'ARN S0ThERN IN "DULCY" Al
 CAPITOL NOW
Gay Comedy of Wealthy Girl win Heart of Gold
 Also Has Ian Hunter

With Ann Sothern as it's star, "Dulcy," heralded as setting a new high in hilarity, will open at the Capitol Theatre tonight. The popu- lar comedienne is supported by a strong cast and the combination of plot, situations and dialogue is ac- claimed sure-fire for one of the merriest picture in a blue moon.
 "Dulcy" is the story of a modern young woman who believes in the theory that humanity should ex- tend helping hand to others. But when she attempts to sell an air plane motor and run the romantic affairs of two couples in addition to herself, she runs into uproarious difficulties. The film finds Miss Sothern in a different type of role. Temporarily dropping her "Maisie' characterization, the new Miss So- thern appears in Adrian wardrobe and chic hair styles.
 Ian Hunter, whose excellent per- formanc are we'll known is seen as Miss Sothern's leading man, a young inventor who has perfected a type of airplane motor capable of running on kerosene. The fact that he falls heir to five year-old Chinese boy makes his position in the film tops for com edy. Roland Young portrays the airplane magnate, Roger Forbes. His wife is played by Billie Burke and his daughter by Lynne Carver. Reginald Gardiner offers another gem of comedy portrayal as a slightly demented gentleman with illusions of grandeur. Completing the cast are Dan Daley, Jr. as Miss Sothern's brother, Donald Huie, Jonathan Hale, Quinn Big Boy Williams and Hans Conreid.
