STAGE HIT OPENS
 ON POLFS SCREEN
''Little Nellie Kelly" Starr ring Judy Garland, Fea=
 lures Inviting Bill

Judy Garland, who intrigued and charmed millions in Strike Up The Band," and other Hitting musical hits, provides her audiences with a new surprise in her first solo star ring vehicle, Little Nellie Kelly" in which, as an Irish colleen on the sidewalks of New York, she is ap- bearing today at the Loew Poli The ater, where the picture opens a four day engagement.
 George M. Cohan's smash Broad way stage hit provides her with an ideal vehicle in which to portray the joy and romance of youth, to sing favorite old-time ballads as well as Streamlined modern songs. It pre- sents opposite her Douglas McPhail, youthful baritone who adds another smash performance to his laurels. And Judy ventures, very success fully, too, into few moments of poignant drama amid the comical battles of the scrappy Kelly and Noonan families.
 Judy shows a new facet in her many sided talents in the role, first of the young Irish girl who marries and journeys to the promised land of America-later as the joyous charmer of the Bowery, a charac- terization that easily takes its place as one of her greatest performances. She proves without the shadow of a doubt that she is capable of purely dramatic roles. In addition, she dis plays a new style in singing such ballads as "It's A Great Day For the Irish" and the lifting folk song, Pretty Girl Milking Her Cow" For the lovers of more modern tunes is the ever popular "Singin' in the Rain," and many more.
 The supporting cast is headed by George Murphy in one of the grand est roles of his career. Charles Win ninger, seen as the elderly Irish grandfather, gets one of his best op- portunities in months and makes

 Coming to the Strand on Wednes- day is the film biography of the great Knute Rockne as told in the great Warner Bros. production "Knute Rockne-All American" In the role of the great Rock" will be Pat O'Brien while others of the cast include Gale Page, Ronald Reagan, Donald Crisp and many other fa- vorites. Co-featuring the program will be Dance, Girl, Dance," with Lucille Ball, Ann Miller and Rich ard Carlson heading the giant cast.
 Among the many big Init" pictures coming soon to the Strand are Third Finger, Left Hand" "The Westerner," They Knew What They Wanted" '"The Mark of Zorro" and Escape"

the most of it. Douglas McPhail, youthful baritone remembered for his work in Babes In Arms" essays the juvenile lead with sincerity and feeling.
 The second big hit on the program is "The Devils Pipeline" featuring Richard Arlen and Andy Devine in rugged, action-packed adventure tale.
 Bristling with drama, suspense and excitement, the story presents Dick and Andy as American petrol cum engineers sent to a tropical is- land to investigate treachery and intrigue at their company's oil fields.
 Supporting roles are enacted by Jeanne Kelly, John Eldredge, Mala and Francis Mcdonald.

Red Lodge Chronmite
Deposits Again ON
Lists

More than a year ago Tom Grid
Ter. chairman of Republic Steel
corporation, warned: Down in
Kentucky buried in deep under
ground vaults we have stored away
a vast pile of gold. The time might
come when we would gladly give
all of that gold for a pile of des-
perately needed manganese or
chromium
Since then the United States has
expended large sums TO purchase four
essential commodities = manganese.
chromium, tin and tungsten-none of
which are produced in sufficient guam
tity in this nation for wartime needs.
Another result Of the demand for
these metals resulted in an extensive
survey of possible sources within the
United States, including a study OF
extensive chromite deposits in the Red
Lodge Big Timber area, and the pos
sibility of developing the Montana
deposits.
