"Of Human Hearts at Capitol, Is Story of
 Ohio Pioneer Days

"Of Human Hearts" dramatic story of an itinerant preacher of Lincoln's day, is the new vehicle which brings Walter Huston to the screen for the first time since his success in "Dodsworth," The new picture, based on the story, "Bene- fits Forgot" by Honore Morrow, and in which James Stewart, Beulah Bondi and many notable stage and character players appear, comes to the Capitol Theatre Sunday.
 The story deals with circuit-rid- ing preacher, his wife, and their son, who grows up to be a famous sur geon, forgets his family ties, and whose feet are finally turned on the right path by Abraham Lincoln Much of the action occurs in a back woods Ohio village. Clarence Brown, director of Conquest and "Ah Wilderness!" directed
 Much of the picture was made on location in a village built at Lake Arrowhead, Cal Dramatic high lights include a vicious fight be- tween father and son after guar rel in the wilderness, the sons de- parture for Baltimore and medical school, the Lincoln episode, and the final reunion with his mother aud sweetheart.
 Delicate human interest episodes and many delft comedy moments en- liyen the play which in it's general feeling is in the tradition of "Ah Wilderness!" though the story ano theme are totally different.

SAGA OF 1859 OPENS SUNDAY
 AT COLISEUM
Irene Dunne, Randol lph Scott, Star in High,
 Wide, Handsome

Take one of the most colorful stories from the pages of Amer ican history, the tale of the dis covery of oil in Pennsylvania in 1859, woven into a scenario by Oscar Hammertein II, add a strange and beautiful romance between a hard fighting. iron-willed farmer and a gay, light-hearted carnival singer, played by Randolph Scott and Irene Dunne: argument the romance with the haunting melodies of a Jerome Kern score; put it all to- gether under the talented guidance of a great director, Reuben Nam oulian, and you get the new Para mount musical historical romance, "Eigh. Wide and Handsome" which opens Sunday at the Coliseum Theatre.
 Against a pattern made up of the struggle between the farmers who found oil on their land and the railroads who sought to force con- trol of the new commodity from them, the story of the Dunne- Scott romance unfolds with great beauty.
 Scott and Miss Dunne are mar ried just at the beginning of the oil boom, and the new business draws Scott away from his bride before they can become adjusted to their new life. Finding her mar riage meaningless as Scott becomes more and more absorbed in his struggle to hold the rich oil lands he has discovered, she seeks to recapture the excitement and glamor of her old carnival life.
 But nothing can drown her love for Scott. When she hears he is actually fighting for his life, she impulsively returns to him, takes her place at his side and, in a thrilling climax, helps him win through to success.
 Into this romance is woven the music of Jerome Kern and the sweeping action and excitement of the fight to control the neW-tOund oil.
