CAPITOL
“THE GORILLA” “The Gorilla,” now being shown at the Capitol Theatre, is an adaptation of Ralph Spence’s stage play of the same name, and combines all the elements of fun and chills that made the legitimate version so popular. The situations in the motion picture have been enlarged over those in the stage play. It is reported to be a combination of the weirdest, spookiest mystery and the greatest comedy imaginable. Murray and Kelsey have the roles of the two dumb detectives, Mulligan and Garrity, whose greatest problem is to keep together. The gorilla is a whole melodrama in himself. His huge bulk and tremendous size present a ferocious aspect. A four hundred pound gorilla is menace enough for any picture. “The ‘Wrong Mr. 'Wright,” starring Jean Herscholt, is also being shown at the Capitol.
