4 Married a Witch
Slated for Capitol
Week After Nexf

II Married a Witch" the comedy
in which Veronica Lake plays the
title role, has been booked for Loew's
Capitol Theater the week beginning
November 10.
Fredric March plays the young
candidate for governor whose cam
paign looks decidedly dewey-not
to say all wet-until Veronica puts
witchcraft to work for him. This
extra-legal procedure proves to be
more potent than either ballots or
bullets, and March sweeps the State
with the aid Of Miss Lakes broom
stick.
Robert Benchley heads the sup
porting cast, which also includes
lovely Susan Hayward, whose charms
avail little against love potions dis
titled by the lively young woman
whose creator was the late Thorne
Smith. Topper" that popular if
slightly confused hero of previous
comedies, was another Thorne
Smith creation.
On the stage with II Married a
Witch" the Capitol will present a
show featuring Cross and Dunn,
radio stage and night club singers,
Sibyl Bowman, talented impression
list; Columbus and Carroll, dancers;
Bert Nagle, acrobatic dancer, and
the Rhythm Rockets.

tain an abiding faith in the future
and progress.
In telling Of the evolution OF the
eternal little man and his 1amily'
from the Ice Age, 5000 BE-, to tu-
ture horizons when wars end, any
war, he romps all over the play
house, cartoons some OF our cur
rent ideas and regimented habits,
iniects a bit OF vaudeville, jibes with
those who might be inclined to peer
into its idoicyncrasies. The audi
ence is counseled not to take 1t Sc
riously by direct admonition from
the irrepressible Sabina, and one
learns sardonically that the stage
manager has problems when seven
of his cast come down suddenly with
ptomaine poisoning.
Helter- Shelter Action.
This is helter- -skelter and zany
drama when measured by the usual
Monday night yardstick. For his
departure from grooved highways
of routine dramatic expression, Pro-
ducer Myerberg has fortified the
Wilder script with cast OF emf
nence, gorgeously versed in Equity
letters. Tallulah Bankhead, Flor
ence Eldredge, Frederic March and
Florence Reed are amiably and ex-
pertly supported by such Towering
youth as Frances Heflin and Mont
gomery Cliff. They give the Wilder
words, sparkle, vivaciousness and
bounce. Never does 1t become do
iorous, nor anything more than a
flippant, but searching analysis OF
human foibles and fancies, man
kinds weaknesses and strength un-
der natures burdens, and those
conceived by his own folly. The
devil-may-care spirit animates 1t
from start to finish.
Abandoning time as an equation,
"Skin of Our Teeth" tells Of George
Antrobus of Excelsior. N. j., his wife
and two children. He is the scien-
tist who has inveted the wheel and
the alphabet, while Mrs. Antrobus
typified the devoted mother whose
constancy and affection is endless.
For household pets they have a
dinosaur and a mammoth, and a
voluble and discontented maid of
all work, Lily Sabina. They play it
in modern dress with such anach-
ronisms as singing kilograms, until
the mountains OF ice float from the
