perturbation Of the famous novel
by Sinclair Lewis, will be the
principal attraction at CrandalPs
Metropolitan Tneater next week,

The supporting bill will be COM
mensurate with the exceptional
quality Of the major feature.
The comedy for the week will
be supplied by Lige Conley, the
fastest conner among all Of the

In Main Street" Is disclosed
the brave but futile struggle
Of Carol Milford, artist and
idealist, to uplift the little Mime
sofa town of Gopher Pairie after
having become the bride Of VIII
Kennicott, the village doctor. The
dominant action Of the picture.
as was true also of the book,
does not so much reveal the
reaction Of a certain small town
to the influence Of one striving
to bring q sense of beauty to
a populace intent on adher1ng to
moss-grown traditions as it does
a state of mind prevalent on main
streets from one coast to the
other-the hard-headed American
devotion to q fixed mode of
living. It is not an easy task
to visualize all of the types
described by Mr.. Lewis In his
book, but the Warmers have &C.
complished 1t with astonishing
fidelity to the written work.
Monte Blue Is perfect DIR.
Kennicott and Florence Vidor is
admirable in the role OF the
young wife who met rebuff after
rebuff and finally found her
place in the Gopher Pairie scheme
of things through the most vicious
sort of scandal.
Others who are prominently
cast in this splendid entertain
ment are Harry Myers, Robert
