Three houses
bring new
bills today
By Morton Margolin.
Three of the local theatres open
today with new cinema features,
two of which are billed among the
bigger productions of the year by
their respective studios. "The Real
Glory" with Gary Cooper, David
Niven, and Andrea Leeds opens at
the Varsity. Darryl F. Zanuck's

Claudette Colbert and Henry
Fonda opens at the Nebraska, and
"Television Spy" opens at the Lin

An English professor's tirade

minded me of some of the cinema
riirhpa I noted in a private show-

other night.
Remember the turning or calen

time? And the fadeout showing
the hero and heroine gazing at the

It seems ridiculous now that in
the early silent films- the villain,
even if he was a city slicker, had
to be earbed in cape and boots,
and rarrv a ridine: crop. He
wouldn't have been recognized for
what he was, otherwise.
To the same cinema era belongs
the "Do not darken my door

Critic acclaims
Roaring Twenties
best film in town
BY DONALD DEAN
Mark Hellincer. who probably
knows the Broadway beat better
than anyone on the White way
this semester, comes up with the
week's best movie "The Roaring
Twenties" at the Nebraska.
A saga of that hectic era when
a plunger was a man in the stock
market instead of a piece of bath
room equipment, the film is bio
graphical to the extent that Hel
linger s friends and foes of that
decade are portrayed rather
graphically if in a stereotyped
manner.
Tex Guinan whos been our
favorite legend ever since Pop
went east back in '25, finds her
counterpart in Gladys George, a
five star toughie who befriends
Jimmy Cagney, a returning hero
from World war I, who can't find
a Job and takes to hack driving
for bread and butter. Sister
George shows him a way to bake
meat and potatoes.
Cagney swiftly risen on th
crest of illegal liquor traffic after
prohibition makes rum running a
profitable venture. He teams with
Humphrey Bogart, a double cross
ing lad who pulls a trigger with
the same nonchalance as picking
his teeth.
Priscilla Lane, warbles sweetly
gives a nice portrayal of wid-f
eyed innocence. (As If she could
play anything else!)
Only thing missing in an other
wise full film is Walter Winchell.
tieiunger and Mr. w. were
thought to be such close buddies
that we, at leaM, looked forward

man snooping thruout the picture
