Tomorrow brings "The Barrets of Wimplc Street" starring beautiful Norma Shearer. Producer and di- rectoi have worked hand in hand and achieved the finest Limitation of q famous stage play ever to be recorded in celluloid.
 For The BarrettS of Wimpole Street" is a brilliant production brilliantly conceived, written, act ed, directed and framed. Norma Shearer and Fredric March do more than present tender, poe tic love story; they actually bring the invalided Elizabeth Barrett and the poet Robert Browning to life. Anl as the grim, uncompromising father whose diabolica1 influence motivates the drama, Charles Laughton turns in performance which compares well with his re- cent interpretation of Henry the Eighth.
 The supporting players are equally inspired and equally well CasI. NO one ever danced the polka more gaily than does the Irish lass, Maureen O'Sullivan: nor looked more gallant than Ralph Forbes as Captain Cook; nor more sadly resigned than Katharine Alexander; nor flirted more ex- pertly than Marion Clayton. Leo Carroll and Ferdinand Munier are excellent as Elizabeth's doctors, while Ian Wolfe and Vernon Down ing are. at home as Bevan and Oc- tavius--the parts they. created on the stage.

--- Hollywood News and Gossip DECLINED MOVIE OFFER UNTIL SHE WAS READY
Florence Rice Wanted Stage Training Before Entering Pie tures Now She's We'll Her Way to Stardom Screen
Rv DAN THOMAS

NEA Service Staff Correspondent.
 Hollywood. d.-Because she turned down her first screen offer, Flor ence Rice is well on her way to- ward the goal of nearly all cinema players-stardom.
 It was four years ago that the young daughter of Grantland Rice, noted sports authority, said NO" on Broa dway in June Moon. Will liam Perlberg, Columbia casting di- rector, was struck by her personal ity and performance and at once oered her contract.
 To say that he was surprised by her negative reply would be put ting it mildly. Studio casting di- rectors aren't used to having young actresses spurn contracts. That she did only made her the more desir- able.
 But, although screen stardom has been her goal right from the start, she wouldn't even listen to movie offers until this year.
 Tt wasn't that I didn't want to work in pictures," it was simply that I felt the need of good stage background" Florence confidcd to me. Besides, I always have heard that the person who is hard to get is valued far more highly"
 Listening finally to Columbia's pleas, Miss Rice placed her name on a contract. And now, with two pictures already behind her, she actually is exceeding the expecta- tions of those executives who were so anxious to sign her.
