BELOVED WILL ROGERS
 SEEN AGAIN IN RETURN
 PICTURE AT COLISEUM

The beloved Will Rogers never played a more warm-hearted and heart-warming role than the easy going small-town newspaper editor of Life Begins at 40," the 20th Gen. tury-Fox production which will open tonight at the Coliseum Theatre.
 A boon to those movie-goers who have not seen it before, the film brought laughs to repeaters as well. Your reviewer thoroughly enjoyed for the second time the hilarious situations and ageless wit and wis dom of Americas favorite humor- ist.
 When Will shows that the years after 40 are the best of mans life he supplies hilarious proof to the theme of Walter B. Pitkin's best selling book which suggested the screen play to Lamar Trotti.
 Rogers is a doctor of romance as well, luckily for Rochelle Hudson and Richard Cromwell whose love affair is in a bad way until he offers a helping hand. Things are straight ened out eventually, but Will stirs up a riot of fun in the process.

''LET US LIVE"
 OPENS TONIGHT
 ATi0CM SHOW
Maureen 0'SuIIiyan, Hen ry Fonda, Ralph BeAamy
 Are at Capitol Theatre

There, but for the grace of God, go I" may be considered the true theme of Columbia's newest film at the Capitol tonight, with Maureen O'Sullivan, Henry Fonda and Ralph Bellamy featured. True motion pie ture entertainment in it's sheerest sense, Let Us Live" deftly weaves, romance, murder, injustice, tragic error, fear and hope in brilliant fashion.
 It is no exaggeration to say of Let Us Live" that it possesses an idea to which everybody will re- spond. The story of ordinary people, suddenly becomes the focus of a suspicious world, ''Eet Us Live" has to do with Brick Tennant, taxi driver, and Mary Roberts, his sweet heart. Fate plucks them from their obscurity to change their pitiful dreams of modest happiness -to-be into a terror stricken reality. The boy and his friend are accused and convicted of murder by the mistaken testimony of eye-witnesses and by circum- stantial evidence appalling in its incrimination. The girl refuses to quit her desperate struggle to con vince hostile world that her sweet heart is innocent
