Jane Withers Pleases Regent Patrons
“Chicken Waggon Family” shows Jane Withers her usual cheerful self, getting into scrapes and out of them with the utmost abandon. Jane and her family are engaged in the unusual occupation of travelling by mule caravan and “swapping” merchandise for chickens.
It is the life in which mad-cap Jane excels and one which would have been profitable but for the gambling craze of her father, Leo Carrillo. There fun a-plenty when the mule waggon reaches New York where Jane’s mother and sister are anxious to live the city life. “Hotel for Women,” portraying all the glamour of . models in New York, is held together by the story of a
country girl who learns that city life can change a man—and a girl,-.too. “Hotel for Women” is something of a character study, for those who want to see it that way. The caste is headed by Lynn Bari and John Halliday. Of particular interest is the newsreel showing the funeral at Montevideo 'of the Graf Spee personnel killed in action and the doom of the great vessel sent to a dishonourable destruction by the orders of Adolf Hitler.
