GMKW%* - b IRI.IQES "BOY WITH GREEN HAIR" HELD OVER; As announced yesterday, by pub- lic demand, “The Boy With Green Hair,” is being held over and will be shown tonight, for the fourth day's run, at the Capitol Theatre It has a certain appeal, as is attested by the big attendance dur- ing the past three nights. Beginning tomorrow, and for the one day only, the Capitol will have a double bill, “The Overlanders, and “Leather Gloves.” “The Overlanders” was filmed ir Australia and is the story of the greatest migration of cattle in his- tory, when the Aussies moved theu cattle thousands of miles from Jap- anese threatened area during Worlc War II. The story is interesting from the very start. ‘Take a prizefighter on the skids, {drop him in a Southwest desert | town in which the local “champ” of grandeur, add an attractive wait- ress and a wealthy New York girl for glamour and romance, stir well . . . and you have only the lesser elements which make Colum- bia Pictures’ “Leather Gloves” an exciting feature. The film is based oan a Saturday Evening Post story.
