THE BRAVE PICTURE
/
No Sad Songs For Me
i f
As fellow players in an industry of which we are
proud, and to which we devote our talents and our
efforts, we would like to make public our applause of
the brave and tender story of AO SAD SUNOS FOR ME
and Margaret Sullavan tor her amazing exposition of a
woman’s inner glory
\\’e are proud too of PINKY. A!.I 1IIL KINGS MEN.
SNAKE PIT. GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT and certain Other
motion pictures, which like NO SAD SONGS FOR ME. .
dealt with unusual subiect matter.
This is a story of courage and people . . . not spe
cial people, but ordinary every-day people . . . with
a background of an average middle-sized town.
Mary Scott is one of these people, a woman of
courage . . of great courage and spirit. There are
thousands and thousands of Mary Scotts... 1 hey
live in small hamlets and big cities. Life gives them
the same benefits and the same penalties . . . and the
same sacrifices.
But in telling the story of this particular Mary
Scott and her great love for her husband and child,
there is as well within the confines of a screenplay, a
theme that is as wide as all humanity in its appeal. . .
something that has gained momentum in newspaper
headlines everywhere and will continue to hold the
interest of the entire world until the eventual hoped
for day of solution.
The consequences of this forthright presentation
of A0 SAD SOSGS FOR ME will echo and re-echo.

'ROOSEVELT STORY' I
OPENING TONIGHT
AT 20TH CENTURY
"This picture does the most for
world peace and world neighborli
ness.”
That was the wording of the
j award given United Artists’ “The
Roosevelt Story” at the World Film
Festival held last summe" in Bel
gium.
For “The Roosevelt Story” is me
story of Franklin Delano Roo :e
velt In nnd out of the White Hoti.se,
j from his earliest school days until
his death before he had a chance
to see the country’s course toward
world peace and world neighborli
ness come to fruition.
Produced by Martin Levine and
: Oliver A. Unger, and with the edit
, orial hel]) of Eleanor Roosevelt,
I “The Roosevelt Story” is the first
pictorinlization of the last 40 years
in the life of FDR, years impor
tant to the man, his and our country
and all the peoples of the world.
It has been said that “The Roose
velt Story” is “More than a motion j
picture;” the film represents the
people and we are the people.
, This, then, was the realization of i
the World Film Festival judges.
“The Roosevelt Story” is slated
to bow in at the 20th Century
i Theatre tonight for only a two-’
day run.

IN FILM AT CAPITOL
FOR P-TA FUND
I'. “Stars in My Crown,” to be
shown at the Capitol Theatre
March 21. 22 and 23 for the Juneau
f r'ent-Teacher Scholarship Fund,
Matro-Coldwyn-Mayer presents a
n otion picture abounding with hu
man interest. No claims are made
that this is the first of this type
of film ever produced. Movie-goers
recall ‘Goodbye, Mr. Chips,” “The
Yearling.” ‘ Going My Way.” “The
Human Comedy,” “The Stratton
Story.” Each of these films, though
based on varying story subjects,
had the same basic appeal of hon
esty and sincerity. Such a picture
is “Stars in My Crown.” There is
no violence, no killing, no eternal
triangles, but plenty of chuckles
and heart-warming emotions.
“Stars in My Crown" is an adap
I tation of Joe David Brown’s pop
ular novel of the same name. Mr.
Brown's novel, published in 1948,
was based on his collection of sto
ries which ran as a series in “The
Saturday Evening Post.”
The cast of “Stars in My Crown”
abounds with proven favorites and
new faces: Joel McCrca departs
from his customary Western roles
to play the part of a man whose
determination is more potent than
the guns he carried as a Civil War
cavalryman; Ellen Drew, Dean
Stockwell, top juvenile star, Alan
Hale and Lewis Stone, long time
favorites add zest to the picture
with their fine supporting roles.
Among the new faces are lovely
Amanda Blake and James Milchellj
sensational Broadway star of "Brig
adoon.”
Only tickets sold in advance by
schools student salesman will ben
efit the Parent-Teacher Scholar
ship Fund. Box office sales go en
tierly to the theatre. Students will'
sell tickets through March 23.

The unique quality and original
character of the Virginia Davi
programs, due to her keen sense
of the dramatic and fine flair for
comedy have made critics enthusi
astic in their praise of this youns.
singer-actress.
Of interest is the column of Paul
Hume (the Washington, D. C.( cri
tic who recently incurred the wrath
of President Truman by his criti
cism of Margaret Truman’s voice).
Written in the Washington Post
soon after his criticism of the
president’s daughter, the column by
Mr Hume is headed ’’Postlude” and
begins:
‘ If I may venture to express an
opinion—
"Virginia Dayis, who sang an un
usual program of folk and art songs
in the Phillips Gallery yesterday
afternoon, is a young lady of out
standing gifts and talents.”
The N. Y. Herald Tribune critic
said: “She has a beautiful lyric
voice, completely under her com
mand for the variety of things she
wishes to do with it.”
Gwendolyn Williams, her accom
panist, has been the accompanist
of the famous Lo' ie Lehmann, who
recently announced her retirement
from the concert stage.
Miss Davis and Miss Williams will
arrive in Juneau Thursday from
their concerts in the interior and
will leave Friday for their Sitka
I concert.
