Heading the cast "Captain Blood" are two young play- ers, who are expected to achieve early stardom by virtue of their work in this production.

The havoc wreaked in the lives of three innocent adulls by the whisper- ing campaign begun by a lying, spite- ful child provides the theme Samuel Goldwyn's powerful drama, "These. Three," which brings Miriam Hopkins, Merle Oberon and Joel McCren to the Star Theatre. From the pen of Lillian Hellman, the famous Broadway playwright, the story of "These Three" is so

sicilfully developed and so brilliantly acted not ulone by the stars, but by the sup- porting cast as well, that the result is one of the most gripping and magnificent pieces of entertainment in the memory of this reviewer. Alm Introduces a truly great child actress in Bonita Granville, who plays the wicked Mary Tilford with în une
