SHIRLEY TEMPLE AT THE CIVIC THEATRE The heart-warming story of a dimpled tot and a sweet old man—both of whom had found “the right somebody to love”—is delightfully told in the new Shirley Temple picture, “Captain January,” coming to-night to the Civic Theatre. In a delightful mixture of song, dance and comedy, the new picture follows the adventures of Shirley and Guy Kibbee, the grizzled old lighthouse keeper, who had rescued her from the sea, and who was jealously determined to keep her for himself. Aided by another old Salt, Slim Summerville, Kibbee succeeds for a time in sheltering Shirley from the vixenish truant officer. Then Shirley is taken away and all is consternation, but not for long. Friends turns up to free her from Miss Haden’s grip, and the little lady and the old sailor of the lighthouse the happily rejoined. Buddy Ebsen, of Follies fame, is Shirley's dancing partner in the new picture and is also romantically teamed with lovely June Lang. David Butler directed the picture.
