There is a delightful love story which will make an immediate appeal and the scenery and acting all through is of a high standard. Tyrone Power is seen at his best in a role in which ho brings out the strong points of the story. It is altogether a picture that will make an immediate appeal. In the associate feature. Jane Withers takes her special brand of freshness to “High School” and meets some unusual experiences as a freshman in the comedy of that name. Real authentic background is a highlight of the picture, for it was filmed with the cooperation of San Antonio's famous Thomas Jefferson High School. Jane even becomes a member of the renowned Girls’ Lasso Club at the school. Jane is quite a “young lady these days and all set to step out on dates in'gay party dresses and. of course, being Jane, she's always ready for a classroom prank or a campus shindig. Blowing into high school straight, from a Texas ranch, Jane, accompanied bv a ranch hand in the person of Cliff ’ "Ukelele Ike" Edwards, gets into trouble right at the start by Stealing the reception planned for a s-ery important visiting official. “Slats," the'school football hero, goes for Jane in a big way. But the rest of the school gangs’up on her and decides to teach her how to “take it.” Jane gets into all sorts of trouble at first, but finally wins the school’s okay by saving the day for “Slats" when he gets into trouble with a gang of auto thieves. It is a splendid picture for these strenuous days.
