'Mexioan Spitfire" Opens Tonight on Screen of
 Local Theatre

Tempestuous Lupe Velez and her inimitable style of comedy, com bined with the laugh-making pro- clivities of the rubber-legged comic, Leon Errol, will be seen in ''Mexi can Spitfire," opening tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 The feminine firecracker, Lupe plays the title role in this laugh fest which divides it's locale be- tween New York and Guadalajara, Mexico A sequel to the stars re- cent comedy, The Girl From Me$- ico." the current RKO Radio finn again presents the actress as a Mexican entertainer married to Donald Woods, advertising man.
 Plot of the story revolyes around the efforts of Linda Hayes, as the grooms jealous ex-tiancee, to break up the marriage so she can marry the personable young mau. In this cause she has the support of Elisabeth Risdon, the groom'S snobbish aunt. On the other hand Leon Errol the uncle, is heartily in accord with the marriage, al though his blundering efforts to straighten out their marital troubles always boomerangs.
 As a result of one of their schemes which backfire, Lupe and the uncle find themselves fleeing to Mexico, Errol to avoid arrest for forgery and impersonation, and Lupe to obtain quick divorce ln the heat of jealousy.
 Many of the films most amusing scenes occur in Mexico and lay the foundation for the ensuing hilari- GUS events which take place in New York when the couple return there. They find Woods at a bachc- Tor dinner on the eve oi his mar riage to his former sweetheart. A telegram arrives advising Lupe her divorce is illegal This is the spark which ignites little bundle Of feminine TINT.
