CAPITOL
“SOFT CUSHIONS” “Soft Cushions,” starring Douglas Mac Lean, is being shown at the Capitol Theatre. “Soft Cushions” is a rollicking story of Arabian Nights love and intrigue, through which Mac Lean swaggers his way in a series of funny episodes. As a daring young thief, he invades the sacred harems, woos the most beautiful slave girl, is arrested, imprisoned and sentenced to death, escaping each time by his nimble wits, to win fortune and the girl. The late George Randolph Chester, originator of “Get Rich Quick Wallingford,” is credited with “Soft Cushions.” Eddie Cline, who directed “Let It Rain,” again piloted Mac Lean. Sue Carol, a newcomer to the screen, heads a cast of notable players. “The Love Thrill,” starring Laura La Plante, is also being shown.
Hugh Leland, who has an important part in Paramount’s “Legion of the Condemned,” was signed on a contract by Paramount following his success in the air picture.
