Shirley Temple
Movie Held

Shirley Temple, charming VI
vacious little actress, began a sec
ond week in Captain January"
current at Loew's Palace Thea
ter. Aided and abetted by Guy
Kibbee and Slim Summerville, the
precocious child has never been
more entertaining nor more low
able. Despite a rather trite and
over-Sweet story, Shirley is the
peak of perfection in some Of
the best song and dance numbers
she has as yet assumed.
The tale has to do with a good
natured if not too well educated
lighthouse keeper, who has res
cued a little girl from sea trag.
edy and is bringing her up to
the best of his ability. Kibbee is
the well-meaning captain and
as understanding and honey a
person as could be found along
the Atlantic seaboard. Slim Sum.
merville then is a Government
inspector, who likewise looks after
the young lady. A new truant
officer determines to take tn Q
child from the captains custody
and therein rests the whole story,
the thwarting of this plan.
THE Goldfish Ball" and you're
the Sweetest" are but a sample
of the gay tunes which make up
Shirley'S singing repertoire and
her dancing is even more delight.
full, for she presents an array Of
novelty numbers, a sailor dance
and a tap, which it would be hard
to beat, and all the time looking
like a beautiful doll. Captain
January" is solely done for the
edification of this unsurpassed lit
tie entertainer, and as such may
rate a very high spot in the sea-
sons cinema offerings.
LA Fiesta" a technicolor sup
Elemental feature, is especially
noteworthy, not only as a vehicle
presenting some of Hollywood'S
best known stars, but as perhaps
the most beautiful color film yet
to emerge from that great mo-
ton picture center. The g ala
Spanish dance, set amidst tropical
splendor. boasts the most exqui-
site coloring in the widest range
Of shadings. Not only are many
and varied colors noted, but the
minuteSt shadings, striped Shawls
and the like, far departure from
the first technicolor novelty Of
so few years ago.

O|QndOs'ChOn'
At Columbia

Holding forth this week at the
Columbia is that suavest Of ace
detectives, Charley Chan. This
willy Oriental always amaZes and
never disappoints whenever he is
pressed on a crime. His newest
escapadeS carry him to the glamor
of the sawdust ring and life under
the big top. And so "At the Cir.
Gus" offers all the thrills Of the
usual attendance at a circus plus
a murder mystery that remains
battling to the very end. Warner
Glands playing of Mr. Chan is al,
ways a pleasure and the very re-
Gently added character Of his son
played by Keye Luke brings double
interest.
Life with the Kinney and
Gaines Circus outfit never be-
comes a monotony; there is al
ways something unexpected turn
ing up. With the opening Of this
story Kinney is murdered under
most peculiar circumstances. SuS-
picion points to every member of
the troupe. Clues point to a big
ape, who has been turned loose.
It is particularly mystifying when
it is discovered the key to the
apes cage is missing.
Working on the theory that a
person given enough rope even
tually hangs himself, Chan joins
the circus with an eye to uncover
the culprit. From then on the
thrills start happening. The cool
Medicines and philosophical
proverbs in the end bring about
the denouement and solve every
thing.
Never dragging in interest, the
film is packed with every sort of
enjoyment for young and old.
GLAND and Luke are aided by a
large and capable cast. Other
attractions consist of a Hearst
News reel, a Terry Tune comedy,
and Buster Keaton in one of his
humorous efforts. D. M.

the call of youth to youth. all tied
neatly in comedy titled Love on

It seems that some boys have

the meat-packing business. They
make an agreement; If nephew

Helen Broderick is tops as the
sour-visaged aunt of the beautiful

Gary Cooper plays Longfellow

manner that adds tremendously to
the characters appeal. Mr.. Deeds
Of Mandrake Falls was content to
play the tuba in the town band
and be an easy going country phil
anthropist until the city lawyers
arrived to inform him Of his be-
quest.
So Mr.. Deeds goes to town to
gather his fortune and confront
those who are eager to get a part
Of it. A girl reporter assigned to
follow his adventures dubs him

HUMAN INTEREST STORY
1t was Author Blake who de-
cided that the obscure DR.. DaFoe
Of the remote Canadian settle
ment had heroic qualities Using
him as typifying the seldom
heard-of physicians who serve the
countryside, for humanity's sake
rather than riches, he turned out
in THE Country Doctor" a
script rich in emotional quality,
tender and consistently interest
ing. It is a beautiful blend Of
laughter and tears.
Jean Hersholt plays DR.. Luke.
the hero Of the Canadian settle
ment, who for IS years struggled
to maintain health in the tiny
lumber community. BY pulling
the village through an epidemic
he is able to center interest on
the need for disqualification but
the unexpected arrival Of quintu-
pletS in the home Of Asa Wyatt
focuses the attention Of the world
on this soldier of peace.
The Governor General Of Can
ada eventually comes to dedicate
the long-sought hospital, and DR..
Luke gets the Order of the Brit
ish Empire.
The birth of the babies and the
later introduction Of the Dionne
cherubs provide the dramatic
smash of the picture. Director
Henry King contrives to visualize
the amazement that gripped this
poverty-Stricken household when
one baby after another is brought
by the overloaded Stork, to be
wrapped up in improvised blan.
kets and deposited by the fire
place.
Slim Summerville as a dull witted
sheriff and John Qualen as the
bewildered father of the babies
make this multiple birth a riot
of laughter without sacrificing
any of the respect and sympathy
that such an unusual occasion
deserves.
SAVO is HEADLINER
Jean Hersholt offers the finest
Characterization he has ever given
to pictures with Dorothy Peterson
as the nurse; June Lang, Michael

give his fortune away in a farm
homestead experiment, they &C.
cuSe him of being slightly nutty.
It is in the courtroom scene,
where Mr.. Deeds succeeds in prov
ing he is mentally competent, that
the picture reaches the height Of
suspense and humor. In this Sc
quence they poke satirical fun at
the psychiatriSts and mental ex-
perts, with Deeds raising a doubt
as to whether anybody is sane.
The highly Incredible and farcical
finale will be excused by those who
want the picture to end just this
way.
CARRIER BAND SCORES
Capra's direction is both deft
and clever, emphasizing laughter
and filling his story with human
touches that register solidly. Gary
Cooper's excellent work is bril-.
liantly backed up by Jean Arthur.
