Three Shows
Are Billed
For Hoppers
By Guy M. Whipple, Jr.
J-Hoppers will have their choice
of three movies over the festive week-
end. One of the offerings appears,
from the manner in which the na-
tion's reviewers have treated it, to be
an outstanding production. This is
the Majestic's Saturday-through-

Saturday will see the last run of
Barbara Stanwyck and Warren Wil-

sisted on "making it right," and took
the time because it figured the public
would make it up to them in box of-
fice receipts. But whether it is a fi-
nancial success or not, the "Lives"
should be an artistic treat.
In the cast are Gary Cooper, Fran-
chot Tone, Richard Cromwell. Sir
Guy Standing, C. Aubrey Smith, the
old timer Monte Blue, and Kathleen
Burke.
The setting is the dangerous open
country of Northwest India, where,
in the midst of teeming rebellion
(against the British imperialism), a
small group of British officers com-
