September 16, 1940 DAILY NEBRASKA 17 t Local theaters feature new fall pictures; comedies, adventure stories predominate With more theaters running at full capacity than Lincoln haa peen for several years, and with all of the local cinema houses fea turing the big pictures of the early fall spason, student movie fans re turning to school can find almost any type of entertainment their taste demands. At the new Varsity the old Liberty made over by a complete face lifting job, Ilay Milland and Ixnetta Young are starring In Columbia's "The Doctor Takes a Wife." The film tells the story of a man who doesn't believe in career women and then accident nlly marries one. He finally falls in love after almost tangling in a lot of unpleasant newspaper publicity. The combination of ca reer woman versus career man makes for one of the gayest com edies of the fall season. At the Lincoln. Clark Cable, Ppencer Tracy, Claudetle Colber' and Heddy Lamarr are still pack ing in the customers for "Boom Town," current saga of the devel opment of the oil fields. Gable plays a hard-boiled oil field worker as though the part were written for him. Tracy, Colbert and La marr also turn in excellent per formances to make the picture tops in entertainment. At the Stuart Errol Flynn is Btarring in Warner's "Sea Hawk. The picture, a swashbuckling story of privateering on the high seas is another of the series character izing Flynn as a typical Robin Hood. For an adventure picture, the "Sea Hawk" ranks high in the Flynn series which included "Cap tain Fury" and "Captain Blood." New feature at the Nebraska theater starting today is "Gold Rush Maizie," starring Ann Soth ern in the title role. Second fea ture at the Nebraska is "Waterfront." "Torrid Zone," starring James Cagney and Ann Sheridan has been moved to the Kiva from the new Varsity. If you like the Cag ney pictures you will probably like "Torrid Zone" as it is typical Cagney.
