Claudette Colbert is given an opportunity to display all her wares as an actress in this week's bill at the University. Appearing at the start as the saddened, wronged woman, her pitiful fate is written on her features with seemingly unreasonable lines.

Last week the bondholders committee sold Price Brothers to 55-year...
