Avid cinema fans who read the
Hollywood possip columns and
wait with interest for the more
publicized pictures will find their
desires gratified this week-end,
for today the local theatres open
with several of the season's most
highly publicized films.
Set against the background of
England's Cornwall coast, "Jama
ica Inn," the long awaited British
production starring Charles
Laughton, offers thrills and ro
mance to the theatre goer. The
film, which opens at the Stuart
today, tells the story of the law
less days nt the turn of the last
century when pirates on both land
and sea attacked ships for the
eakc of plunder.
The picture stars Maureen
O'Hara and Robert Newton, a
couple determined to bring the
wreckers to justice. They appeal
to a local squire, Charles Laugh
ton, for assistance. It is not until
they narrowly escape death at the
hands of the wreckers that they
discover that Laughton is the sec
ret leader of the band.
Fans who have complained that
the dead end kills have been
spoiled by Hollywood and that they
have lost their spontencity since
their first picture, will admit that
the kids are just as good as ever
after they see the sextet in their
newest picture, "Angels Wash
Their Faces," now showing at the
Varsity. The film stars Ann Sheri
dan and Ronald Regan.
Hollywood's best efforts have
been poured into the production
of "Babes In Arms," now showing
at the Nebraska. As a result the
piece is one of the best examples
of musical review to come out of
Hollywood for many months.
Starring Mickey Rooney and Judy
Garland, the film tells the story
of the era when vaudeville passed
out of populaiity and left thou
sands of actors without jobs.
Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland,
children of unemployed vaudeville
artists take matters in their own
hands and stage a show of their
own.
Rodgers and Hart wrote the
musical score for the film which
includes such numbers as "My
1 si-. -I
