COMEDY HIT NOW PLAYING
 AT CAPITOL
Meet the Missus' Brings Frederick, Moore
 to Screen

When the Happy Noodle Corpora ton organized nationwide con test to select a "Missus America a woman who represents the country s perfect housewife, it picked itself a peck of trouble, as pointed out in the comedy, Meet the Missus" now playing at the Capitol Theatre.
 It chose some twenty winners rom various parts of the nation to compete at Atlantic City for the title and the grand prize of ten thousand dollars. But somehow the representative from the Middle West was probably the worst housewife in the country, and what she and her protesting husband do to that convention forms the basis of mirth in RKO Radios Meet the Missus. "
 Victor Moore and Helen Broder- ick, who are swiftly attaining rec ognition as Americas leading fun sters are co-starred in this hilar- ious offering, and with Anne Shirley as their daughter and notable sup porting cast, they turn in a side splitting piece of screen entertain ment.
 With it's settings in an Ohio town and in a big hotel at the New Jer- sey beach city, and with sparkling dialogue that takes full advantage of the many comedy situations Meet the Missus' is the second of the Moore-Broderick vehicles pre- scented this season, the other being We're On the Jury.
