"That Certain Age."
The advent of any Deanna Durbin picture is a milestone in the history of the screen. From the surprising "Three Smart Girls," through the beautiful and stirring "100 Men and a Girl," and the touching "Mad About Music" right to the current film, "That Certain Age," which opens tomorrow at the Paramount Theatre, her pictures have been a delight and a revelation. "That Certain Age" is as different from the previous trio as each of them were from each other. As Deanna grows older, her stories are carefully tailored Ito her age. This picture is lighter in theme than the others, but no less powerful in entertainment value. Starring Deanna, with Melvyn Douglas, Irene Rich, Jackie Cooper, John Halliday, Juanita Quigley, Jackie Searl, Peggy Stewart, Nancy Carroll, and Charles Coleman, "That Certain Age" tells the story of a youong girl, nearing sixteen, who meets a war correspondent and fancies herself violently in love with him. Temporarily infatuated with him, she forgets her younger "boy-friend" and her childish playmates until it is brought home to her that she is still a child, and that romantic love has no place in her life. Packed with clever comedy, brilliant dialogue, the sparkle of youth, and the indescribable beauty of Deanna's voice, "That Certain Age" can be hailed as the finest of the four pictures this great little star has made for Universal. Supporting this attractive plan is another production quite as big and noteworthy in its own way. This being Walt Disney's "Academy Award Revue," a full-length feature in glorious technicolour, with all the favouriate Disney characters, including Three Little Pigs, Donald Duck. Mickey Mouse. Pluto, Grasshoppers and the Ants, ans all those quaint delightful people which have thrilled thousands of theatre-goers all over the world. At the matinee a "Good Fairy" will be, in attendance who will distribute gifts to every child from a huge Christmas tree which is being specially prepared for the management of the Paramount Theatre.
