SHADOW OF 4 DOUBT" OPENS
 CAPITOL SHOW

 Said to contain all the sustained excitement of former Hitchcock films, Shadow of Doubt" it is claimed, strikes a more intimate and romantic note than it's prede- eessors such as "The Thirty Nine Steps The Lady vanishes,' Re becca,' Suspicion" and "Saboteur,' all celebrated Hitchcock screen suc- cesses.
 An average American town anc an average American family arc iramatized in the action of Shadow of a Doubt" The story concerns a notorious fugitive mur- 8erer who hides out incognito with distant relatives. They are totally unaware of his criminal record

GREAT COMEDY
 IS DUE TONIGHT
 AT 2OTH CENTURY

Road companies are commonplace in the flesh and blood theatre. But a movie road company is something of a novelty. Maybe, according to the strict definition of the term, the combination of Bing Crosby, Bob Hope, and Dorothy Lamour and their screen comedy travels, doesn't qualify, but they spell prize Road company to film fans from coast to coast.
 First united in Road to Singa- pore" in 1889 they brought so much pleasure to movie patrons that the, Paramount studio sent them out again the very next year in Road to Zanzibar" That one was re- ceived even more enthusiastically establishing a permanent public af- lection for the characters played by the three stars, which, although the names varied, were essentially the same. Hope and Crosby were again pair of roistering vaga- bonds, Lamour the luscious native girl for whom they vied.
 This year the trio continues the relationship on film iaunt to the land of sheiks and sand dunes. The new Paramount comedy is called Road to Morocco" and from all ] accounts, it is the best of the lot. Due tonight at the 20th Century Theatre, the film finds Crosby and Hope shipwrecked on the shores of Morocco They invade an Oriental hash house and gorge themselves on the equivalent of seven course dinner. Bob, between bites, voic- ing his concern regarding the small matter of paying the big bill
 That's just the beginning. What happens makes for a riotous com- edy film. The gags are so numer- ous-and so are the laughs-that Road to Morocco is said to be che of the most screamingly funny pictures even produced
