'HCODLUM SAINT
 SHARES TOMlGHI
 AT 2OTH CENTURY

Stirring entertainment is coming to the 20th Century Theatre to- night in The Hoodlum Saint" starring William Powell In a dra- matic role.
 Powell plays the role of a man who scoffs at faith in anything ex- cept the power of money. This brings him into conflict with the views of Esther Williams, co-star- red in the new production, as the girl whom Powell loves, but who turns him down when she realizes ,hGt hls frantic pursuit of wealth and power can bring them nothing but unhappiness.
 As an undercurrent to the story premise is the mysterious working of Saint Dismas. patron of buns and hoodlums, whose scoffers live to wonder at the power of some- thing they cannot see The tie up of this mysterious Saint and the regeneration of the man whose worldly ambition has brought him to the brink of ruin makes for dramatic intensity and emotional wallop.
 Angela Lansbury has the role of the "other woman" in this produc- ton.

'TRE SENATOR WAS INDLSCREET" LS FAST COMEDY AT CAPITOL

Senator" William Powell could run fer almost any public office and win hands down if voters had just come from seeing his hilarious role in The Senator Was Indis- erect"
 Powell gives the most delightful performance of his career in the rollicking political comedy, Uni versal- al-International picture which is at the Capitol Theatre.
 Although one agrees with his op- ponents in the story that he shouldn't be President, one can't help liking the old boy and his ience-riding, promise-filled policies.
 "The Senator Was Indiscreet" is fresh and original screen entertain ment and enc of the funniest pie lures ever made. It rates at the top also, as exciting fare, since the comedy event are hung on a highly suspenseful plot.
 Its comedy varies from farce to peppery satire, and it as typically American as pot likker" or ham hooks and shortnin bread which Powell, as Senator Melvin G. Ash ton, advocates for all the people.
 Powell, in the story, decides he wants to be President and cam paigns on his own when his party refuses support. His ace-in-the- hoe is a diary which eventually proves his downfall.
 Ella Raines portrays a crusading 4wspaperwoman and chief oppon- ent of Powell. Arleen Whelan is pretty political hanger-on and Ray Collins gives grand perform ance as the party boss, Houlihan. Peter Lind Hayes, gifted comed- ian. is the Senator's press agent.
