"HIRED WIFE" HAS
THREE STARS IN
CAPITOL COMEDY
In answer to the clamor of fans
for fast-moving comedies of the
type which depend on situation
rather than gags, Realart’s hilar
! ious “Hired Wife,” was brought back
to the Capitol Theatre last night;
j to excellent audience acclaim.
Co-starring Rosalind Russell,
Brian Aherne and Virginia Bruce.
Hired Wife” is the story of a girl,
I whose heart is broken when she;
j marries the man she loves for bus
; iness reasons rather than for ro
mantic reasons.
Rosalind Russell is outstanding in ;
this comedy role as Ahern's secre- !
tary. She is as excellent in her fun- j
ny performance as ever.
Aherne, playing his first comedy j
role, is perfect as the business exe
cutive who has to marry hurriedly
for business reasons. Through Rosa
lind's trickery he marries her this
secretary) rather than Virginia
Bruce, whom he is supposedly en
gaged to marry.
That starts it all. From th«re on
the intrigue becomes more intense
and the comedy f.unnier each reel,
until the movie reaches a hilarious
climax.
RED SECRET POLICE
AGENTS OPERATE EN
U. S. FOR 30 YEARS
WASHINGTON, April 26 —Iff)—
Benjamin Gitlow testified today
that agents of the Russian secret
police force began operating in this
country about 30 years ago.
Gitlow, who says he was ousted
from the Communist party in 1929
after a dispute with Joseph Stalin,
said he had personal knowledge of
such activity while he was a top
party leader in the United States.
Gitlow testified before the sub
versive activities control board. It
! is holding hearings on whether the
; American Communist party must
| ; egister with the Attorney General
I as a forcign-controlled organization.
The bqard tentatively ruled that
| Gitlow would have to confine his j
| testimony to the period in which ,
i he was an active party member. j
j Gitlow said the Russian secret
i police then known as the OGPU
i bad agents regularly assigned to
j the United States as early as the
‘itSt part of the 1920's.

REDS TRIED
CONTROL OF
MOVIE LAND
WASHINGTON, April 26. —1*1—
Edward Dytryk, screen director, has
testified the Communist party
sought to gain control over the
entire film industry through the
guilds and unions in Hollywood.
Dytryk dramatically broke a long
silence for which he went to jail
ir\ 1947. Then he refused to an
swer questions of the House un
American Activities Committee
about Communism.
But today he told the committee
he had belonged to the party; he
considers Communists “treasonable"
because of recent spy trials and he
added:
“I am Willing to talk.”
Immediately, he launched into
a long and vivid account of party
activities. He said “well inten
‘ toned’' citizens are caught “in
Communist fly traps" before they
realize it.
In Hollywood he said the part^
had a “tithing system" for levying
assessments against well paid Hol
lywood workers. He said this
brought a "great deal” of money
to the party.
Dytryk said the party tried to
gain control of all of Hollywood's
talent guild and craft unions.

"ALL ABOUT EVE"
[S STAR FEATURE
AT 29TH CENTURY
The lights of Broadway have
never burned more powerfully than
they do in Darryl F. Zanuck's "All
About Eve,” which began its local
engagement at the 20th Century
Theatre yesterday to popular and
critical acclaim.
When you see and experience this j
magnificent 20th Century-Fox ere-,
ation you will know that rarely has |
a motion picture held an audience I
so completely absorbed from incep
tion to conclusion. In every respect
"All About Eve' is what theatre-!
goers clamor for, the different pic-1
ture, and it is as impressive a sam
ple of movie magic as you are likely
to see in years of filmgoing.
“All About Eve" begins as it ends,
with the seasonal theatre banque.
honoring Anne Baxter as best
actress of the year. Between the
presentation by Walter Hampden as
the dean of actors and Miss Bax
ter's gracious thank-you speech is
unfolded an incisive behind-the
scenes story that calls into play all
those instrumental in Miss Baxter's
success. Among them are Bette
Davis as the reigning Broadway
star who first takes the fledgling'
actress under wing; George San- j
ders, drama critic and career man- J
ipulator; Celeste Holm, the fash- :
tollable and schooled wife of noted
playright Hugh Marlowe; Gary,
Merrill, a celebrated director, and
George Ratoff, veteran producer. |
Their stories taken together tell
us "All About Eve” and are the
ngredients of a sharp, fascinating i
screenplay, crowned with a final'
irony which is simply spellbinding. J
