} LOVELY GIRLS, GOOD THEME, E
 BILL AT CAPITOL

Keep Your Powder Dry" the new Metro Goldwyn- Mayer hit at the Capitol Theatre boasts one of the eeason's top casts in one of the years finest film offerings. It stars no less a lovely and talented tric than Lana Turner, Laraine Day and Susan Peters.
 Keep Your Powder Dry is hu- man story of three girls, from differ ent walks of life, who join the cele- brated Women's Army Corps. Each has different motivation: Lana as the spoiled Valerie Parks, enlists in order to protect an inheritance Laraire, as the Army brat, Leigh Rand, is confident of her superiority because of her upbringing and train- ing; and Susan, as Ann Garrison, has a husband in the service over seas and wants to do her own bit to help speed the victory.
 Almost from the first moment they meet, Val and Leigh are en- emies. Val resents Leigh's "knoW-it- all' attitude, and Leigh sneers at the girl accustomed to soft living who seems to be out of place in the Corps. Ann finds herself keeping the two at peace and sometimes she succeeds, although more often she doesn't.
 Through the various phases of the girls training the picture remains a fascinating study in human relation ships, at the same time providing an inspirational as well as highly en- tertaining cinema fare.
