 NOW AT CAPITOL
Joe r. Brown Is Hilarious in Newest and Nuffiesf
 of His Pictures

Joe E. Brown in "The Gladiator. with June Travis, Robert Kent and Man Mountain Dean, the beardea behemoth of ring fame, ends at the Capitol Theatre tonight.
 Department from his customary haracterizations, the ca yer n = mouthed comedian. in his newest of- fering, portrays the role of a scien- tifically y-created superman. Those who read Philip Wylie's novel of the same title will remember the humof- ous circumstances under which "The Gladiator" was launched on his col lege misadventures.
 Brown, returning to Webster Col lege as sophomore, is beaten and bludgeoned on the football field in the spirit of good clean fun when he attempts to impress Miss Travis, the belle of the campus. That night the Professor who owns the boarding house where Brown resides, selects Brown as the unwitting subject of an experiment to increase the hu- man normal strength manyfold. The experiment. works.
 From that point on the story of The Gladiator" is an amazing as it it amusing, picturing Brown as a virtual one-man Olympic team and a coed favorite from coast to coast.
