Sparkling with new songs, from. the facile pens of Mack Gordon and Harry Revel, with grand comedy furnished mainly by Joe Ned Penner, Jack 'Oakie and Sparks, and with something like 150 beautiful girls for background, Paramount's latest musical, "Col- legiate," opened yesterday at the Star. Theatre.

"Collegiate" is the Arst, picture to give Frances Langford an im- portant role though she has had singing parts in a couple of other films. She hot only sings in her own lovely way, but she acts in this picture. Her principal num- ber. "Will I Ever Know?", should become an immediate favourite.
Jack Oakie is cast as the ne'er- do-well nephew of a rich old lady who bequeaths him a girls' semi- nary at the outset of the story, with the proviso that he must stay away from the brimming flagon for a year.
