TWO EEATURES ON
SCREEN NOW M
CAPITOL THEATRE
If you think one Red Skelton is
funny, wait until you see three
"Reds” in the hilarious new come
dy. “Watch the Birdie," now show
ing at the Capitol Theatre.
In what is undoubtedly the most
uproarious concoctidn of laughs,
gjgs and slapstick antics the pop
ular comic has ever appeared, he
enacts not only the hero. Rusty
Cammeron, but Rusty’s father, and
his grandfather!
Rusty is a photographer who
meets the girl of his dreams, Ar
lene Dahl, when she rescues him
from a watery grave. He eventually
repays her and also captures hei
heart by saving her from a f'eec
ng at the hands of her unscrupu
ous financial adviser, played by
Leon Ames, but before this hap
pens he becomes involved in so
taffy and howling a series of ad
/entures that the spectator has a
lard time catching his breath from
one laugh to the next.
The other big feature to this bill
is “The MGM Story," showing in
ide of Hollywood with top stars in
iction and scenes from many coming
MGM productions.
