Captain January (1936), 6-

A little girl named Star lives with a lighthouse keeper who rescued her when her parents drowned. A truant officer decides she should go to boarding school but she's rescued by relatives.
(77 min) Released 1936-04-17
Director: David Butler
Stars: Shirley Temple, Guy Kibbee, Slim Summerville, Buddy Ebsen
Jack Donohue ... dances staged by

Comedy | Musical | Family

Buddy Ebsen and ST do a couple of dances, which elevates this above 5. Otherwise this is a simple manipulative melodrama, the kind that makes me hate the employment of children. 

Fox, dir. Butler, 6-
