 CAPITOL THEATRE
Virginia Bruce and Waller Pidgeon Are Stars in
 Feature Production

Motion picture fans who like their murder mysteries baffling have something to outguess them at the Capitol Theatre where "So- ciety Lawyer" featuring Walter Pidgeon, Virginia Bruce and Leo Carrillo will be shown for the last times tonight.
 This laugh provoking and thrill ing murder mystery is superbly cast both in it's major featured players as well as in its support ing cast. Walter Pidgeon was never seen to better advantage than in his role of lawyer detective in this film Virginia Bruce sparkles with engaging vivacity and even dis closes one of her hidden talents when she sings as a night-club en- tertainer And Leo Carrillo is at his topmost form in warmly hu- nan characterization as a reformed gangster.
 The story reveals the efforts of Pidgeon, Miss Bruce and Carrillo to save the life of client of Pidgeons from the chair on a framed murder charge Miss Bruce and Carrfllo, her night-club en- ployer, assist Pidgeon in finding the real murderer, setting a trap for him in which they themselves threaten to be caught. Carrillo loses his life in seeing the ingeni- ous plan carried through but the murderer is brought to justice.
