Director Wilder was satis- fieq with the scene, Bing and Joan went_through the lengthy buss five times. At the successful conclusion of the sequence Bing turned to the director and quipped: “You can keep my pay for to- day.” HOSPliaL NOTES Admitted to Su. anns Hospital over the weekend were Mrs. Pearl Perry, Francis Sterling, Madeline Schaeffer, Troy Taylor. Discharged were Clarence Beau- chene and Mrs. Svend Hansen. i NOTICE In order to guarantge pub- lication on the desired date, all club and social notes should be received by The Empire by 4 p. m. on the day preceding.
