OPERA HOUSE
Film fans everywhere are cheering Shirley Temple's return to the screen —as a romantic young lady of fourteen! Shirley’s new picture is the Edward Small production, “Miss Annie Rooney,” wnich screens at the Opera House at three sessions to-day. Shirley plays the part of a modern miss—a pert young lady, who is a marvel at doing the jitterbug, who has handsome boy friends and who wears a gorgeous evening gown. She is seen as the daughter of Bill Gargan and the granddaughter of Guy Kinbee. Her two boy-friends are 16-year-old Dickie Moore, who has been in pictures since he was 11 months old, and Roland Du Free, the talented young dancer, who gets his first dramatic role opposite Shirley. Briefly, the story of "Miss Annie Rooney" concerns the romantic affairs of Shirley after she meets Dickie Moore, who portrays the scion of a wealthy family. Their romance has its usual ups-and-downs. but it reaches a serious crisis when Shirley's father, an impecunious dreamer, crashes a swank party to demonstrate his rubber-making process.
