TINY SEA-WAIF
SHIRLEY’S ROLE
FOR NEW FILM
Palace Theatre, April 20th and
21st; Dolly Madison April
22nd and 23rd.
The fascinating adventures of a
little waif and her two grizzled old,
sea-salt friends furnishes the story
basis for “Captain January,” tune
ful, colorful Shirley Temple picture
which comes to both theatres this
week.
Somewhere on the rockbound
coast of Maine the action of this
most delightful of Shirley’s pictures
is set. She is a nimble-toed little
lady of a lighthouse, adored and
jealously guarded by old Guy Kib
bee, tHe lighthouse keeper who had
fished her from the sea years ago.
Her other old salt friend, Slim
Summerville, constantly bickers
with Kibbee, but when authorities
theaten to take the little girl away,
the two old sailors present a united
'■front.
Despite their strategy and an at
tempted flight to sea in the night,
the inevitable happens, and vixenish
old Sara Haden, the truant officer,
takes possession of Shirley. But not
for good, however, because unex
pected friends turn up to bring
Shirley and Kibbee together again,
and the pictui'q to a happy close.
Shirley executes her toe-tickling
new dances in company with Buddy
Ebsen, who was a sensational Zieg
ftyd Follies dancer, while her old
songwriter Lew Pollack, composed
the music for her three new hit
tunes.
June Lang, Jane Darwell, as this
lady who has her heart set on Kib
bee, and Jerry Tucker are promi
nent in the supporting cast of
“Captain January.” Producd under
the supervision of B. G. DeSylva.
the picture was directed by David
Butler.

Special Show Saturday Morning

at 11:30.
”“Road Gang,” the First National
production scheduled as the feature
attraction at the Palace Theatre on
Saturday, is a revelation of the ter
rible conditions existing in a penal
institution run by crookqd officials
for the graft they get out of it.
It is said to carry all the dynamic
force of “I Am a Fugitive From a
Chain Gang” and the rugged pic
turesqueness of “Black Fury.” The
pictuhq is one of stark realism, set
in two locals; the first the prison
farm with its tortue rooms, where
human beings are subjects to me
dieval persecution with thfe whip
ping post and barrel hangings; the
second in the Blackfoot mines,
where recalcitrant convicts are sent,
to remain until they come out in
a pine box.
Donald Woods and Carlyle Moore,
i Jr., have the two principal convict
j roles. Entirely innocent of any
j crime, they are framed by a crook

I paper correspondent, threatens to

The romantic angle is furnished
by Kay Linaker in the leading femi
nine role. As the finance of Woods,
she carries on a battle for his free
dom, although shq nearly fails be
cause of a strike at the mines led
by Woods, in which the prisoners
blast their way out and are gassed
with bombs.
Joseph King appears in the role
of the big political boss who frames
ihe two boys with the aid of one
■>f his henchmen, a part played by
Il.nry O’Neil. Addison Richards has
the role of the cruel prison farm
warden while Charles Middleton, an
?ven more terrifying figure, is in
:harge of the mines where men are
so badly abused they either go in
sane or die.
The picture is filled with thrilling
action including a running gun bat
tle between police cars and one
commandeered by a fleeing convict,
l he brutal beating of prisoners, the
great mine strike, the| blasting of
the tunnel and the fight with ma
chine guns and gas bombs between
guards and men armed only with
picks and shovels.

exposes the conditions of graft and
-torture, Olin Howland a dissolute
prison doctor, William Davidson,

smile that you always wore through
suffering and pain. But God called
you home to the beautiful and glori
ous home to never know any pain
or sickness no more.
Mother was a kind nnd loving
mother and one never knew a
sweeter character than she was. To
know her was to love her and those
who knew her best loved her best.
So human, we cannot refrain from
sorrowing for our loved ones who 1
have gone on before us, but our
hearts are made to fegj glad when
we have the blessed thought that
this association does not end at the!
grave for the last glorious work of
our Lord Jesus Christ in his an
nointed ministrey of giving beauty
for ashes, will be when He comes
again to give to our beloved dead
in Him the beauty of a glorified
body for the ashes, of this corrupt
able one. Mother we believe Heaven
is made brighter because of your
presence there. The memory of the
beautiful smile that you bore to the
grave was the sweet smile that we
all loved so well.
