MURDER MYSTERY
 COMEDY VARIETY
 NOW AT CAPITOL

The most mirthful murder mys- tery to hit the screen in recent years yesterday came to the Capi- tol Theatre It is Columbias de- lightful "A Night to Remember, CO., starring Loretta Young and Brian Ahern and it richly deserves it's Hollywood exclamation as some thing new in laughter
 "A Night to Remember" is a gay and giddy story of young married couple who, between kisses. hunt killers. As Nancy and Jeff Troy, who move into Greenwich Village in search of atmosphere" and in- stead find a corpse and an assorted collection of peculiar characters, the Columbia co-stars leave nothing to be desired. Both are brilliantly at home in sophisticated, blithely wisecracking roles, both are easy to look at, both are extremely tal- ented; together they make thor oughly enjoyable co-starring team.
 Richard Wallace directed the new film, from the screen play by Rich ard Flournoy and Jack Henley Samuel Bischoff produced "A Night to member'-which, incidentally, takes place in the appropriately named Gay Street.

STORY OF AIR
 WAR SHOWING 10TH CENTURY

Filling the goth Century Theatre screen with thrills, International Squadron" which opened there yesterday, is just about the most exciting film fare you could ask for. Strong personal drama, and the breathless adventures of the valiant men who are writing his tory in the skies, combine to make International Squadron" the big adventure story of the year.
 Of all the R. A. F.s fighting units, the most colorful is the fam ous International Squadron. Aces from every corner of the globe from Czechoslovakia, Poland, Nor way, Holland, Belgium, France and from America have cast their lot with the British fliers in their bat ties against the Luftwaffe. The world has never seen their equal in courage and heroism and the screen story has done full justice to this without exaggerating it in the least.
 Magnificent camera work has given the picture some of the most thrilling aerial warfare scenes ever shown.
