DEANNA DURBIM SCORES AGAIN;
 THIRD SUCCESS
Mad About Music, De- IighfiuI Pay, Opens
 Sunday af Capitol

For the third time in her short 1 career, 15-year-old Deanna Durbirl triumphs.
 Less than two years ago, Deanna was an unknown Los Angeles schoolgirl, not even dreaming of a screen career. Her first picture es- tablis he'd her as a child of pro- mise; her second confirmed that promise. Her third, Mad About Music" opens Sunday at the Capi- tol Theatre and proves beyond a doubt that little Miss Durbin is a genuine star, firmly established in her niche of screen fame.
 Mad About Music" is a delight ful picture It represents Deanna in different characterization from those of her previous pictures, and in mood and tempo entirely diff ferent. Mad About Music" is a comedy drama. Only a few tears and those in the most effective manner intrude into the story of the little girl with the make-believe father and whose dreams come true.
 Deanna sings as beautifully as ever. With the exception of Gou- mods Ave Maria" her selections are lighter, more in the popular bal lad vein, than those of 100 Men and a Girl" She renders three songs, T Love to Whistle "Serenade to the Stars" and 'Chapel Bells" by Jimmie McHugh and Harold Adam son, in addition to Gounod's Ave Maria"
 The cast, including Herbert Mar shall, Gail Patrick, Arthur Treach- CT, William Frawley, Marcia Mae Jones, Helen Parrish, Jackie Moran, Christian Rub, Charles Peck, Mana Bryant, Elizabeth Risdon, Joan Tree, Charles Judells, Franklin Pangborn, Bert Roach and Sid Grammar, turn in fine performances. The story is by Frederick Kohner and Marcella Burke, with screenplay by Bruce Manning and Felix Jackson.
