Directed by Wal- ter Lang. Cast: Shirley Temple, Richard Greene, Anita Louise, Tan Hunter, Cesar Romero, Arthur Treacher, Mary Nash, Sybil Jason, Miles Mander, Marcia Mae Jones, Beryl Mercer. HOLLYWOOD, Cal.,, March 6.—The box-office queen of Holly- wood increases the splendor of her reign by becoming “The Little Princess” of the old favorite book. If Shirley keeps on making films like it, she’ll have no trouble continuing her reign despite the encroachment of “old age’—she may even last as long as did Queen Victoria, who figures nicely in the current sentimental tale’ Painstakingly produced with Boss Zanuck's best lavish hand, in Technicolor besides, the story of rich little Sara Crewe whose daddy 1¢Hunter) went to fight the Boers and left her at a snobbish boarding school is as richly bedecked as an old-fashioned Valen- tine. Miss Minchin, the school's money-worshipping mistress, becomes almost a legitimate ogre in the capable performance of Mary Nash, who carries off superbly the film's most difficult assignment. . Arthur Treacher as Miss Minchin's likeable brother, Greene and Miss Louise as the romantics, and Romero as the kindly Ram Dass who waves a wand over the impoverished “princess's” bleak attic, all fit neatly into the pleasant pattern. But the surprise of the piece (Shirley herself being no surprise any longer) is the little girl who plays the Cockney scullery maid Becky. Once launched vainly as a Temple competitor, Sybil Jason here stands out in a solid, heart-tugging characterization that ought to do great things for her future. Even if you don't like sacharrin in your celluloid, you ought to like “The Litle Princes The sweetness is dealt out with enough restraint and saving humor to make it all palatable. Even the dreamn sequence (and I've never liked Shirley’s dream sequences before) is a ¢lick for heauty and natural interpolation.

Directed by Jack Conway. Cast: son Eddy, Virginia Bruce, Victor McLag- len, Lionél Barrymore, Edward Arnold, Guy Kibbee, Charles But- terworth, H. B. Warner, Raymond Walburn. + Here it is—first of the anticipated cygle of films sprinkled with pattiotism and Americanism. It's'a westcrn with vocalizing Eddy as the hero who saves the little town from spoilation by the ram- paging Iron Horse which comes.through in the name of progress and bucks up morg dirly work-than that cross-roads ever saw before. With Sq;l actipn and Lxmtemenz supplied by a star-studded cast, “Let Freedom Ring” is one of those sure-fire pieces. The patriotic toue flavors the whole proceedings, climaxes with Eddy's thrilling version of “Ameri “You Can't Cheat an Honest Man.” Screenplay by George Marion, Jr., Richard Mack, Everett Freeman, from story by Charles Bogle. Directed by George Marshall. Cast: W. C. Fields, Edgar Bergen, Charlie McCarthy, Mortimer Snerd, Constance Moore, John Arledge, James Bush, Thurston Hall, Mary Forbes, Edward Brophy. A circus background provides a field day for the “ieud” be- tween Bergen's McCarthy and the muttering, mumbling Fields— with & slight story thread lost in the scramble. It's a lot of fun, mostly fast, with typical McCarthy-Fields humor and gags flowing freely. But guess who delivers the surprise punch? None other than Mortimer Snerd, McCarthy’s country bumpkin rival in block- headegness.. This young man might be a starring possibility after all. — i z IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIl .
