PIDGEON GIVEN
DIFFERENT ROLE,
CAPITOL'S BILL
Walter Pidgeon's oft-repeated wish
to play an "entirely different type
of character" is answered in his new
role with Greer Garson in M-G-M's
Technicolor picturization of "That
Forsyte Woman," based on Book
One of John Galsworthy’s "The For
syte Saga.” This feature closes at
the Capitol Theatre tonight.
As Young Jolyon Forsyte, he en
j acts the so-called black sheep of the
j family who finally proves to be the
1 only admirable member of the fabu
[ lous Forsytes.
His love story with Miss Garson
promises to set a new pattern in
screen romance. As the brilliant ar
tist but shy lover, Pidgeon is cast out
by his purse-proud family for mar
rying beneath him. Throughout the
entire story, set in fashionable Lon
don in the 1880’s, he is content
i to sit on the sidelines while Miss
Garson is wooed by two other suitors.
; Errol Flynn and Robert Young.
| The role is in marked contrast to
i Pidgeon’s recent starring roles in
j "Julia Misbehaves” and "Command
I Decision.”
i Tomorrow the feature “Miss Grant
j Takes Richmond” will open for a
two day run.
