and Technicolor.

OOK1NG at Hollywood with the
intelligence which hardly would
be expected of any one studying a
subject so close to home, the movie
people have turned out bang-up
film story of the rise and fall of the
Hollywood tide. You know all about
1t by now, probably, because it already
has played two weeks at Loew's Pal
ace. The name Of it is "a Star Is
Born and 1t now is at LeoW's Colum-
bia Theater for another F street
week.
"A Star Is Born" has, in addition
70 this sane treatment of the Holly
wood subject, Janet Gaynor in techni-
color, Frederic. March in one of those
fine performances which make you
wonder why he's sometimes wasted on
lesser things; Lionel Stander, Adolphe
Menjou and superb blending of hu-
NOR with pathos.
It's the story Of young girl with
movie aspirations. and her rise while
the star she marries falls. There's a
sequence near the end, where Frederic
March realizes what he has become
and walks west from the eastern
shore OF the Pacific, that reduces
women to shuddering heaps and puts
tears IN the eyes of strong men.
"A Star Is Born" ought to be on
the must list in the little red book.
