KING'S THEATRE.

“THAT CERTAIN AGE.” From the surprising “Three Smart Girls” through the beautiful and stirring “100 Alen and a Girl,” and the touching “Alad About Alusic right to the current “That Certain Age,” Deanna Durbin’s pictures have been a delight and a revelation. “That Certain Age,” which screens at the King’s Theatre to-night at 8 p.m. and finally on Alonday at 2 and 8 p.m., is as different from the previous trio as each of them was from the other. As Deanna grows older, her stories are carefully tailored to her age. Starring Deanna, with Alelvvn 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 young girl, nearing sixteen, who meets a war correspondent- and fancies herself violently in love with him. Temporarily infatuated with him. she forgets her hunger “bov-iriend" and her childish playmates until it is brought home to her that she is still a child, and that romantic love has no place m her life. Packed with clever comedy. brilliant dialogue, the sparkle of’ vouth and the indescribable beaut v of Deanna’s voice “That Certain Age” can be bailed as the finest of the four pictures this great little star lias made for Universal. Deanna sings five numbers in "I hat Certain Age.” Three of these are by the popular song-writing team of McHugh and Adamson. These are «\ly Own,” ‘Be a Oood Scout and ■‘You’re as Pretty as a Picture.” Her two classical selections are ‘/Les Filles do Cadiz.” by 1-eo Pel-lies, and “Romeo and Juliet Waltz. from the opera.
