The Moviegoer

AT THE UNIVERSITY

Leading the parade currently at the University is Ferdinand, the bovine rugged individualist. Not far behind are young Peter Holden and Virginia Weidler, as the precocious off spring of besotted John Barrymore "'60." Trailing some-what in the rear is John Garfield, star of the feature, "They Made Me a Criminal."

Mr. Garfield is convincing as a "tough" prize-fighter, but the picture is melodramatic and uninspired. Fleeing to Arizona to escape conviction for a murder of which he is innocent, the fighter meets the Dead End Kids, May Robson, and a blonde, who manage to revive the clean American spirit in him. Mr. Garfield's acting and the Kids' wisecracking do not prevent the picture from being overlong and overdone.
