CAPITOL
Appropriately titled “Speed” the
picture which shows Wednesday and
Thursday at the Capitol Theatre
Brownsville effectively mirrors the
breakneck pace of the modern gen-
eration.
Produced by Lucien Hubbard for
Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer “Speed” was
directed by Edwin L. Marin with
James Stewart Wendy Barrie Una
Merkel Weldon Heyburn Ted Healy
Ralph Morgan and Patricia Wilder.
Miss Barrie as the daughter of
an executive working incognito in
the publicity department of the com-
pany provides the romantic inter-
est. James- Stewart in the role of
the dare-devil test driver who loves
her gives the finest performance of
his promising career.
The story concerns the adven-
tures of a handsome young test driv-
er who has invented a new car-
buretor which he installs in a rac-
ing car. The picture turns to a
phase of American life that has not
been touched on the screen be-
fore and it results in a swiftly-mov-
ing drama of romance and action
that opens a new field for the cam-
eras and the screen writers.
