Laughter Comes
Into Own at
Capitol Theatre
Laughter is the order of the day
| at the Capitol Theatre, where RKO
I Radio’s riotous Harold Lloyd com
edy, ‘Mad Wednesday." will open
tonight.
The famous funster has lost none
of his skill in delighting the movie
going public, and the film will keep
the Capitol's patrons in a continual
uproar, particularly in the scenes
where Lloyd, Jimmy Conlin and a
scared lion play a perilous game of
tag on the narrow ledges of a tall
office building.
As a bookkeeper who is dismissed
after twenty years, goes on a toot
and wakes up to find he is the
owner of a bankrupt and hungry
circus, Lloyd has a tailor-made role
which he handles in a masterly
style. Lovely Frances Ramsden
makes a charming debut as the
heroine, and Conlin, as a bookie
who finds himself an unwilling
prrtner in the bookkeeper’s ex
ploits, does a great job.
Raymond Walburn, Edgar Ken
nedy, Franklin Pangborn, Arlinr
Judge, Lionel Stander and Mar
garet Hamilton contribute their
siiare of the hilarity.

'When Worlds
Collide’ Tonight
Al 20th Century
If the earth is doomed by an im
pending collision with a run-away
star, can science save civilization?
This is the question that film
producer George Pal has pondered
and answered in Paramount's
"When Worlds Collide," opening
tonight at the 20th Century The
atre. Pal's answer: Yes.
Of course, not everyone will come
out unscathed. There will be celes
tial fireworks such as earth folk—
and moviegoers—have never seen
before. But a handful of lucky cit
izens will escape on a space ship
j o transplant our civilization on
■ mother planet.
Fantastic? Not at all. Astron
omers admit the possibility of a
fraying star barging into the earth.
They also believe that other planets
can support human life. And the
construction of space ships capable
of blasting out of the earth's gravi
tational field and skimming
through the solar system is not
more than a few years away.
Staging the Technicolor cata
clysm, not confirming its likelihood,
proved Pal’s thorniest problem.
After months of research and con
sultation with men who know their
rockets best, a 100 foot, replica of
a space ship was constructed. More
difficult was reproduction of the
tidal waves and quakes that destroy
the earth’s cities just before the
cosmic smash-up.
After technical obstacles had been
hurdled, a top flight cast headed
by Richard Derr, Barbara Rush and
Peter Hanson began enacting the
tense human drama of doomsday
and a daring escape to a new world.
Eisenhower Must
Seek Nomination
Openly: Senator
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12—1*1—Sen
ator Ferguson (R-Mich) said today
he doesn’t think Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower can get the 1952 Re
i publican presidential nomination
I unless he seeks it openly.
I The Michigan Senator, who hasn’t
taken sides in the presidential con
I test, told reporters he has the im
! pression that Eisenhower would be
“available” but doesn’t believe that
is enough.
‘‘I think Eisenhower would accept
the nomination but I don’t believe
he can get it without running lor
it," Ferguson commented. Asked
who the nominee would be in that
case, he replied: “Senator Taft
(R-Ohio).”
Ferguson’s comments came after
Senator Russell (D-Ga> told a news
conference yesterday it will be a
"major miracle” if all the difficul
ties confronting the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization (NATO) now
commanded by Eisenhower can be
ironed out in the next ten or
twelve months..
