TWO FEATURES AT CAPITOL AS
 WEEKEND BILL

| Two cleverly executed murders provide the story of RKO Radios latest offering in the popular "Fal- con" series, The Falcon and the Co-eds," featuring Tom Conway as the master sleuth, is one of the two features at the Capitol this week.
 The two killings take place at a fashionable school for girls, involve several students as possible suspects, almost lead to the death of a third victim and endanger the life of The Falcon. Two police officers work at cross purposes with The Falson and almost permit the guilty party to escape.
 The Falcon is called to the school when a professor dies under myster- ious circumstances and it is revealed that death was caused by an over dose of sleeping tablets. The dean of the school attempts to cover up the matter and is herself killed a day later.
 The final solution of the crime provides an exciting and entirely unexpected climax to a series of thrilling episodes.
 Filled to the brim with fun and surprises, RKO Radios newest farce feature, Rockies in Burma" stars the comedy team of Wally Brown and Alan Carney in what is said to be the seasons most hilarious hit. This is the second feature.
 The two stars portray a couple of cratic soldiers who are captured by the Japs, decide they don't like the life in prison camp and leave for home, accompanied by their frustrated sergeant, a jeep and some valuable documents.
