concludes a short season of films starring the ever-popular singing star Deanna Durbin
Today with Franchot Tone
Scientist Oliver Dana has three daughters, one an ' actress ', one a flirt and the third a nice girl. The trouble with being a ' nice girl ', Jane decides, is that it's no fun. So she sets out to be as flirtatious as her younger sister - with complicated and comic results. This is one of the freshest and most lighthearted of all Deanna Durbin 's films - boasting a fine cast and a rousing finale as she sings ' I pledge my heart to America'.
Screenplay by RICHARD CONNELL and GLADYS LEHMAN
Based on the story by PHYLLIS DUGANNE Produced by JOE PASTERNAK

The 150 Million Ton Shrimp Narrated by JULIAN PETTIFER
Krill is a two-inch, shrimp-like animal that occurs in huge numbers in Antarctic seas. Its vital food for fish, seals, penguins, albatrosses and whales.
Since the decline of the great whales a surplus of some 150 million tons of krill has become available. Man is now about to harvest krill, which has been hailed as the ' wonder food' of the future. But how will this affect the other creatures that depend on it tor their survival? And just how will man exploit this last great living resource of the sea?
