That is, not until "We Went to College," a big laugh show, came from the fertile com' edy minds of George Oppenheimer and Flnley Peter Dunne, jr. Cast: Charles Butterwortn, Abel, Herbert and Catlett were all col lege boys one day, and the cross section of typical campus life, the heaviest drinker, the personality boy, the serious youth, and the lad-grown-to-man who had a yen to "Poor Little Rich Girl" with Shirley Temple at the Stuart and the classic "Fury" at the Lincoln starring Spencer Tracy and Sylvia Sidney are the two top bills of the week.

Shirley fooled a great many of the smart guys, who gave her only about ten pictures to eclipse.

In fact, she has not only outlived this prediction, but has gone on with strength enough to completely shadow her rivals such as Jane Withers, Sybil Jason, Juanlta Qulgley, Darla Hood and others. However, even tho she's the best of the kid stars, she can't enter-tain by herself. CAST: Besides Shirley, heiress to a big soap fortune, the cast includes Jack Haley and Alice Faye, a-couple of vaudeville hoofers who have an act that somehow doesn't get booked. Then there's the second romance team, Michael Whal-en, Shirley's father, and Gloria Stuart, publicity woman for a ri- IF Don Redman' Orchestra Capitol Beach, July 23 Kent, and Henry Armetta.

"Counterfeit" was well received and besides having an interesting supporting story, delves into the true methods used to palm off ther "queer" on the gullible public. CAST: Chester Morris is a planted T-man in a gang of counterfeiting crooks to catch, them red handed with phoney greenbacks. Margot Grahame is the sweetheart of Lloyd Nolan, ace of the counterfeiters.

She has a sister played by Marian Marsh. Gene Morgan and Pierre Watkins, both of whom have made personal appearances here, are in small parts. STORY: Shrewd, college educated Nolan is head of a racket ring which floods the country with bad currency. He has kidnaped an agent the U. S.

treasury department and an attempt is made by the government to clear up the gang. Morris by a clever ruse gets into the organization and starts to cut it up. Big thrill is the scene wherein the gang is rounded up at the cost of several lives. val soap company. Henry Armetta is the neighborhood organ grinder with a kid at home for every piece his handorgan will STORY: Hemmed In by nurses and guardians so she can't move without almost breathing them, Shirley is a kid who finds life very, boresorae.

En route to a boarding school, Shirley gets lost In the railroad station shuffle and turns up following the organ grinder. She enters his home an unknown kid and Is adopted by the vaude hoofers who live upstairs and have seen her dance.

It's Frit Lang's first American picture, and he's been on the Met-ro-Goldwyn-Mayer payroll for more than a year and a half waiting for one to come along that he felt he could make a debut with. Lang is a Viennese director of note, coming from the same sector of Europe that produced Metro's sterling little trouper, Lulse Rain-er. The original story of "Fury" was the brainchild of Normen Krasne, as fine a script writer as the coast holds tenaciously under contract. A considerable chunk of its local colar was suggested by the famous San Jose lynching which shook Southern California several years ago.

Indicting the now famous Judge Lynch, who suggested the summary method of treating with criminals In Virginia years ago, "Fury" is one of the season's most gripping stories. Not a punch was pulled; not a nerve tingling, exciting moment deleted, "Fury" Is truly a sock picture. CAST: Romance is centered around Sylvia Sidney, a poor working girl with a heart full of love, and Spencer Tracy, a struggling, penny banking lad who hopes someday to marry her. Walter Abel, who hasn't hit since be went to the coast to make "Three Musketeers," does a ripping job of being a nerve Tacked district attorney. Bruce Cabot is the village bully and Edward Ellis, the sheriff.

STORY: In order to get married they must have money, so when Sylvia gets a more lucrative offer of a Job in a faraway place, she goes there and Tracy builds up his filling station business. The money starts rolling for him and on the day he prepares to go to Sylvia and marry her, he's nabbed by police who thinks he's a kidnaper. Imprisoned, immediate sentiment for a lynching is being built up against him. Newsreel men rush to the scene to film the actual incident, the Jail is set and the 30 minute thrill is on. Your money will be considered well spent here.
