From the way he talks, you begin to suspect Mr. Wyler is an artist himself. And he is. He plays the violin well—not to mention the neat tunes on the mouth organ. Even the walter looked surprised.

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.

"Girls' School" is Magnolia Hall, the smuglyanobbish seminary in the southland. The film opens to- day at the King's Theatre

The cast is large and excellent, with diversified roles, so even more or less minor parts have outstand- ing distinction,

Anne Shirley and Nan Grey, ix. the principal roles, are perfectly east as two seviors of the ex- clusive seminary. Arine is the poor girl working her way through school: Nan, the pampered only daughter of wealthy parents.

For some time now, the alluring star has been appearing in roles of dramatic depth in which her ärresting beauty was subordinated to character portrayal.

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,
