'Shoplifter'Film
Comes To Yiccar
“T Was A Shoplifter." which is
showing tomorrow at the Viccor
Theatre, is the latest of a hard
hitting group of Universal- In
ternational semi - documentary
productions exposing the rackets
Actually filmed in the envir
ons called for in the script, in
cluding an exciting chase be
tween a police airplane and a
across the Mexican border, the
film was made under the techni
cal supervision of a la>s Angles j
policewomen attached to the j
shoplifting detail
Skillful and finely etched per
formances throughout are topped
by Scott Brady, who plays a
young detective operating with
a gang of professional shoplifters
in order to nab the key man. In
a story which calls for him to
make a pretended play for An
drea King, the trainer of poten
tial shoplifters, while actually
falling in love with Mona Free
man, the gangs victim, Brady
manages to keep his performance
clear cut. registering as a lead
ing man of great versatility.
Miss King is always at her
best when portraying a vicious
but appealing woman. Her abil
ity to make believable a female
who is in command of an all
male mob is extraordinary.
Miss Freeman, in the most
sympathetic role of the film,
gives great credence to her por
trayal of a frustrated klepto
maniac
Action highlights this story of
a well-bred young female klep
tomaniac who is forced into pro
fessional shoplifting The young
detective who is trying to corner
tlic mob lets her operate in the
accustomed manner even though
she is in great danger. When he,
posing as a shoplifter, is finally
discovered a chase ensues with
the young ladv being held by the
gang.
Charles Lamont is responsible
for the dynamic direction of the
film which was produced by
Leonard Goldstein

Gregg I.berry, former governor who paroled more IVritrorn

radio talk for VS illis Smilli said ilia! Smith wa$ a |»oor hoy. the son
ol a widowed mother, that he knew him in college.
V short biographical skeleli. a|»|»arenlly written by Mr. Smith
himself and before he derided lo run or was invited bv the corpora
lion* lo run for the l . S. Senate, tells that Mr. Smith was born in
Yirs'iuiu on December l<). 1887. Although be was a poor boy. the

Mi/.aheth t.it>, l‘ossihl\ tin* public schools were not flood enough
for the future corporation lawyer. At Trinity ( olli*|te. now Duke

tin* blabbering radio eouinu*utalor. he diil not suv anything about
Smith hii\iii{i to work his wav through college. The biographical
sketch, appearing in the Murtindale-lluhhle laiw Directory, says
Vt i 11 is Smith belonged to three fraternities. We do not know what
the initiation fees were at old Trinity, but others say that the cost
was SI00, plus dues running from a few to $30 a month. Now, it
is all right to joiu fraternities, but they were, for the most part, clos

I he radio commentator ami Mr. Glierry are not playing fair
