Janie (by Josephine Bentham & Herschel Williams; produced by Brock Pemberton) tells of a new Junior Miss up to new junior mischief. It tells it in terms of the present, when small towns lie chockablock with army camps, and harum-scarum, boy-crazy young things, talking weird slang in whiny voices, give high-school seniors the go-by and dashing privates the come-on.

A period piece as heavy as a Victorian sideboard, the picture is lit up, as by an occasional...
Main confessions in Life's a Circus concern Lady Eleanor's makeshift life. Tame boarding school was relieved somewhat by frequent transfers, midnight escapes, one harum-scarum period in the family of a Belgian baron, when she turned a pack of Irish wolfhounds loose in the crowded ball room of the British Embassy...
