COLLEGE COMEDY
ENDING TONIGHT
AT LOCAL SHOW
Capitol Theatre Featuring
freshman Year, Spark
ling Campus Drama

A new film series which will, be-
yond doubt, enjoy great popularity.
made its local debut last night with
the opening of Freshman Year" at
the Capitol.
The first of three more pictures
of the same general type to be re-
leased by Universal during the cur
rent season, it is a delightfully."- slim
ulating and realistic comedy drama
of college life, with an abundance of
sparkle, wit, pathos and music.
1t catches the gay, zestful spirit of
modern college youth, with a skillful
avoidance of the raucous and slap
stick
The story, as the title indicates,
centers around a group of students
in their freshman year 1t is given
motivation by three classmates who
enter upon an ill-advised venture of
writing funk insurance When prac-
tically a whole class flunks and they
are confronted with claims far be-
yond their means, they promote a
show to raise money.
The show, naturally, calls for
songs and dances. Three new songs
and an equal number of dances are
presented most entertainingly.
The film is both well cast and we'll
played Dixie Dunbar, as a chorus
girl with an urge for higher edu-
cation, is a stand-out Both in the
comedy situation and in the special
ty dance numbers which Dixie does
with nimble-footed Tommy Wonder,
the picture is perfect vehicle for
her talents.
Ernest Truck, as Professor Pea
body, ably gives one of those char
cter-comedy portrayals in which he
is so proficient. Frank Meltons slow
humor provides clever contrast for
Dixie's quick, staccaato wit. william
Lundigan and Constance Moore, as
the romantic leads, are at their best.
Stanley Huges,, a newcomer, gives a
performance that promises a bright
future.
