An American Product’ BLENDED WHISKEY— 32, PRRRECEHZ RANNES PeoR, STARS, BATHING BEAUTIES SEEN, | CAPITOL'S BILL There’s a laugh a minute, a song every other minute, and plenty of romantic hi-jinks in between in M-G-M'’s latest Technicolor musical, “Neptune’s Daughter,” which brings a star-studded cast to the Capitol Theatre. Esther Williams in the kind of costumes which made her famous (swim suits, to you!) and Red Skel- ton impersonating a South Ameri- can polo star, aided and abetted by such laugh-getters as Betty Garrett and Keenan Wynn, the romantic and the rhy- thmic Xavier Cugart and his or- chestra, set the pace for a howling comedy of mistaken identites set against a lush background ot bath- ing beauties, melodic interludes, and polo thrills. Esther Williams plays the owner of the Neptune Swim Suit Com- pany, with Betty Garrett playing her man-crazy younger sister. When Esther’s advertising manager, Kee- nan Wynn, gets the idea of putting on a swim suit fashion show as a finale to an international polc match, Betty makes use of the op- portunity to meet the polo team and captures the heart of its cap- tain. At least, she thinks Red Skel- ton is the team’'s captain, whereas he is actually only a girl-shy mas- seur. The real captain, ot course, Is the dashing Ricardo Montalban and it is he who comes in for Esther’s wrath when she accuses him of try- ing to undermine her innocent sister. ‘The various complications that ensue before who finds out who's who, the by-play of romantic at- tachments and the final slap-happy climax in which Skelton proves him- selves a hero on the polo field make for a story which will have you laughing all the way. WINNING HUSKIES IN BEAR RACE T0 TAKE ON WISCONSIN SEATTLE, May 22—M—A Uni- versity of Washington varsity crew that never let up in its stirring win over California Saturday wasn't letting up today either.
