NEW THIN MAN" PICTURE OPENING
 HERE Al CAPITOL
William Powell and Myrnd LoY Again Star in
 Defective Film

M-G-Ms Thin Man" pictures have always set a record for witty, sophisticated entertainment, and Shadow of the Thin Man" which opens Sunday at the Capitol with William Powell and Myrna Loy again cast as Nick and Nora Charles, proves no exception.
 Showing the sure touches of Maj. w S. Van Dyke II, the director who has piloted all the previous Thin Man" dramas to success, and knowingly cast with a group of comedy-wise supporting players, among them Barry Nelson, Donna Reed, Sam Levine, Alan Baxter and Henry O'Neill, the new epi- sodes of the detective and his scin- tillating wife in no way falters on the path of true comedy drama.
 Shadow of the Thin Man" starts with an apparent murder at a race trick. A variety of suspicious char acters are involved, including two rival newspaper men, the head of the State Athletic Commission, a big shot gambler, betting com- missioner and the latter's blonde girl friend. The mystery gets into seemingly insoluble muddle until young reporter friend of Nick s is arrested after a second murder. This brings Powell, as Nick Charles, into the case and he uses his own distinctive methods to bring the real murderer to light.

as a fractions Irish hunter who'd

gave a crisp order to a groom.
lnY's knees shook so they nearly
buckled under her.
Until this horrible moment she
had not realized how deeply she had
counted on that fiend Joe's words -
doubt if any of 'ern ever even saw
a sidesaddle" - to provide an ele-
CANT exit.
Though she had put herself
through the hoops to prepare for
this very disaster if it should befall,
she had never actually believed it
would befall.
Now only Miracle straight from
heaven could save her.
Lily stared balefully at The Horse,
which appeared to be trying to kick
the roof off the stable out of sheer
excess of vitamins A, B. c and D.
She stared so intently that the Mir

perceive the sudden clatter of hooves
as a stranger rode into the court
yard.
She did not notice the sudden buzz
of comment. 1t was Carols voice,
raised in sharp protest, that recalled
her.
Lily turned her head. Carols face
was as black as thundercloud.
Hunched forward on big horse,
a little man was cracking orders at
her. Lily's gaze came to rest upon
his face, then chung in mute aston

Grossly, ''how they knew to come

Lily remained aloof from the
chorus of speculation. If anyone had
ever told her that the sight of Joe
the Torturer would be pleasing, she
would never have believed it. But
the vision of him, hunched on his big
horse, cracking orders at Carol, was
now enshrined in hallowed spot in
her memory.
Dear old Joe," thought Lily
fondly. Thank heavens told him
all about the hunt"
"How about some bridge?" Carol
was proposing lamely. A parcel of
women in riding clothes to entertain
for the day was clearly on the grim
side.

Carol herded her guests toward

But Lily tripped lightly after her
hostess.

of granite. On the third y
night, when the crisis
was at its worst, she even
rode Bernice, her maid and scep-
tical soul by nature, to the point of
tears.
MADAME" she wept as she min
istered, "you will kill yourself"
'I'm as good as dead already"
moaned Lily. "And if these should
be my last words to you, Bernice,
treasure them. Never have anything
to do with a horse" She moved,
unwisely, and emitted sharp yelp.
do you think another pillow
here might ease you?" asked Bemice.
Lily ignored the pillow. "If I die
during the night, Bernice." she said
dramatically, remember - Mr..
Thorndyke is never to know of this"
"Never, Madame" Bernice prom
ised tearfully.
Each evening, Lily called on all
the saints to witness that she would
never, neser, again approach horse.
Yet each morning she delivered her
stiff, aching, lacerated body into the
grim hands of that arch-torturer, Joe.
Three things drove her on. First,
she was by nature one who, having
laid her hand to the plow. never
turned back - though she some
times cut many a fancy furrow.
Second, she wasn't going to lose
face before Carol, and let Jason
down, if it killed her.
Thirdly, there was the thrifty i'm
pulse that she didn't want to waste
all that good pain and suffering by
quitting now.
BY the time they boarded the
train for Long Island, however, Lily
could lower the rear portion of her
anatomy onto the plush without Wis
ible signs of agony. She felt decidedly
Marie Antoinettish, and the guillo-
tine loomed large. Joe had warned
her in no uncertain terms that she'd
break her neck if she got any but
the gentlest horse. And it did not
take high voltage of feminine in
tuition to imagine the mount Carol
would select for her.
Still, she had gambled her all on
her will-o'-the-wisp, and its glim-
mering family sustained her.
HE morning of the hunt could not
have been fairer.
Lily, who had prayed for rain,
hail, a tornado or a blizzard, could
only regard the brazen Blue sky as
personal affront.
She made her entrance on the
scene little late.
Her golden hair was knotted low
on her neck, and cleaned through
the sheer black veil swathing her
smart little derby.
A black cape fell to her boots. She
looked so superlatively beautiful

gasped.

going to be far worse than she'd
bargained for. But it was hers not
