CAPITOL SCREEN GILT TIERS WITH
 MUSICAL SHOW
Bessie Love and Fine Cast Sin g and Dance in
 Chasing Rainbows

Bessie Love and Charles King win another triumph in the gilt tering back-stage all-talking, sing ing and dancing picture, Chasing Rainbows," which is showing at the Capitol theatre.
 The tuneful and dazzling play with it's large dance ensembles, filmed in technicolor, is an insight into the life of these two roam ing troupers. The audience shares their joys, sorrows and pains in cubicle dressing rooms, stuffy Pull mans and chilly one-night stands.

 Sammy Lee staged the dancing ensembles.
 Whirlwind Finale
 Especially in the whirlwind fi- nale, screened in natural colors, Lee demonstrates his skill in han ding humanity and color and weld ing it into a living kaleidoscopic picture. This number, called Happy Days Are Here Again" at last finds Miss Love in Kings arms.

chorus in the Everybody Tap number is one of the outstanding bits of the picture.
 Miss Loves role is one of her greatest scree en characterizations, this kicked-around trouper who waits patiently until the man she loves gets tired of playing around with other women of easy attrac- tion.
 Plays Stage Manager
 Jack Benny, is excellent as the stage manager who has a romantic leaning toward Bessie but under stands her love for her partner, played by King.
 Kings rendition of Love Ain't Nothing But the Blues" Lucky Me, Lovable Ycu," and Happy Days leaves nothing to be desired
 Marie Dressler, always superb scores heavily in her song, My Dynamic Personality and her hi- larious comedy scenes with Polly Moran are devastating Other perfect performances are given by Gwen Lee, Nita Marian, George K Arthur, Eddie Phillips and Youcca Troubetskoy.
 The story is an original by BesS Meredyth, which Wells Root adapt ed. Riesner and Robert Hopkins did the dialogue.
 Only 16 out of every 300 appli- cants land chorus girl jobs in talk ing pictures, according to Lee, noted revue producer.
 This small percentage, Lee de- clared, is due to the rigid demands of the talking picture, the chorus girls having to look poppy and pretty in closeups as well as long shots, an opposite requirement. from the stage.

center, and on a line without much curvature upward He is one of the few right handlers to hit a ball over the right field wall in League Park here.
 President Ava Bradley and gen. eral manager Billy Evans of the Indians, picked Joe from an all- star Cleveland sandlot team in 1928 and assigned him to Fred erick, Md, in the Blue Ridge league for more experience
 He finished the 1929 season there and batted .391. The following year he was with Terre Haute in the Three I league where he led the league with a .397 batting average.
 Evans thereupon decided to give Vosmik trial in fast company, and took him along for training this spring. Vosfnik bombarded the of ferings of pitchers during the train ing season, and when the test of the regular season was administered he passed with flying colors

 He then faced one of the best southpaws in the game today, Earl Whitehill, of Detroit, and got a homer and a single. Waite Hoyt, another veteran right handler, was Joe's next victim.
 The first time Vosmik came to bat Hoyt tried to scare him by pitching one at his head On the next pitch, Vosmik tripled to the scoreboard. And on the next trip to the plate he blew himself to a single.
 He went five days before he was stopped by Vic Sorrel and Art Herring, of Detroit. Sorrell, Joe says, has been the toughest pitcher he has faced so far. The following game, however, he got three hits out of four times up
 Most of this season Vosmik has been leading the leagues batters. In nine games he struck out on! twice
 Vosmik says he has found the curve ball his easiest prey, but it really makes no great difference. The ball also may be either slow or fast.
 He waits with the bat resting easily on his right shoulder until the ball is halfway between the plate and the pitchers box. Then he prepares for it and gives sthe bat a three quarter swing.
 Most of his hits travel to right.
