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.

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.
