Shirley Temple At Palace
Today In Latest Picture
flays Local Theatre Today and To
morrow in "Stowaway.”
Rated as One of Her
Best Pictures.
Romantic as the radiant Chinese
moon, and as glamorous with its
surrounding company of great stars,
teeming with danger, excitement,
thrills, war-lord bandits, and Shirley
Temple as a little waif who talks
and sings Chinese, Twentieth Cen
tury *Fox’s new film, “Stowaway,”
comes today to the Palace theatre.
Yes, Shirley’s in China now—and
you’d think you’d never seen her
before so different is the setting
... so surprising the story!
As Ching-Ching, the adopted
daughter of a missionary couple
killed in a rebel raid, Shirley is
picked up by Robert Younger, a
care-free young millionaire, who is
touring the world in a vain attempt
to get away from himself. Shirley,
accidentally stowing away in Young
er’s car on a cruise ship, is instru
mental in his meeting Alice Faye,
pretty fiancee of stuffy young Al
lan Lane.
While waiting for Allan to join
her at Hong Kong, Alice tours the
town with Young and his little pro
tegee, all of them having a glorious
lark, which culminates in Shirley’s
winning a prize in a Chinese ama
teur show, singing in the native
language.
Allan then appears to claim his
bride-to-be, but they part in a fierce
quarrel. Meanwhile Young is told
by Chinese authorities that he can
not adopt Shirley, being unmarried,
and must put her in a local orph
anage. Determined not to part from
her, he proposes to Alice that she
become his wife in name only, then
proceed to Reno for a divorce. This
she does, but Young, realizing he is
really in love with her, follows her
to Reno and, with Shirley’s artful
aid, wins her consent to stay mar
ried.
Shirley’s strong suppiorting cast
includes, in addition to Robert
Young and Alice Faye, Eugene Pal
lettte, Helen Westly, Arthur
Treacher, J. Edward Bromberg and
Astrid Allwyn.
William A. Seiter was chosen to
direct by Darryl F. Zanuck, Twen
tieth Century-Fox production chief,
with B. G. De Sylva, Earl Carroll
and Harold Wilson as associate pro
ducers. William Conselman, Arthur
Sheekman and Nat Perrin wrote
the screen play, based on a story
by Sam Engel. Mack Gordon and
Harry Revel wrote five new tune
hits, and Irving Caesar composed a
happy topical song.

SPECIAL NEW YEAR’S
EVE SHOW AT BOTH
PALACE AND DOLLY
One Showing Only at Each Theatre,
Thursday Night at
11:30.
The capture of a desperate crimi
nal on an airplane flying by night
in a terrific dust storm, is one of
many exciting happenings in Warn
er Bros. “Fugitive in the Sky,’
which comes to the Palace and
Dolly Madison theatres on New
Year’s Eve.
The criminal who, disguised as a
woman is fleeing from the law
with a G-Man at his heels, reveals
himself when a mysterious murder
is committed in an airplane on which
both he and the detective are pas
sengers. Knowing that his disguise
is bound to be discovered in the in
vestigation of the murder, he holds
up the detective, the other passen
gers and the pilots.
Handcuffing the G-Man and
stripping everyone of their weap
ons, he orders the pilots to change
their course, but the motors go
dead in a terrific storm and the
plane is grounded.
In the midst of the excitement
a triangular romance is going on,
with two men fgihting for the love
of a girl.
The girl is Jean Muir in the role
of a nervy airplane hostess. War
ren Hull, as a newspaperman who
is following the G-Man because he
thinks a big story is about bo break,
is one of the ardent lovers. Gordon
Oliver, chief airplane pilot is the
other.

FAMED TARZAN
AGAIN BATTLES
JUNGLE ODDS
"Tarsan Escapes” Depicts Further
Adventures of Wilder
ness King.
PALACE THEATRE, MONDAY
AND TUESDAY, JAN. 4-STH.
Tarzen, amazing character of the
fiction of Edgar Rice Burroughs,
comes once more to the screen, as
Johnny Weissmuller and Maureen
O’Sullivan are reunited in ‘Tarzan
Escapes,” Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's
labest jungle adventure romance to
be seen commencing Monday at the
Palace theatre.
The present story marks the clos
est approach of Tarzan to civiliza
tion. He is captured by a “bring
’em-back-hive” animal collector
who locks him in a cage and plans
to take him bp London to exhibit.
In a thrilling and dramatic climax
the son of the primeval wilds out
wits his civilized enemy, saves him
self, and also his animal friends.
Breath-taking and spine tingling
factors of the new picture include
giant vampire bats from whose at
tack Weissmuller rescues a safari;
the routing of an army of savages
by a herd of stampeding elephants;
native tortures; a plunge over a
cliff, and a perilous escape from
death in a crocodile-infested river.
As in the preceding Tarzan stories
Weissmuller swings his way through
the jungle via trees and vines and
in other ways exhibits his magnifi
cent athletic prowess.
Richard Thorpe directed the new
Tarzan picture, in which hundreds
of people appear in the native
scenes and in which several hun
dred wild animals of many types
were used.
The cast includes John Buckler
as the animal collector; Benita
Hume, who betrays Tarzan to the
trainer, and William Henry as the
cousin of Jane, seeking her in the
wilds.
Weissmuller, incidentally, had to
increase his Tarzan vocabulary. He
learned Swahili dialect to talk with
the natives in the new picture.
The role of the gangster is por
trayed by Howard Phillips. The
plot is enlivened toward the end
when it is discovered that there
is another weired criminal among
the passengers. The character is
brought to life by Nedda Harrigan.
Carlyle Moore, Jr., plays the part
of a co-pilot who is put to sleep
with a drug by the “killer,” while
John Little has the role of the G-
Man who is handcuffed by the mur
derer with his own nippers.
