EWING SHIFT MA5IE" STARTS
 AT CAPITOL

Timely as it's title and dynamic ally showing the work of American women at war, Ann Sotherns lat est adventure as the effervescent showgirl, Maisie, begins Sunday at the Capitol Theatre.
 In Swing Shift Maisie" the star deserts show business and dons overalls when she takes a job on the assembly line of an aircraft factory in western town.
 When James Craig, handsome test pilot, goes to a night club to cool off because his boss has block ed his enlistment in the air corps by declaring him essential, he ac- cidentally breaks up a dog act in the floor show. With the result John Qualen, the owner. and Maisie, his pretty assistant, are out of jobs. Craig manages to get them jobs at the factory and settles down to romance with Maisie.
 All goes well until Masie saves the life of glamorous Jean Rogers, who proceeds to steal Craig right out from under her very pretty nose. But when, in an effort to get Maisie out of the way, she ac- cuses her of sabotage Craig realizes he has made grave mistake, and all ends happily for the lovers.

event, the priorities provided by law for veterans and the seniority system used by most employers and unions in laying off surplus labor would initiate against them.
 And some employers who now complain that absenteeism is too high among women workers would welcome an opportunity to return to an all-male force.
 With this exception, the postwar outlook for women workers is gen. erally about what it is for men. There is no doubt that the war has opened new vistas for both women workers and employers, but not ones that both wouldn't have found anyway within a few years had there been no war-that is, if Gen. sus figures don't lie. And if they do, it would be the first time.

 World Tours

The evangelist undertook seyera world tours. Tn thespring of 193t the British Administration of Pal. estine asked her to leave Jeru. salem because it was feared tha Moslem troubles then going or
 might be aggravated by her evan. gelism.
 In November of that year sht figured in another official episode when she was refused permission to land in Balboa because she hac travelled from Port Linon. Costa Rica, under the alias of Betty Adams, British governess" ana could not produce a British pass port to go with that cognomen She had to return to Costa Rica where she suffered nervous breakdown requiring medical at- tention.
 The vigorous pursuit of life be- gan to wear and in 1881 her health broke. For weeks she was locked in seaside cottage near Los An geles. In hope of regaining her health, she again toured the world and upon her return she married David Hutton, plump, good na- tured choir singer.
 Breach Of PrOrniSe
 They went to Central America on honeymoon and she contracted tropical illness which nearly cost her life. Then Hutton was sued for breach of promise by a nurse. Myrtle St. Pierre, who claimed he tilted her for the evangelist, and won a $5,O0O judgement.
 When Sister Aimee" heard of the verdict, still weak from the illness, she fell in faint and suf- fered a brain concussion. For some time her doctors were frankly per- turbed over the probable outcome
 After weeks of illness, she slipped away and finally was discovered on a world tour boat bound for China with her daughter, Roberta. On this trip, the daughter fell in love with the purser, William Smyth, and the young people were mar ried in the temple by the evan- gelist upon their return from the world tour.
 About this time, romance spread rapidly in the evangelist's family. Her son married Lorna Dee Smith, student in the Temple Bible school, and her mother married Guy Edward Hudson after a troublesome romance in which he was threa tened with bigamy charges, later smoothed over by a divorce from another wife in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"ST0RMY WEATHER" WITH EVERYTHING AT 10TH CENTURY

From vaudeville, night clubs and musical comedy, as well as from Hollywood, 20th Century-Fox has assembled an array of entertain ment headliners for their top-notch musical, Stormy Weather" which opens Sunday at the 20th Century
 Something new in musicals, Stormy Weather" has film-full Of stars combined with a story that is a cavalcade of rhythm. Boast- ing the best tunes of all, its pro- duction numbers are among the finest ever filmed. stormy Weather" is the story of swing on the upbeat 4" from the era of jazz. ragtime and blues to the tor rid, tuneful tempos of today.
 Lena Horne, Bill Robinson and Cab Galloway and his band top the cast of the tune-packed film.
 The story, which covers the per- iod right after the last war up to the present day, sets the stage for the musical numbers by ingenious use of the flash-back device.
 Lena Horne, who burst on the horizon of the show world last year, handles most of the vocaliz- ing, and she can sing with the best.
 As for Bill Robinson, there never was tap dancer who could touch him - and that holds true in stormy Weather" In addition, Bill proves himself a talented comedian by his delft handling of the key role
 Cab Galloway, renowned for his bands music as well as his own singing, stands out. His capers are aimed at bringing smiles, and his music sets ones toes a-tingling as they play.
 Other headliners in the cast in clude Katherine Dunham and her troupe, Fats Waller-whose magic at the keyboards is sensational and the Nicholas Brothers, masters of the art of terpischore, Ada Brown and Dooley Wilson.
