;“Gold Diggers of 1933”
with All-Star Cast Comes
to Capitol Tomorrow
“Gold Diggers of 1933” Warner
Bros.' all star, dramatic musical
spectacle, said to be even greater
than ‘‘42nd Street,” as the most
lavish entertainment of the de
cade, opens tomorrow at the Capi
tol Theatre.
A fitting sequel to the sensa
tionally popular picture "42nd
Street,” which started new styles
in screen fare, "Gold Diggers of
1933" according to Hollywood’s in
formation excels its great predeces
sor in beauty, in catchy tunes and
"whistling” music, in comedy and
in its story values. Its list of stars
is even more imposing; the chorus
ensembles, directed by Busby Ber
keley, are more spectacular; its
songs by Harry Warren and A1
Dubin, will appeal to even wider
audiences.
The names of Warren William.
Joan Blondell, Ruby Keeler (Mrs.
A1 Jolson) who sprang to screen
fame over night in “42nd Street,”
Dick Powell, Aline MacMahon, Guy
Kibbee, Ginger Rogers and Ned
Sparks head the superlative cast
ensembled by Warner Bros, for
"Gold Diggers of 1933.”
“Gold Diggers of 1933” is a
“back of the back-stage” story,
a dramatic and amusing insight in
to the lives and loves of the peo
ple primarily responsible for the
staging of a great New York show.
It is an intensely human story
climaxed by a triumphant and
spectacular "show" in which Bus
by Berkeley’s choruses of 200 pick
ed beauties are lavishly displayed
in dance ensembles unequalled in
the history of stage or screen.
It is, furthermore, the story of
three gold digging show girls in
to whose capable hands the prob
lem of finding an “angel” for the
I show that will give them employ
J ment and opportunity, is entrusted,
j The tricks and trades behind many
a Broadway success, are disclosed
! in a whirlwind of exciting inci
I dent and amusing situations. The
j song writing scion of a proud fam
ily eventually Involves both his
I severely proper older brother and
the family lawyer in the intricacies
of showmanship. All in all, it is
a dramatically sound comedy dra
ma enhanced by the generous pro
duction values of the “big show.”
The chorus featured through
out, is a collection of beauty gath
ered from the whole nation and
trained under the guilding genius
of the man responsible for the
chorus ensemblies already famous
in “The Kid from Spain” and
“42nd Street” as well as in nu
merous New York stage revues
in recent years. The numbers or
iginated for “Gold Diggers of 1933”
mark the high spot in Holly
wood’s donations to the world’s en- ,
tertainment. Nothing like them in;
beauty, spectacle and daring has;
been seen before.

In the case of Doug Barham, Ok
| lahoma University high Jumper.
Because he must earn his own |
and his wife’s schoal expenses by i
painting signs, Barham has little
time left in which to rehearse his
athletic art.
One day, however, he played
truant from the paint shop and
reported to Coach John Jacobs
for a workout. In successive leaps
he went higher and higher until
the standard said 6 feet 3 inches.
Then he cleared the bar at this
mark again to show it was no
fluke, and Jacobs measured the
height of the bar with a steel tape,
just to be sure.

BUCK JONES IS
HERE IN STORY
OF ‘MOUNTIES’
Big Double Bill Playing at
Coliseum Theatre for
Tonight Only
"McKenna of the Mounted” star
ring Buck Jones, one of the great
est outdoor stars In motion pic
tures, heads a big double bill at
the Coliseum Theatre which is
playing tonight only. The other
feature on the program is "Mind
Reader," with Warren William as
the star.
Buck Jones dons the trim uni
form of the Canadian Royal North
west Mounted Police in his lat
est Columbia picture and the re
sult is a stirring swift-action pic
ture such as we too seldom see.
Set against the scenic tapestry
of green forests and mountains,
“McKenna of the Mounted” is
crammed with emotion, riding,
fighting, intrigue and other ele
ments dear to movie audiences,
which prefer these virile outdoor
films.
Columbia has surrounded Jones
with a notable cast, including Gre
ta Granstedt as the heroine, Niles
Welch and Mitchell lewis as vil
lains, and Walter McGrail and
James Flavia as members of the
Mounties. The picture has a skill
fully developed dramatic plot, which
lifts it far beyond the usual out
door action film.
Buck Jones plays the role of
Sergeant Tom McKenna, the stal
wart Mountie, who always “gets his
man." There has been a series of
robberies which has baffled the
picturesque custodians of law and
order in the northland, and Jones
decides on a plan to trap the
gang of malefactors and its lead
er. To do so, he Joins the out
laws to learn the identity of the
mysterious master mind, whose
craftily planned depredations are
bringing disgrace to the Mounties.
First in this secret service cam- ]
paign comes the arrest of Jones as
a robber, and his humiliating dis
charge from the Mounties. He -be
comes a pariah—a, social outcast
in the town. Not even his own
brother knows the true story be
hind his sacrifice. Nor does his
pretty sweetheart.
His method of outwitting the out
laws brings many exciting and
dangerous situations and the pic
ture ends in a rousing climax.
