PLAZA THEATRE

“MISS FIX-IT.” Still a mischievous child, but with an even more attractive personality and finer acting ability, Jane Withers returns to the screen in "Miss Fix-it,” which is to screen to-day at the Plaza Theatre. Gloria Stuart and Henry Wilcoxon are others in a strong cast. A numbr of films have been produced in recent years wherein a great film star at Hollywood endeavours to stage a return to popularity after he has been labelled a "fallen star,” but a rather different note is struck in this picture, where a picture director (Henry Wilcoxon), not a star, endeavours to reestablish himself. Jane Withers is cast as this director’s niece, and she decides (when she is at boarding school) that she will pack her bags and visit this great man. Little does she realise that he has lost his job, and when she arrives at his palatial home in Hollywood she finds an auction sale in progress. Gloria Stuart, formerly the director's secretary, and very much in love with the man, finds out who the girl is and takes her under her wing. Between them they decide to get the director back to his former position, and this they do, but only after considerable difficulty, heartbreaks, and laughter. Helen Wetsley is strongly cast.
