 OPENS TONIGHT
La Congd Nights and In Old Missouri Are
 Playing Here

With Hugh Herbert playing seven different roles and fighting to steal comedy scenes from him. self, Universals musical farce, La Conga Nights, opens tonight on a double bill at the Capitol Theatre.
 Spilling laughter and rapid-fire gags" through every scene, the film reveals Herbert playing his mother, his grandfather and a quartette of dizzy sisters in addi- ton to himself" Destined to rank as one of the funniest pictures of the year, La Conga Nights" is generously sprinkled with Hitting music, new songs and gay dance routines.
 singer out of job, and Dennis O'Keefe in the role of dancing taxi-driver are youthful and re- freshing in well played romantic roles. But it is Herbert who keeps the laughs bubbling forth from be- ginning to end.
 The story concerns an eccentric millionaire with yen for rhum- ba music who is ordered about by four bossy sisters who, of course, are portrayed by Herbert. How he takes refuge in a boarding house because musicians live there, and how he helps the penniless guests open their own Conga club, results in fantastic and hilarious comedy situations. Eventually Herbert as- serts himself and sets his sisters and his mother to work playing instruments in a red-hot rhumba orchestra. That Herbert makes each of the seven characters differ ent and equally amusing is a credit to his comedy genius.
