SHIRLEY AT COLUMBIA
FOR THIRD WEEK HERE
Captain January" Strongly Ap-
peals to Temple Fans Among
Theatergoers.
CHIRLEY TEMPLES latest motor

SHIRLEY TEMPLES latest motion
picture, Captain January" fol-
lowing the standard local procedure
for Temple entertainments, yesterday
opened at Loew's Columbia, after its
regular two-week run at the Palace.
This. being the way things always go
with Shirley Temple pictures, is no
surprise to any one, but it is very
pleasant for the tiny charmer's num-
erous devotees, for it provides an op-
portunity to see for a second time
her latest exploits in the fields of
song, dance and histrionism.
Captain January" provides the
enchanting young lady with oppor-
tunities to do all those things she
does so well. She sings-three or four
new popular tunes all alone, and a
snatch of opera, with vocal accom-
paniment by Slim Summerville and
Guy Kibbee; she dances, this time
not with her old partner. Bill Robin
son. out with lanky Buddy Eben,
and she even has chance. now and
then in the film to get away from
merely being a pleasant and very
likeable little girl and really act. She
comes through with honors, too. and
carries off the heavier moments far
better than some Of Hollywood's
gilded ingenues
The plot of the film is pleasant
and believable. Shirley this time is
a little girl who has been tossed up
on the rocky New England coast, to
be discovered and raised by an old
lighthouse keeper The watcher of
the light loses his job to mechanical
device and Shirley to relatives who
are discovered, all of which is sad,
indeed, for Shirley has learned to
love Cap'n January. In the end
they're reunited, however. and every
thing is pleasant.
Shirley is at her best all the way
through, and if any of her fans have
missed Captain January so far,
they should take immediate steps to
remedy the situation. H. NJ.

THROUGH THE TEMPEST
American University Dramatic
Club Again Contributes to String

Club Again Contributes to String
of Good Productions.
WITH the advent Of Spring the
American University Dramatic
Club turns its thoughts to Shakes
peare, and commendable production
usually results. THE Tempest" pre-
sented last evening as this years
appreciation of the bard, did not break
the chain of meritorious efforts.
The show was borne in transcendent
measure, however, upon the shoulders
Of Stephano. Trincu!o and Caliban.
While the besotted butler and the
jester have been injected principally
for "relief." they teamed up last night
with the monster to romp through a
song and dance that pushed Prospero,
with all his philosophy, into the back
ground, and the audience loved It.
Edward Thrasher played Trinculo with
fine spontaneity, and Rowland Roberts
was an inebriate of no little veri-
similitude. Made up as a creature
of consummate hideousness, Edward
Hopper put heart and soul into
the characterization of Caliban, util-
idng a voice Of power and pliability
in expressing alternate hate and
sycophancy, wailing and moaning
occasionally in an approach to the
Cab Galloway manner.
Prospero was adequately limned by
Eugene Johnson, though guilty of
to restricted a voice range and
eschewing the opportunity for effect
in his lushest speech. Mr.. johnson
gave an acceptable accounting, but
declined to meet the histrionically
larcenous onslaughts of the three
gentlemen previously mentioned.
The Ariel of Lansing Hall left
nothing to be desired, while other
satisfactory portrayals were con-
tributed by Margaret Johnston, as
Miranda; Homer Patton, playing
Alfonso; Randall Book, in the role
of son Ferdinand; William Thompson,
Richard Hummer and Albert Cooper.

HELD IN WIFE'S DEATH

LUMBERTON, N. c., May 8 (P)-
A coroner's jury held E. F. Stone.
Barnesville farmer, on a second degree
murder charge yesterday in the death
of his wife.
Mrs. Stone was found unconscious
on a highway soon after she alighted
from her husbands car, witnesses said.
She died the next day.
Witnesses, describing Stone as stag
gering drunk, quoted him as saying
after he was summoned to his wife {:

what you've got by it."
Stone was released under $500

leading purveyors OF tunes to which
the country dances.
The Fio-Rito music is suave and
smooth and up-to-the-minute, and his
arrangements are masterpieces for
making new hits sound their best, and
slightly overplayed hits sound new
again. The bands best numbers are
the group of songs written by Fio-Rito,
and the impression by the Fio-Rito
orchestra of a group Of name bands,
in which the clever Fio-Rito humor Is
used for keen satire of the manner in
which Guy Lombardo, Wayne King,
the Casa Iona Band, Hal Kemp and
Paul Whiteman would do "The Music
Goes Where" That Flo
Rito gang plays music, and plenty OF
it.
THE real hit Of the program Of
course is Candy" the lad whose
voice is either way up h'yar or way
down thar. He brought yesterdays
first matinee to dead standstill with
a couple of dizzy specialties, and, in
fact, scored with the customers by
merely walking on the stage.
The Fio-Rito musical revue also has
sweet harmony from the Three Debu-
tantes and some pleasant singing
from Stanley Hickman and "Muzzy'
Marcellino.
The screen half of the Earle's cur
rent program is an affair entitled "13

There he joined a fraternity, en-

From City College came Ford

But his training was such. his
personality was such, that he was

life was that of the average young

a night club.
Urge To Do More
Depression years brought hard
work. And in the struggle of life
there started something within
him, a craving for something bet
ter, something finer than the life
he was leading.
It was not that he was disap-
pointed with life. He enjoyed
life, he was happy. But there
was an urge to do something
more, he explained.
Perhaps it was due in part to
the example of his sister, who
became a Madame of the Sacred
Heart in Albany, N. Y.
Finally, conditions were such as
to permit him to take the step of

Shakespeare
AND FOLIOS
BY HELEN ESSARY

Knowing that the Folger Shakes,

it's celebration tomorrow of the
anniversary of the publication OF
the First F'olioS and the address
at the library that evening by DR..
A. S. W. Rosenbach on MY Ad-
ventures With the First Folios," I
rushed in nervous haste the other
evening to see Mr.. Frank j.
Hogan.
To be honest, I wanted to find
out exactly what a First Folio
is. Who could tell me better than
Mr.. Hogan, an internationally ia.
nous collector of ShakeSpeareana? '?
Mr.. and Mrs. Hogan and their
guest, Miss Harriet Bartlett, OF
New Haven, were reveling in the
Shakespeare treasures in the
library on the top floor of the
Hogan home at Sheridan Circle,
where I discovered them.
Miss Bartlett, who is now doing
special work at the Folger LII
brary, knows almost as much about
