Is it true what they say about
the movies? Quite a problem, the
one confronting a British film
company. They are shooting an
epic called David Livingstone,
in which Queen Victoria figures
very prominently. Now the catch
is that when the picture is shown
in England, Vicky will have to be
completely deleted, because there's
a censorship ban there against
royalty on either stage or screen.
But when the picture is shown in
Canada and the United States.
Vicky will be put right back in
again, on account of we have no
such bans.

A preview Of Green Pastures, "
Marc Connolly's fable, was given
yesterday by the management Of
the Earle Theater.
It is a difficult task to set down
any brief, and at the same time
coherent, opinion on this film. 1t
is not like anything the screen
has done before.
The film is a perturbation of
heaven as seen through the eyes
of the Negroes of the deep South.
A great deal of Biblical history is
woven into this most extraordi-
nary work. But everything is re-
duced to the simple images by
which the reverent Negroes trans
late the hereafter in their own
terms.
It is such a subject as a single
false touch would have damaged
irremediably. But there is not a
false touch in it.
Inc Tim mas been done rev.
erently and with perfect artistry.
1t is beautiful and profoundly
moving. It will be an unforget-
table experience to those who see
it.
Rex Ingram, as God. reaches
the heights of greatness in truly
noble performance,
There are many scenes. many
characters, in this pageant which
could be singled out and dwelt
upon. But there are so many of
them!
The film is a smooth, flowing
work Of artistry throughout. 1t is
impossible to see it and not feel
inspired. j. w. B.

STARS, SONGS, DANCES
MAKE THE NEW FILM
SHIRLEY'S GREATEST

It's always an event when Shirley
Temple comes to town, but according
to advance reports, when "The Poor
Little Rich Girl" the tiny stars new
Fox hit, opens Sunday at the Vogue
Theatre, Sandstone, it will be some
thing in a way of a celebration, an
epoch, a new milestone in entertain
ment, it is said.
For, definitely, the talented Temple
miss is said to give the performance
of her life in this new film and, to
top it off, she's surrounded by ver-
table gallery of Hollywood's bright
est stars including Alice Faye, Gloria
Stuart, Jack Haley and Michael Wha-
len.
Add to the star and the cast mod
ern. stirring, romantic story and five
bubbling new song hits by those ace
composers, Mack Gordon and Harry
Revel, and you have few of the rea-
sons why 1.-THE Poor Little Rich Girl"
is being hailed SO highly.
Shirley, of course. plays the title
role. She is seen as the daughter OF
Michael Whalen, a wealthy young
business man who is far too occupied
making money to devote much time
to his daughter.
Shirley persuades her daddy that
where she can associate and play
with other little children. Whalen
agrees, but instead of attending to
the task himself, delegates Sara
Haden to accompany her to the school.
Waiting for the train, Shirley wan
ders off. The busy sidewalks of New
York lure her on to adventure.
She is entranced by Tony, the or
gan grinder, and follows him to his
home. Tony already has large fam
lily but the new "bambina" so wins
him that he lets her stay with his
other children.
In the meantime, Miss Haden has
been run over by an automobile and
during the following days, Shirley's
absence goes unreported.
Jack Haley and Alice Faye, an out
of-wOrk vaudeville team, notice Shir-
ley singing and dancing Haley is
inspired with the thought that she
is just what the act needs, and des-
pite Miss Faye's protestations, she is
taken into the act.
The trio are successful in a radio
addition and are hired by Claude Gil
lingwater.
Whalen has met Gloria Stuart and
the two have fallen in love. She per-
suades Whalen to listen to Gilling-
waters new radio program and he is
astounded to recognize Shirley's voice
coming over the air.
Whalen doesn't just dash down to
the broadcasting studio and bring
Shirley home for several other COM
plications enter the plot and there's
whirlwind of exciting events be-
fore the thrilling climax is reached.
Shirley is said to perform astonish-
ing dances that top everything she has
ever done before and she sings five
new songs including when I'm With
YOU" But Definitely" You Gotta
Eat Your Spinach, Baby" "Oh, My
Goodness" and Military Man."
