 BILLED AT CAPITOL

Murder, mingled with Gilbert and Sullivan melodies. provides a new thrill in the picturized suspensa drama, Universals Girl on the Spot" which is at the Capitol to- night.
 Authors of this film were thoughtful enough to provide their homicide in the first few feet of footage. It is committed in full view of the audience. There are no such problems as who did it, what was the motive, nor "whar's the murder weapon" to contend with. The spectators can merely relax and watch the principal characters, headed by lovely brunette Lois Collier and Jess Barker, the movies new masculine attraction, hit upon the solution.
 And while relaxed, the audience can enjoy some Of the most C'e- lightful tunes composed for such popular light opera favorites as "Pinafore" and Pirates of Pen- zance,' as sung by choruses of Hollywood's favorite voices.
 A large featured cast is headed by Barker and Miss Collier and in cludes Fuzzy Knight, George De- lenz. Ludwig Stossel Edward s. Brophy and Richard Lane.

BETTY HUTTON E GLAM0R0US STAR
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Betty Hutton has vehicle made to order for her multifarious talents in Paramount's Technicolor produc- ticn, "Incendiary Blonde adapted from the adventurous life-story Of Texas Guinan, toast of the town in her heyday.
 The picture, which opened last night at the goth Century Theatre, oo-stars that dashing Mexican cavalier, Arture de Cordova, in a typical American story of the rip roaring 'twenties when the country was young and reckless. Also fea- tured in the cast are Barry Fitz- gerald, Charles Ruggles and Alert Dekker.
 Fer the first time, film audiences will get a good glimpse of all the fascinating facts of the Hutton personality Formerly intrigued by her nonstop marathon vocalizing, many neglected to note that pin up allure which is stuff for the barracks walls, no matter which way you turn. And you turn more than once when Betty dons the glamorous Edith Head creations.
 In "Incendiary Blonde" Betty gees the whole hog to bring to life the unrivalled story of the spectac- ular Miss Guinan. This includes riding bucking bronchos in wild western rodeo, cavorting on the stage like an acrobat daredevil, and wowing the blase nitery crowd with "kcllo sucker" line that has 'em beating down the cash register.
