POIGNANT DRAMA TO HAVE FINAL SHOWING
 TONIGHT AT COLISEUM

One of the most poignantly hu~ man pictures to come out of Hol- lywood will end tonight at the Coliseum Theatre. Entitled Our Neighbors-the Carters.'
 It features grand cast headed by Fay Bainter Frank Craven, Ed mund Lowe and Genevieve Tobin, and tells a story which, mixing pathos with humor and romance. is designed to appeal directly to the heart.
 Briefly, it tells how Craven and Miss Bainter. as heads of the Garter family, are happy despite the lack of wealth in the usual sense. Far more precious to them are their comfortable home, their five children, and Cravens busi- ness reputation he's the town druggist and has been for years
 Excitement enters the lives os he Carters when Miss Bainter caves for Chicago to visit old friends. played by Edmund Lowe and Genevieve Tobin, who have become very successful. The real purpose of her visit, however, is to arrange an operation for one of the children who has been crip- pied since birth When she returns, her husband has lost his business to a large competitor hTe ensu- ing events, replete with tears and smiles, lead the picture to ten- der and happy climax.

the best Broadway Melody pie ture ever and the greatest musical picture of the year.
 It was sheer genius that teamed Astaire and Miss Powell and this reviewers only regret IS that it didn't happen years ago. But rot satisfied with the two greatest dancers on the screen ill one picture, the studio adds George Murphy to the menu and Murphy long has been making himself a stellar dancing favorite in the world
 Including solo dances. twosomes and trio numbers between the prin- cipals, the film boasts nine dances, One Of these is the first presenta- ton as a dance of Begin the Be- guine," which is too beautiful to describe. It is done on mirrors, and before it is over you imagine it was all being done with mirrors, so ap- pealing is the number.
 Astame was never better and cer- tainly fans will agree that this picture shows a new and loVeller Eleanor Powell. Murphy, as a re- suit of this one, is practically a star. The comedy is handled as the public loves it-by Frank Morgan Florence Rice and Lynne Carver are clever and eye-filling and Ian Hunter continues to give his super performances.

NEW YORK - Had Maxwell Anderson put the King James version of the Bible on the stage in his Journey to Jerusalem" he m g h t conceivably have achieved the purpose and the poetic sweep he so gallantly sought for his play. But in relying on his own muse for picturing the 12-year-old Jesus, his Journey to Jerusalem" has proved a pedestrian and rather undramatic enterprise, not with out it's moments of beauty and drama, but falling considerably short of what your reporter be- lieves are the requirements of a magnum opus.
 Herod's soothsayer sees in the stars the same portent of trag- edy for the royal house which twelve years before marked the birth of the Savior. He calcu. lates that the destruction of boys born in Jerusalem on that date had not been complete, that one escaped, aud that that one is the Messiah. Herod orders a census of all entering the gates of the city for the celebration of the Feast of Passover.
 Young Jesus, journeying to the Holy City for observation of the Feast with His family, is stopped in the desert by the prophet Ishmael. Knowing the Child for the Messiah, Ishmael lies to the scribe at the gate, claiming Joshua (the Hebrew name for Jesus) as his son, and giving his age as thirteen. This is the one truly dramatic moment in the play, and here the young Jesus enters the city and eventually confounds the bearded and wise Sanhedrin with His purity and wisdom The play ends on Herods mani. acal panic, and the mad turmoil of the Romans search for the child Messiah.
 One could easily underesti mate the fearful task of putting such a play on the stage of to

Mayor Recognized Efficiency Says McGmk-ltalian
 League Fails to Adopt UpsOn Resolution

mayor of New Haven last fall, pointed out the surprisingly close margin by which he was defeated and predicted Republican victory in the Elm City in l94l.
 He charged that the Democrats had calnpaigned unfairly against him.
 Mayor Scully has failed to give recognition to the Italians of Wa terbury despite the many of them who supported him in the election, declared another of the speakers John PeloSi. There are 5000 Ital- ians on the Democratic primary list, he said, but they have been ig- nored in the distribution of patrorl- age.
 Cooperation Needed
 Cooperation between the various local Republican factions is needed if the party is to be successful, said Attorneys Maurice Grliskay and George Crocicchia.
 The resolution urging the reten- tion of MT. Upson had been pre- viously adopted by the leagues board of directors. A vote of thanks was given the retiring officers, headed by President Michael J'An- thony.

Washington, March 12. = John Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath" was shocker aimed at the fertile valley ranches of California. But in the minds of many of the department of agricultue's experts, it is a symbol of something that is happening to American agriculture as whole.
 This something is the growth of what they believe to be a new kind of agriculture, in which farm is crop-producing factory, not way of life-and in which some authorities foresee the rise of a permanent caste" of landless farm workers.
 One authority, Paul s. Taylor, pro- lessor of economics at the University of California, testified before the La Toilette committee on California farm labor troubles. Professor Taylor held that the plight of the "Okies" offers a preview of what is beginning to happen in many other localities. SEES SHRINKING CHANGE
 TO WORK UP"
 Until recently, he declares, hard working, thrifty man could begin as tenant or hired man" and wind up farm owner. But now "a large num- Der of persons gainfully employed in agriculture-probably not far from ne-third-have more or less fixed labor status as wage workers or share-croppers."
 Dr. o. E. Baker, senior economist in the Bureau of Agricultural Econ- omics, remarks that farming is split into halves-half prosperous, half poverty-stricken. He adds:
 "As tenancy and mortgage debt have increased, there has been tendency to extend the borders of the country characterized by poverty"

A published report that a resolu- ton urging that J. Warren Upson' be retained as Republican town chairman was adopted at the annual meeting of the Italian Republican League last night was denied today by some of those attending the meeting. They declared that the board of directors reported that 1t had adopted such resolution but that Michael J'Anthony, retiring president, did not offer 1t for action by the entire membership.
 MT. J'Anthony, they said, explain ed that he had learned authorita- lively that MT. Upson did mot wish to seek another term as town chair man. In view of this, MT. J'Anthony was quoted as saying, there was no point in submitting the resolution to the whole league.
 New officers were elected with the slate being headed by Anthony Pe- trillo as president. Pleas for har- mony in local Republican ranks were made by several of the speak, CTS.
 John J. McGurk, of the A. F. of L. declared that the ability of local Republicans had been recognized by Mayor Vincent A. Scully when he chose Herbert Scott-Smith for sup erintendent of streets. Had Patrick M. Perriello been given the G. O. P nomination for mayor last fall, he would have been elected, MT. Me- Gurk said.

 More than quarter of the na- tion's farms in 1899 raised less than $500 in produce. The average Euro pean peasant, says Dr. Baker, does nearly twice this well0 Nearly 1,00O,- 900 farms produced less than $4OO apiece-and only fifth of these were part-time farms.
 Farm tenancy has been increasing, Dr. Baker says. Twenty five per cent of our farmers were tenants in 1880; 42 per cent in 1885, and in some states the percentage was up to 70. The Bureau of Agricultural Econ- omics asserts, it has become increas- ingly difficult for tenants to become owners. We have the beginnings oi a permanent stratification of our farm population"
