At the Flicks By Bill Stratton
"Stage Fright" Jayhawker Theater
A well-rounded cast and the adept directing of Alfred Hitchcock make "Stage Fright" a hard to coat murder mystery. Beginning with the necessary ingredient, a murder, the movie veers from the beaten track and carries you through a series of events that not even a chief of detectives could anticipate.
Sutry and barely audible, Martine Dietrich plays a self-centered musical comedy star whose husband is murdered. She gets her lover, Richard Todd, to clean up any items that might connect her with the killing. In doing so, Todd is accused of the murder. He runs away and enlists the aid of a friend, one Wyman, who is convinced of its innocence. Determined to clear Jane investigates on her own falls in love with a Scotland Yard detective, Michael Wilding. When Todd, Wyman, and Wilding get together under assumed names, things become both humorous and suspenseful.
"Roughshod"
Patee Theater
An outdoor romance of a very common type is "Boughshod" RKO Radio's offering, which is filmed in the Sonora Pass region of California's High Sierras.
The story deals with the efforts of a hard-working local rancher and a younger brother to drive a valuable horse herd across the pass and down to his California ranch. At the same time he is handicapped by the responsibility of conveying some dance hall girls to Sonora, while harrassed by a trio of escaped convicts who have a "score to settle" with him.
surely. Robert Sterling is the determined rancher, while cherubic Claude Jarman, Jr., as his brother, appears intermittently with "Annie Rooney" advice. John Ireland once again protrudes his jaw to play a vindicative convict.
"Dakota Lil"
Granada Theater
Displayed in pasty Cinecolor, "Dakota Li" is another Western that should attract the "12-year-old and under" group. A children's ticket is worth the price while an adult fee would be charity on the part of the patron.
The directors throw a cowboy hat over George Montgomery's Hollywood haircut to call him an army scout. He is given the task of capturing Rod Cameron and his notorious "Pole in the Wall" gang. Marie Windsor is a clever fugitive who forges names on unsigned, newly printed bills stolen by the gang. Montgomery promises the girl easy money to obtain information on the desperadoes. Naturally, he becomes fond of her. However, things get rough. Fists begin swinging and gun start blazing. Before the movie is over, there's a body for each patron on the front row.

Actress Puts Children First, To Milliners' Great Dismay
New York—(U.P.)—Millinery workers, shocked at the news that Joan Crawford has bared her head to keep her children from going barefoot, have rushed to her rescue.
She can keep right on buying the chic chapeaux for which she's famed, they said, and they'll pick up all the hat checks.
The movie glamor queen confessed the other day she'd sworn off hats because, with four youngsters to feed and clothe, she can't afford them.
"What—Miss Crawford, beautiful,
beautiful Miss Crawford, without a hat!"
cried Nathaniel Spector.
"Never. We can't let it happen."
The "we" are members of the Milliner Workers union (A.F.L.), of which Spector is manager. Crawford is their favorite star.
"Miss Crawford has been a glamorous woman for years, and for years she has set the hat styles for the women of America," Spector said with enthusiasm.
"But no woman," he added firmly, "can look her best without a hat— not even Miss Crawford."
"Anyone can afford hats -- the most fashionable, the most up-to-date hats," Spector said. "They
don't have to be expensive. Maybe Miss Crawford did spend as much as $250 for a mink-trimmed fur hat—we're turning out stylish hats every day that sell for almost nothing—$5, even less."
As for Miss Crawford, she doesn't need to stint herself, he said, if she'll accept the millinery workers' offer.
"For a full year, without charge, we're willing to supply her with the most fashionable millinery to be found," he promised. "The hats will be the best that money can buy, and we'll provide them for every occasion. Nothing but the best."
That goes for her youngsters, too,
he said, from 10-year-old Tina right
down to her two 3-year-old
moppeps. And even the 5-year-old
boy she's planning to adopt next
month.
Medical Students To Present Reports

Papers will also be presented by Dr. C. S. Lee, fellow in oncology, Dr. Franklin C. Behrle and Dr. William N. Harsha, resident physicians.
Mother-In-Law Still Affects Marriage
Shreveport, La.—(U.P.)—Robert W. Garner, 31, will still have to seek his mother-in-law's permission to see his 12-year-old bride.
District Judge Robert F. O'Neal dismissed for lack of evidence a suit in which Garner claimed that Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Mosher had kept their daughter, Patsy Ann, away from him since their April 12 marriage.
O'Neal also said that evidence showed the marriage license was issued illegally and the ceremony illegally performed by a justice of peace.
