"I'm Johnny," says this trio.
A friendly argument among
Johnny Green, Johnny the Call
Boy and Johnny (Jack) Johnstone
results in a stalemate, because
each is right. They're all "John
nies," heard on the "Johnny Pre
sents" program Friday nights.
Johnny Green, left, is orchestra
leader; Jack Johnstone, right, is
dramatic producer, while the other
John's familiar "call" is known
from coast to coast.

MOVIES...
Mr. Smith
finally comes
to Lincoln
Contest and theatre
remodeling steal spot
from coming pictures
By Morton Margolin.
Altho some of the biggest pic
tures of the season are now play
ing in Lincoln the biggest news of
the day on the Cinema front is
not the pictures but the contest be
ing run in connection with the pic
tures and the change to be made
in the local theater set up.
After the last performance Sun
day evening the Lincoln theater
will be closed for extensive re
modeling. After the job is finished
some of the bigger pictures will be
booked there. The contest, spon
sored by Barney Oldfield of the
Journal, in which he asks contes
tants to pick the ten biggest pic
tures of a list of 100, which he pub
lished, is an interesting one since
the Academy awards will be soon
out.
Opening at the Liberty today is
Frank Capra's much publicized,
long awaited "Mr. Smith Goes to
Washington." Previewed by con
gressemen and their families at a
special Washington showing, the
effects of the preview reverbrated
from coast to coast when irate con
gressmen began action to push
thru the anti-block booking bill at
the next session. The pitcure is ex
cellent and stars James Stewart
and Jean Arthur in the leads.
At the Nebraska, William Pow
ell and Myrna Loy are starring in
"Another Thin Man," the third of
the series which they made famous
a few years ago. The new film
measures up in every detail to the
old ones. It tells the Btory of a re
tired detective who gets tangled
up in the death of a millionaire.

Newest of the romantic-comedy
cycle is now playing at the Stuart.
The film, "Remember," stars Rob
ert Taylor and Greer Garson. It
has a surprise ending. The public
ity on the film predicts that no one
will be in his seat the last 20 min
utes of the picture. The film ends
by asking the audience tell no one
about the picture as that would
spoil it for those who saw it later.
Starting today the Varsity will
have "On Your Toes" starring
Zorina. The film is a musical com
edy which drew commendation
from the critics. The companion
zeaiure, "me ward case is a
mystery story which should keep
fans in suspense.
The Lincoln's final picture be
fore its closing is "Henry Goes to
Arizona," starring Frank Morgan
and Virginia Wiedler. The com
panion feature is "Mystery of the
White Room" with Bruce Cabot
and Helen Mack.
