"DIMPLES."

Shirley Temple at State.

Singing and dancing her way once more into millions of hearts, Shirley Temple will head new Twentieth Cen-tury-Fox picture "Dimples" at the State Theatre on Friday. Hailed as Shirley's wonder show, and featuring swingy new song hits and brand-new dance steps, "Dimples" is heralded as the outstanding .hit. An exceptional cast, headed by the irrepressible and inimitable Frank Morgan, supports Shirley in the film, with Helen Westley, Robert Kent, Astrid Allwyn, Delma Byron, the Hall, Johnson Choir, and Stepin Fetchit prominently featured. Replete with laughter, romance, and drama, "Dimples" tells the story of a lovable little street minstrel (Shirley) and her incorrigible guardian. The film opens with Shirley leading a group of young sidewalk minstrels through songs and dances. As they conclude their performance . Morgan pushes through the crowd and starts off the "contributions." This is how he and Shirley eke out a precarious livelihood. Morgan has a penchant for other people's belongings and his nimble fingers fasten on anything of value with which they come in-contact. His peccadillos eventually lead him into trouble, but he goes sept free through Shirley's winsome smiles ■ and pleas. With Shirley mothering and caring for the irresponsible scamp, the film moves through its highly-entertaining story, climaxed with Shirley being cast in the starring role in a. presentation of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." With Morgan and Stepin Fetchit contributing hilarious laughter, Robert Kent, Astrid Allwyn, and Delma Byron youthful romance. Helen Westley and Berton Churchill providing stirring drama,-and Shirley better than ever her previous "bests," "Dimples" is the greatest in the succession of Shirley Temple pictures.
