"Dramatic School" At The Majestic Tomorrow
The ambitions, struggles, disap- polntinents and joys of a group of young people who form a caste by themselves, whose thoughts and į behaviour differ widely from other strata in the social structure, are dramatically bared in "Dramatic School," which opens at the Majes- tie Theatre tomDITOW.
The new picture brings to the screen two brillant acting portra yals, one offered by Luise Rainer as the poor student who works in a factory at night in order to earn her tuition, and the other by Pau lette Goddard, who as a fashion- able student of the school has a role offering an intense dramatic! contrast to that of Miss Rainer'é.
Others in a finely-balanced cast include, Alan Marshal, Lana Turn- er, Genevieve Tobin, and Gale Sondergaard
