In most respects, save for drafting

JOE E. BROWN,
 COMEDIAN, IS
 AT CAPITOL
Some New Stuff Is Pulled in You Said a
 Youthful

Joe E. Brown does some plain and fancy acquaplane stunts in his latest comedy list; You Said a Youthful" the First National pie ture which is now showing at the Capitol Theatre. In this he is aided and abetted by Preston S. Foster, both of whom are adopts with the sea planes in which they are hauled over the rough waters of the Pacific, at Catalina 1s- land, at terrific speed.
 Joe playing the part of an art less youth, is induced to step on the board through misappre- hension, but manages to stick on by luck and finally topples into the water through sheer awkwardness.
 Joe's unhappiness is stimulated for picture purposes, and when he plunges into the water. it is really his skilled diving that makes it appear to be funny accident.
 The story by William R. Dover is filled with uproarious situa- tions in which Joe wins a mara thon race although he has never swum before. Many new and novel comedy gags have been in jected by Robert Lord and Bolton Mallory who wrote the screen play.
 Ginger Rogers, Sheila Terry Fa- rina, of Our Gang" comedies, Quinn Williams and Harry Crib bon are among those in the sup porting cast. The picture was di- rected by Lloyd Bacon.

The Animal Kingdom" opened at the Coliseum Theatre Saturday night, and will conclude it's run tonight.
 The theme is a bit, well-un- conventional. It's hero makes the discovery that the other woman in his life has more of the attri- butes of wife than the wife her self, so what is he to do?
 Tom Collier, played by Leslie Howard, has lived for three years with an attractive girl, a com mercial artist She is Daisy Sege, played by Ann Harding. When it comes to marriage, Tom is con ventional enough to think that the connubial yoke should be assumed with a girl of his own social sta tion and he marries Cecelia, a sen suous beauty played by Myrna Loy.
