"SUSpICI0N' FINE FILM OPENING AT
 CAPITOL THEATRE
Joan Foniaine. Cary Grant, Starring in New Mystery
 Picture

Presenting a vivid and unfor- gettable story of woman whose troubled mind leads her to suspect that her husband is a murderer, Suspicion stars Cary Grant and Joan Fontaine in what is said to be one of the most gripping and unusual romantic dramas ever l. seen on the screen. This feature is coming to the Capitol Sunday.
 Grant enacts the role of a reck- less young wastrel, Johnnie Avs garth, and Miss Fontaine that of Lima McLaidlaw, quiet and imagi- native daughter of a wealthy re- tired general. Fascinated by John nie's charm, Lima succumbs to his whirlwind wooing and elopes with him-only to learn that he hasn't a shilling and that he's been liv- ing on borrowed money for years.
 At her mortified protests, John nie indulgently agrees to go to work. Lima is happy, but not for long. Soon she learns that Johnnie has been at the races instead of working, that he has pawned her wedding present from her father, that he has been discharged for apparent embezzlement. With all this, she still loves him, accepts his excuses and his devotion.
 But when she hears of the mys- terious death of Thwaite, his best friend, under circumstances that point, indirectly at least, to John nie as his murderer, Lima is frightened, and this is the begin ming of a breathless series of suspicious happenings that build toward the strikingly dramatic climax of the film as well as toward its romantic ending.
