TECHNICOLOR CARTOON “The Cat That Hated People” NEW Issue Warner Pathe NEWS WISE—COME EARLY RED SKELTON IN HILARIOUS FILM, CAPITOL THEATRE If all tattles were like the ones fought by Red Skelton in “A Southern Yankee,” -t the Capitol Theatre Sunday, wars would be a pleasure, For there never has been as fun- ny a soldier as the one portrayed ‘by M I's unrivaled comedian in this howling travesty of Aubrey Fil- more, the bungling and blundering Lellhop determined to become a member of the Unjon’s Secret Ser- vice and to track down the South’s | most dangerous and elusive spy, the Gray Spider. When circumstances entirely be- yond his control enable Aubrey to capture’ the Gray Spider in a St Louis hotel bedroom, the Secret rvice is forced against its will to enlist the aid of Aubrey and, dis- guised as the Spider, he is sent on a mission to Confederate headquart- ers at Morgan’s Landing to supply a Southern general with false in- formation about an impending bat- tle. ‘The ingenious and devious means by which he crosses the Confeder- ate lines in the midst of roaring cross-fire, his uproarious experiences in an evacuation hospital where he is mistaken for a victim of shell | shock, the ruses by which he makes himself out to be' the greatest hero of the Civil War to an admiring Southern belle, and his final expose under hilarious circumstances, make for one of the most original and up- roarious comedies ‘the screen has offered in a long time. New Ring Star Glows But Match Beclouds Detroiter’s Victory DETROIT, Oct. 22— —East side Detroit, which gave Joe Louis and Sugar Ray Robinson to the boxing world, had a new fistic star to- day—a clever young negro welter- weight named Lester Felton. Felton’s star was beclouded, how- ever, by circumstances surrounding his upset victory over the highly regarded Kid Gavilan of Cuba in a 10-round fight at Olympia last inight. Uproar followed. The 20-year-old Detroiter was |awarded a severely criticized split decision after he outran Gavilan for practically the entire 10 rounds before 13,184 fans who paid a gross gate of $29,750. Gavilan at 1456% had a half pound advantage. Gavilan, ranked as the No. 1 contender for Robinson’s welter- weight crown, was a 3-1 favorite at ringside, but he spent practi- cally the whole fight in a futile effort to corner Felton. Chairman Floyd Stevens of the Michigan Boxing Commission was iat ringside and he indicated the | Commission would make a study of the fight result. "YOU WERE MEANT FOR ME' TONIGHT AT 20TH CENTURY Tue neg'aleic appeal of a story set in those ‘“terrific Twenties” when girls were flappers, boys were shieks, and everyone was doing ihie Charleston, wasn’t lost on the stars of “You Were Meant For Me,” the new Twentieth Century-Fox com- | edyromance which is unfolded | against the colorful era of the 1920's, at the 20tk Century Theatre tonight, . Jeanne Crain, of course, doesn't remember much about it. She was a flapper and a flirt, mayte, but a fo ar-old one, getting ready to start school. Dan Dailey, her co-star in the film, and who portrays a bandleader idol rivaling Rudy Vallee, was in his teens, just getting ahead as a vaudeville and burlesque hoofer. Dan had made his first stage ap- | pearance at the age of six, and by 11929, he had quit school and tried to break into show business the hard way. It was the turning point in his life. The year’ 1929 also mark- ed the turning point for Oscar Ie- vant, who had made his first stage appearance in “Burlesque,” and was signed with Barbara Stanwyck to repeat his role in the movie version. “Any similarity,” he says, “was pure coincidence.” But anyway, the picture . brought Levant to Holly- wood, where he remained to do sev- eral musical scores. Barbara Lawrence, who appears as Jeanne's chum, had the least to say about her reminiscences. “I was just being born,” she said. Barbara and Jeanne, however, were atle to join the others in a full and rich appreciation of the spirit of the times as reflected in | its music. COAST HOCKEY 'LEAGUE BY ASSOCIATED PRESS The San Francisco Shamrocks are back in the lead of the south- ern division of Pacific Coast Hockey League today.
