Lew Ayres and Lionel Bar rymore Star in "Dr. Kil-
 dare Goes Home"

Lew Ayres. Lionel Barrymore and the other Dr. Kildare characters plunge into another strange ad- venture in medical mystery in "Dr Kildare Goes Home" coming to the Capitol Theatre today and to- morrow. This time they leave the big city hospital to grapple with disease prevention and clinic in a town stricken by financial pam ic, battle prejudice and opposition to cleaning up old wells and other unsanitary spots, and emerge tli- umphant after detecting and cur ing a mystery ailment.
 The new Kildare picture, which interlards the dramatic and scien- tific moments with hilarious com edy, including the elopement plan of Lew Ayres and Laraine Day which goes astray in laughable fiasco, is laid partly in the home town of the young doctor an d partly in the clinic established in the neighboring town in an old residence. Failure of the paper mill has rendered almost every resident penniless, hence the clinic.
 A new doctor is added to the Kildare group in John Shelton who scored with Lana Turner in We Who Are Young" and plays pr. Davidson, Ayres' aid in the clinic project. Harold s. Bucquet, who has guided all the Kildare pictures, again directed. Players include Gene Lockhart as the mystery pa- tient," Alma Kruger, Samuel 5. Kinds, Emma Dunn, Walter Kings ford Nat Pendleton, Marie Blake, Nell Craig, Frank Orth, Horace Me Mahon and George Reed
 Dramatic highlights include the emergency operation in the tene- ment, the battle of science to save Lockharts life in the clinic, and the town meeting that finally en- dorses the clinic.
