NEW COMEDY HIT
OPENING TONIGHT,
CAPITOL THEATRE
i -
Columbia’s “Miss Grant Takes
Richmond," co-starring Lucille Ball
and William Holden, is the feature
attraction tonight at the Capitol
Theatre. Supporting the stars are
featured players Janis Carter, James
Gleason, Gloria Henry and Frank
■ McHugh.
Since S. Sylvan Simon, who di
I rected and produced Red Skelton’s
, convulsively funny comedy, “The
Fuller Brush Man,” authored by
Frank Tashlin and Devery Free
i man, collaborates again with these
writers in “'Miss Grant Takes Rich
mond," comedy fans are expecting
another big harvest of laughs from
i the new Columbia comedy. And from
advance reports, they aren't going to
be disappointed, as lovely Miss Ball
! and Holden, a brace of brilliant
i comedians', are said to carry out
the promise of a script that crackles
1 with laughter and romance.
The merriment in “Miss Grant
I Takes Richmond" stems from the
humorous complications that re
sult when Miss Ball, a secretary
' whose lovely exterior belies her ln
i eptness at office work, is hired
by Holden. Holden, it seems, op
: erates a flourishing book-making
j establishment behind the staid fa
i cade of a real estate office. Luscious
Miss Ball, however, is conscientious
; if nothing else, and she sets to work
to see that her friends acquire hous
ing!
i Before the bewildered Holden rea
lizes it he is knee-deep in sponsor
ing a housing project^ Shrewdly
figuring that the project will fall
flat on its face if Miss Ball master
minds it, Holden has her placed in
charge, resulting in what is said to
be one of the most hilarious cons
truction jobs in the country.
