HUCKLEBERRY FINN WILL COME TO LIFE Mark Twain’s Favorite Child Character Will Blossom Forth on the Indiana Screen Friday. SUCH was the success of Paramount’s two juvenile comedy-dramas, “Tom Sawyer” and “Skippy,” that the company has brought the bright characters of “Tom Sawyer” together again, in a second story from Mark Twain, “Huckleberry Finn,” which will open for a week's showing at the Indiana, starting Friday. “Huckleberry Finn” brings Jackie Coogan back to the screen in the role of Tom Sawyer. Junior Durkin continues in his role of Huck. Mitzi Green coos as Becky Thatcher. And imputent little Jackie Searl makes more mischief as Sid, Tom’s annoying little brother. The adult cast which won such favor in “Tom Sawyer” is augmented

by two popular character actors, Eugene Pallette and Oscar Apfel, for “Huckleberry Finn.” These two funsters are seen as a pair of desperadoes from whom Huck and Tom rescue two innocent young girls. Clara Blandick is again seen as

2.231 STUDENTS ARE ENROLLED State Well Represented at Terre Haute School. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Aug. 19. Indiana State Teachers’ college for the first summer term of five weeks ended July 18. enrolled 2,231 students for the various courses offered by the school and of this number 2,166 were residents of Indiana. Many of these were graduates of the high schools of the state who are preparing themselves for teaching, but far more of them were teachers who returned to school during the summer months the better to equip themselves for their work in the school systems where they are engaged. Os the sixty-five nonresidents of the state, forty-eight students were from Illinois, particularly the part of the state just across the state line from such Illinois towns and cities as Paris, Marshall, Martinsville, Casey, Mt. Carmel and Robinson. Eigh other states were represented with seven students from Kentucky, two from Ohio, one from Pennsylvania, one from Missouri, one from Nebraska, two from Oklahoma, one from Tennessee and one from Arizona. One student also was enrolled from Panama. The fact that the school serves the entire state is prove . when it is considered that eighty-nine counties were represented within the ranks of the student body and only nine of the eighty-nine were represented by fewer than three students.

The Fall Creek outfit enjoyed an undefeated year. In the photo: Front Row (left to right)— Horace Conover, James Prather, Mary Adams, mascot, and Ralph Smith. Back Row —Thomas Hannon, instructor; Thomas Clements, Floyd Smith, captain, and Hobart McGinnis.

Tom’s worried Aunt Polly, and Jane Darwell re-enacts the role of the good-hearted Widow Douglas. The same attention to production detail which made "Tom Sawyer” an interesting trip into the past century, is a feature of "Huckleberry Finn.” A complete village of the 1850’s was built and populated. Costumes, customs and speech idioms were faithfully copied. And the story progresses with the whole village going busily about the everyday tasks and pleasures which made up the life of the great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers of the present generation. More than 200 children were assigned bit and character parts in this production, under the direction of Norman Taurog, who achieved such success with “Skippy.” He is known as Hollywood’s “kid mentor.” “No More Hooey,” a Vitaphone act; “Bimbo's Express,’’ a cartoon; “African Adventure,” No. 10, and a news reel, will close the program. # # " Indianapolis theaters today offer: “Sporting Blood” at the Palace, “The Smiling Lieutenant” at the Indiana, “Traveling Husbands” at the Circle, “On the Spot” at English's, “The Sky Raiders” at the Ohio, “Transatlantic” at the Lyric, “Bought” at the Apollo, and burlesque at the Mutual.
