Five Youngsters
Play Hob in Film
At Capitol Theatre
The story of a footloose roamer
who found himself “commandeer
ed” by five youngsters in search of
a father is told in the Capitol
Theatre's current attraction, “Fa
ther Is a Bachelor." Starred in the
Columbia Pictures’ comedy are Wil
liam Holden and Coleen Gray.
Mary Jane Saunders, Charles Win
ninger, Stuart Erwin and Clinton
Sundberg are cast in supporting
roles.
Holden is the wanderer who
finds his propensity ior wandering
outweighed by the appeal of the
five kids. Miss Gray plays the char
mer who helps his dreams come
true, while a young lady who has
already started moviegoers talking,
is six-year old Mary Jane, wonder
tully appealing as one of the child
en. Winninger, a colorful mounte
oank, Erwin, an easy-going sher
ff, and Sundberg, as a small-town
lawyer, add color and humor to
their characterizations.
The story, set in an Ohio River
town, opens with Holden, a min
strel man for a traveling medicine
show, forced to abandon his chosen
profession temporarily, when an
irate “customer” calls the cops.
Against his will, Holden becomes
involved with five marvelous kids
bereft of parents, who wishlully
hope that Holden will “adopt"
them. How Holden becomes their
second-hand “father," fights to
protect their good name and also
acquires a "mother” for them in
the charming person of Miss Gray,
makes for a delightfully refreshing
movie.

generously cast new Technicolor j
musical, “On An Island With You."
now showing at the 20th Century 1
Theatre. For this tropical tuner '
has everything in the way of big- )
time entertainment, from Esther :
Williams in stunning underwater
ballets, romance personified by
Peter Lawiord, the exciting dance
team of Ricardo Montalban and
Cyd Charisse, belly-laughs from I
the one-and-only Jimmy Durante, I
to a flock of new song hits back
grounded by the Latin rhythms of
Xavier Cugat and his famed band.
The story, laid in exotic Hawaiian
locales brilliantly filmed in the
Technicolor hues, has Esther Wil
liams (complete with sarong!) play
ing a movie star on location. Be
lieving herself to be in love with
her handsome leading man, Mont
alban, she spurns the advances of
her film’s technical adviser, Law
ford. But the impetuous Lawford
proves he is not so easy to spurn
when he kidnaps the glamorous
motion picture star by plane and
holds her prisoner overni ht on a
nearby island. This old-fashioned
caveman technique with a new
twist brings about happily hilarious
