MYSTERY HIT
''Finqers at The Window
Is High Class ChilIer
at Capitol Theatre

A band of murderers, hypnoucal-
ly controlled by a mind miles away,
provides excitement in new type
of Hollywood mystery in Fingers
at the window with Lew Ayres,
LARAMIE Day and Basil Rathbone,
now playing at the Capitol Theatre.
The story opens with an epidemic
of axe murders in Chicago, commit
ted by lunatics who, when appre-
hended. remember nothing. Ayres
enacts a young actor who turns
amateur detective when the muir
derers menace Miss Day, playing a
night club dancer.
Despite police opposition he
works on the theory that single
mind with purpose is directing the
killings. and by shrewd deduction
he finds the key to the mystery
amid attempts to murder him by
insulin shock, by throwing him be-
fore an oncoming elevated train for
simulated accident, and finally in
a battle for life at the dramatic
climax

10Th Century Thriller Is Not
Another Run OF The
Mill Type

Backed by a punch-packed story
the ex-All American grid star
John Kimbrough, plays the role oil
o young marshal who is sent into
the Oklahoma bad lands to main
tain law and order. in the current
film at the goth Century Theatre.
He has tough time OF 1t for a
while, because he finds that he is
up against some of the worst out
laws in the country. But with the
help of a straight shooting gun
and a pair of dynamite packed
fists, Johnny comes through to
clean out the crooks and restore
peace to the community.
Unlike most Westerns, there is
a real effort in Shutdown jim TO
make it first class film fare. Boast
ing an impressive set and an out
standing cast, the film is packed
with suspenseful situations and well
worked out dramatic action. Kim
brough shows promise, and may be-
come the first Saturday idol to turn

OVERTIME BILL
PASSES HOUSE,
IS WORD HERE

According to a radiogram receiv-
ed from Washington D. c., by Hugh
j. Wade president of the local
branch of the National Federation
of Federal Employees, the bill re-
establishing overtime for all Fed
eral employees was adopted yester-
day by the House as submitted in
Conference Committee report.
The bill lacks only the Presi-
Dental signature in order to be-
come law, since it was previously
passed by the Senate. 1t also makes
provision for beginning May /,
which will be relief to those who
make out Federal payrolls, who
might subsequently have had to
prepare supplementary payroll
for the period to cover the interim,
MI. Wade said.
The new bill with certain modi-
fications, reenacts the law provid-
ing overtime for Federal employees
which expired April 30.
