YELLOW JACK"
 IS HISTORICAL HIT
 OPENING TONIGHT
Robert Montgomery, Vir- qinia Bruce Co., starred
 in Film at Capitol

Modern motion picture magic has colored the brighter pages of history in new salute to heroic scientists.
 It is Yellow Jack" dedicated to those five soldiers who risked their lives to free humanity from the yoke of yellow fever. Opening tonight at the Capitol Theatre, it will impress the audience with starkly dramatic scenes. unusual romantic appeal and new type of heroism.
 Metro Goldwyn Mayer spared nothing in making the authentic story of Major Walter Reed thrill ing tribute to the man responsible for lifting the yoke of yellow fever from Cuba in the distressing days following the Spanish American War. They placed Robert Montgom- cry in his first dramatic role since Night Must Fall" once more as signed the lovely Virginia Bruce in the feminine lead opposite him and gave them a supporting cast of unusual merit. Ihey present cilap- ter from scientific history which earned it's thrills from human sac rifice, it's drama from heroism.
 The story concerns a commission sent from Washington to wipe out the yellow fever which is devastating Cuba. The small group of scientists finally evolve the theory that a species of mosquito, the Stegomya, is responsible for the spread of the disease To prove their theory they need human guinea pigs. Montgom- cry persuades four of his compan- ions to volunteer. Their sufferings, etched against the factual back ground, provide sheer drama un- paralleled in fiction's pages.
