GB"E(- HT L2OMENTURY ik Complete S'now. 7:20 and $:30 The s now one of l 1 is told in “Not Wa Century toni row. 1 In Jack Benny’s initial film pro- duction, the trigger-happy mystery | comedy, “The Lucky Stiff,” which | opens tonight at the Capitol The- | atre, there’s a definite change of | film pace. In this uproarious film, | based on the popular Craig Rice | whodunit, it's the women who get | more than their share of rough | treatment, while the man in their | lives, handsome Brian Donlevy, is reated like the proverbial Kking. The women are Donley's co-stars, | Dorothy Lamour and Claire Trevor. i Miss Lamour plays a night-club inger who is not only accused of | mnurder, but tried and sentenced tc i die by electrocution. Poor Dorothy !is sent to prison where she dons 2 i dull prison gown, gets the tradi- im)nad “hairdo” and, finally, makes | the grim march to the chair. Later, | in the interest of the unique plot, | she comes back masquerading as a | lovely ghost. | As for Claire Trevor, she plays { the role of Brian Donlevy’s long- suffering secretary in the film. She’s in love with her boss secretly and | has to coddle him while he carries {a heavy torch for Miss Lamour and >ther lovelies. On the other hand, Donlevy, as the astute attorney-detective, John J Malone, has a fine time. \Fashion Show Next Saturday, Elks Hall Girl Scouts and Brownies are planning their spring outfits to | arade at the Fashion Show and program Saturday afternoon from 2 to 5 o'clock in the Elks hall, Miss Judy Green, general chair- i man, said today.
