CAPITOL
NEW PROGRAMME Alone in a great city, driving a notorious car on which police have been ordered to shoot at sight, unable to abandon it, fleeing from officers, crooks and an irate uncle! This situation should be exciting enough for any farce comedy and it provides a screamingly funny climax to the Universal-Jewel production, “Taxi! Taxi!” one of the most amusing pictures of the season, which will be shown at the Capitol Theatre tonight. The picture is sheer hilarity and nothing more, yet it seldom taxes one’s credulity, and has a basis of plausibility even in its • wildest moments. One’s interest is sustained without a single let-down, from the moment Edward Everett Horton, featured player in the production, appears on the screen in the opening sequence, until he manages to wed Marian Nixon after six reels or more of excitement enough to make a Chicago policeman turn grey. “Too Many Crooks” will also be shown to-night.
