'ASPHALT JUNGLE"
NOW AT CAPITOL
!S THRILL MOVIE
Seven men meet their fate in
M-G-M’s gripping new drama, “The
Asphalt Jungle,” outstanding at
traction on the Capitol Theatre's
screen.
Directed by John Huston, winner
of two 1949 Academy Awards, this
realistic, pulse-pounding story of
crime and punishment holds a re
lentless grip on the spectator. It is
told in brilliantly conceived camera
terms and offers an unforgettable
group of underworld characteriza
| tions in depicting the seven men
who hold life and freedom cheap in
their desperate quest for easy
money.
Sam Jaffa enacts the notorious
jewel thief who interests slick crim
inal lawyer Louis Calhern in a r.ias- j
ter-mind miliion-dollar robbery to j
take place in a large inidwestern j
city. Jnffe and his accomplices,!
small-time stick-up artist Sterling i
Hayden and wily, hunchbacked
James Whitmore, together with a
sniveling bookie and an underworld j
genius at safecracking, plan and
execute the daring robbery. Calhern |
is to dispose of the million dollars
worth of loot. It is when the crooked .
lawyer plots with his pal, a dis- j
reputable private- eye, to double
cross the others that the forces of
law and the wheels of retribution
turn to prove once again that there|
is neither honor nor gain among !
thieves.
Jean Hagen plays the part of a
seamy girl who befriends Hayden
in his doomed, last minute flight
from the police.
The story is suspenseful and dra
matic.

'SORROWFUL JONES'
306 HOPE WINNER IS
[AT 20TH CENTURY
One of the happiest and most
satisfying motion pictures ever made
arrived yesterday at the 20th C n
tury Theatre and this reviewer i;
still hr a glow after having seen it
It is Paramount’s picturization of
Damon Runyon’s “Sorrowful Jones,’
co-starring Bob Hope and Lucille
Ball and featuring in important
roles William Demnrest, Bruce
Cabot, Thomas Gomez, Tom Pedi
and little Mary Jane Saunders.
Whether or not you’re one of the
millions who read and love Run
yon’s priceless stories about the wise
Broadway guys and gals he knew
so well, you're bound to be crazy
about ‘‘Sorrowful Jones." The story
has real human drama as well as
hilarious humor to commend it.
Bob, in the title role, plays a pen
nypinching bookie vvho'd sooner par
with-his right arm than with some
of his bankroll. Against his better
judgment he permits a desperate
man to leave his little girl with
him as security for a bet. When the
man is bumped off by racketeer
gamblers for knowing too much
about their illegal activities, Hope
takes the kid home with him be
cause he doesn't know what else to
do. Night club singer Lucille Ball
who has always suspected there
was a heart underneath Bob’s
seedy exterior, lends a willing, help
ing hand with the child.
The story takes riotous turns as
Hope and the kid get mixed up in
the big racketeer’s plans to fix a
race. The ending is one of excite
ment and also charm.
