PLAZA THEATRE
“WEE WILLIE WINKIE” Acclaimed as Shirley Temple’s best picture to date, “Wee Willie Winkie,” the current attraction at the Plaza Theatre, is adapted from the famous Rudyard Kipling tale. The photography and production have obviously been very carefully attended to, and the military pageantry and stirring martial conflict have been expertly handled. With a supporting cast which includes Victor McLaglen, as tough and likeable as ever, C. Aubrey Smith, June Lang, Cesar Romero, and Michael Whalen, and with plenty of human interest ,vigorous action, comedy, and suspense, the film cannot fail to meet with universal approval. The story is that of a little girl and her mother to live at a British outpost in India and find themselves in a land of fast action and heroism. The little girl is at a loss to explain the cause of the warfare between the natives and the British troops, and in her effors to smooth matters out and be friendly with both sides is nearly responsible for a massacre.
