When Worlds Collide (Technicolor) Paramount A SCIENCE-FICTION yarn which toys with the thought of what would happen if and when this world would collide with another planet. It would, to put it mildly, be one flaming mess. Therefore, scientist Larry Keating decides to build a super rocket ship that will take a selected few to a new planet, there to start a new world. Among those chosen are hot-shot pilot Richard Derr, Barbara Rush and Doctor Peter Hanson. Until the space ship is launched, a few seconds before the earth is no more, the tension and excitement are fever pitch.

The Well United Artists GRIPPING melodrama that shows how gossip, rumors and distortions accentuate fear, mistrust and bitter ha tred. A little Negro girl accidently falls into a well on her way to school. Hours later, when she doesn't return, her parents call Sheriff Richard Rober. On investigating, Rober is told that the child was last seen with Henry Morgan, the nephew of a wealthy contractor. Morgan denies he's kidnapped the child, but word leaks out. Soon the town is seething with unrest and hour by hour the possibilities of a full-fledged race riot grow. As emotions are about to burst wide open, the child is found and the same people bent on killing each other join together in an effort to rescue the little girl.

Michael Wilding, the gay blade member of the aristocratic family, lends his rakish assistance and know-how. He also inviegles Greer into pooling their resources and going into business: a form of high-class swindling. After being requested to leave every swank spot in Europe and Asia, they arrive in America, land of wealth. Marjorie Main and Tony Lamas. Their scheme to heist moneybags Marjorie's necklace gets underway but deviates when Greer goes slightly ga-ga over Lamas. A drawing-room comedy that insists on traveling through the rest of the house. Saturday's Hero Columbia HARD-HITTING story about a boy, John Derek, who goes to a swank college on a football '"scholarsnip." The son of a foreign-born mill hand, Derek wants to use football merely as a means toward getting the kind of education he could never afford. When football takes more of his time, as the school's backers scream for fame and glory for dear old Siwash, Derek becomes a scholastic failure. It's apparent that his ideals will have to go out the window if he intends to stay at the school. Then, Fate steps in with a series of body blows to convince him which is the right course to take. Donna Reed adds love interest and Sidney Blackmer a special touch of menace. Pool Of London Universal-International FILMED in London, this has plenty to hold your interest.
