"4 SONS AT CAPITOL

Crowds greeted the opening of Four Sons" last night at the Capi- toi where it will be offered all this week. If audience enthusiasm is 8 gauge, this Fox production is schad- uled for an engagement here as suc- ressful as any it has had elsewhere. It is a fascinating blending of pa thos, anguish and happiness. with a Movietone accompaniment which adds greatly to its entertainment value.
 This picture has already develop ed a reputation as a record breaker. How it acquired it is easily under stood after watching the way in which story of mother love is un- folded on a war background. Mar saret Mann's portrayal of the moth- rr role is one of the most effective aharacterizations in years. Officials of the Fox organization who dis covered' her at the age of sixty are entitled to credit for bringing a real artist to the screen.
