Opening Sunday,
Capitol Theatre
Hailed for its human interest and
gayety, HKO Radio’s “Holiday Af

up her mind and a man who made
it up for her. This is the feature

set in New York, with Miss Leigh
as a war widow with a small son.
Corey portrays a prosperous attor
ney who wants to marry her and
take her out of her jop as com
parison shopper for a big depart
ment store, and Mitchum has the
role of the casual drifter who comes
into her life unexpectedly and de
cides she should marry him instead.
The participants get involved in
a whole series of hilarious incidents
before the heroine finally realizes
the right course for her to take.
Filmgcsrs are promised a revela
tion in tne role undertaken by Rob
ert Mitchum, noted for his two
fisted performances.
Seven-year-old Gordon Gebert as
Miss Leigh’s son. and Griff Barnett,
Esther Dale, Henry O’Neill and

roles in the film.
The story of the never-ending

RKO Pathe "This is America” short
playing with “Holiday Affair” at
the Capitol.
