Edwin G. Reed, in presenting the

The association asked for traffic

lighting Of streets in the outlying
districts of the community was also
asked.
Stating that the pedestrian should
always have the right over We

to oppose pedestrian control and

growing gray and stopped in obscurity,

Of Mr.. Sherwood's play, which leans
heavily on Carl Sandberg, and Of Mr.

both the genius and the tragedy of

A years wait before getting her big
opportunity would have meant the
difference between lasting stardom
and the flash in the film pan that
ended SO swiftly in obscurity.
About year ago Joan Fontaine was
touted as new find and rushed into
the lead opposite Fred Astaire in
"Damsel in Distress" The merciless
spotlight revealed her acting to be
painfully amateurish, her movements
very awkward Nowadays Joan is the
first to admit she was not ready for
that wonderful break. A whole year
passed-during which she perfected her
art in numerous unimportant "B" pic
tures-before Radio had sufi-
clent confidence in Joan to give her
role in an "A" production, "Gunga
Din," where Miss Fontaine gets the
support of three male stars-Cary
Grant, Douglas Fairbanks, jr, and Vic
tor McLag1en. Here's hoping you are
ready for your second break, joan
and you are very lucky to get it.
Few filmites who fail the first time
get that second opportunity. Take
Carol Hughes, for example. Carol was

ments Of her trade in small roles in

Shakespeare is the greatest playwright
who ever lived and Hamlet" is the
greatest play he ever wrote. It's a
roaring thing that blasts the heart and
brain Of all within earshot.
In the uncut version, Hamlet" is a
play full Of characters. Even Ophelia
and Guildensten and Rosencrantz are
people as Shakespeare wrote them.
With Katherine Locke to touch Ophelia
with beauty and sensitivity, with Mady
Christians to make the Queen utterly
heart-breaking, with Whitford Kane
to rollick through the task of grave

superb direction and magnificent sup

our destiny is changed and We come
