OCTAGON THEATRE
The screen version of Thorne Smith’s witty novel, “ The Passionate Witch," will be presented at the Octagon Theatre tomorrow, under the title of “ I Married a Witch.” Fredric March and Veronica Lake are featured in this gay film, and the supporting cast includes Robert Beachley, Susan Hayward, and Cecil Kellaway. Miss Lake is first seen as a spirit travelling through' pace in company with her sorcerer-father (Kellaway), with the intention of finding a body in order to perform some fiendish witchcraft against the hero (March) to prevent him from being elected governor of the State, and from marrying his sweetheart (Miss Hayward). How the situation develops into an involved romantic triangle, made more ludicrous by mysterious witchcraft, is told in the ensuing scenes. •
