BiNG CROSBY IS
SINGING STAR IN
DISNEY FILM TONIGHT
A haunting ghostly number is
• ung by Bing Crosby for Walt Dis
ney's new all-cartoon feature. “The
! Adventures of Ichabod and Mr.
| Toad," in color by Technicolor, the
i picture at the Capitol Theatre ta
j night.
The song is The Headless Horse
man, dealing with the “wraith" that
I pursues the legendary Yankee
choolteacher Ichabod Crane. It is
dc’ivered by Bing Crosby in mock
dreadfulness, to heighten the furi
ous action of the chase. Authored by
Don Raye and Gene De Paul, the
ong offers orchestras and singers
■he first appropriate Halloween bal
lad and dance ditty. Despite its
topic, it is stirring rather than dis
mal.
The Headless Horseman is the lilt
and lay of Washington Irving’s cele
brated hoax on Ichabod Crane by
Brom Bones in musical version.
Through this song and two others,
Ichabod and Katrina, Crosby exerts
his full vocal personality, but he
does not actually appear on the
screen.
Basil Rathbone narrates the com
panionate adventure of Mr. Toad
from Kenneth Grahame’s "Wind in
the Willows.” The picture will leave
the Capitol tonight.

GABLE AND TURNER
ARE STARS TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
Repeated requests on tire part of
their respective fnns have joined
Clark Gable and Lana Turner for
the third time in the M-G-M love
story. "Homecoming,” which is new
showing at the Gross 20th Cen
tury Theatre ns one of the seasons
outstanding film attractions.
The stars have not appeared to
gether since “Honky Tonk,” made
in 1941, and "Somewhere I'll Find
You," filmed a year later.
Gable comes to the new picture
from his big hit in "The Hucksters,"
while the role of the young nurse
in "Homecoming," marks the third
straight dramatic role in a row for
Miss Turner, who recently scored in
"Green Dolphin Street,” and "Cass
Timberlane.”
Miss Turner who won the part
against competition of some of the
most important feminine stars in
the film capitol, is seen as "Snap
shot" McCall, forthright Army nurse
with whom Gable falls in love. The
role which calls for the actress to
meet a tragic end, is the most
deeply emotional one Miss Turner
has ever had.
Also in the stellar cast are Anne
Baxter, playing Gable’s loyul wife,
and John Hodiak, as his best friend.
