AT THE KING'S
A film su different the BC- customed adjectives of praise must De foregone, Columbia's "Girls' School" touches upon the lovely illusions of adolescent youth, upon the naive comedy of girlish reactions to life and love, careers and boy friends. It is irre: pressible, gay, and heart-warming; It is youth-restoring and joyously !refreshing. It is as beautiful as Its magnoliascented background, as happily innocent as its attrac tive young players.

But in "Always Goodbye," 20th Century-Fox fim, which opens at the Majestic, in which she stars with Herbert Marshall, she reverts to the same type of role in which she first flashed across the Alm horizon as one of the loveliest of the screen glamour queens.
Although her role in "Always Goodbye," is primarily a glamor ous one, the screen play by Kathryn Boola and Edith Skouras is a remarkable combination of beauty and the forceful. dramatic appeal in which Barbara is so. much at home,
