BARRYMORE E STAR OF PLAY
 HERE TONIGHT
FiImization of Broadway Hit On Borrowed Time
 Is at Capitol Theatre

Heart warming laughter, homely drama, gripping suspense and in- spring imagery join to present one of the most unusual and memor- able motion pictures ever produced in On Borrowed Time" screening at the Capitol Theater and on final showing tonight.
 With a cast of superb actors. headed by Lionel Barrymore, this simple story of an old grandfather who desperately fights Death to prevent the young grandson he adores from falling into the clutches of an interruptions aunt, takes on all the attributes of a screen classic. Barrymore was never finer as the lovable, outspoken Gramp, a characterization which is gem even among his other out standing roles.
 The featured cast matches up to Barrymore's lead in every in stance. Sir Cedric Hardwicke as the mysterious stranger, MT. Brink, personification of Death, presents an unforgettable portrait which is unique in the neWness of its con- ception. Never a weird, macabre personality, MT. Brink is shown as a benign and tolerant individual who has far more to offer mortalS than they anticipate. It is a thought provoking imagery which gives the key to the entire produc- tion.

Washington and Wyoming. If any of them has even made a recent gesture toward putting a Capitol halo over the memory of one of their heroes, David Lynn, Capitol architect, hasn't heard of it.
