Not since “Casablanca,” with which his new Columbia picture must inevitably be compared, has Bogart had so timely and oned a role as that of “Tokyo Joe.” The film which starts Sunday at the Capitol Theatre is a trenchant, turbulent drama, rich in human values and filled with the physical violence which keeps audi- ences tense and expectant. In that respect, and in the colorful, unex- pected background of post-war Japan, “Tokyo Jge” easily is Bogart's greatest screen adventure. Under New Ownership The Spudnut Shop (George Brothers Bldg.)

Now I am a warm | likeable person throughout the story, though still definitely a char- fcter.” ‘Webb's studio, Twentieth Century- Fox, however, feels quite differently about Mr. Belvedere, and at the moment has writers at work on three new Belvedere scripts. And even Webb is very pleased with hi next assignment, “Mr. Belvedere Takes the Rap.” “It's a fine story. {he says. “I play the only holdol jon a jury who is eleven to one for | conviction.
