Every character actor should

Opening Monday

Mighty epic of a mighty nation,
THE Towards of Virginia. opens
Thursday at the Caroline Theatre
to unfold a story torn out of the
rugged background of America, a
story so stirring and s, timely that
it might have been taken from to-
days headlines! A story of the
birth of freedom and democracy
in America, THE Towards of Vir-
ginia' is said to be a wondrously
exciting, ever-stirring drama of the
struggle between Tory aristocrat
and simple man of the soil for
the right to build a nation.
Cary Grant and Martha Scott
are co-starred in the new Frank
Lloyd production, which was based
upon Elizabeth Pages sensational
Literary Guild best-seller, 1T h e
Tree of Liberty" Sidney Buchanan,
of Mr.. Smith Goes to WashinI-
TOM fame, penned the adaptation,
and the supporting cast includes
Sir Cedric Hardwicke, Alan Mar
shall and Richard Carlson.
Grant, deserving his light COM
edy roles for the Columbia picture,
is said to give the screen the great
est performance of his career in
his portrait of Matt Howard,
hardy, untamed frontiersman, who
falls in love with a gracious Vir-
ginia belle and, with her, builds a
home in the wilderness. 1t is not
only a conquest of the soil which
makes Grants part SO moving; it
is the earnestness and the grim
determination with which he is
willing to give his life, willing to
risk his home and his happiness,
in the fight for American freedom
freedom to worship, freedom to
speak and to write and to assem-
ble-and the struggle for a gov
eminent in which the majority
shall rule and the minority shll
have the right to speak freely.
Therein lies the timeliness which
has made THE Towards of Vir-
ginia" something more than just
a spectacular, colorful motion pic
ture. THE Towards of Virginia"
is a picture of a special type, and
from it the world can earn a great
deal; from it the world can learn
that history's pages a supply the
answers to today's problems.
Advance reports are unanimous
in their praises of Grant and Miss
Scott, who scored a personal trl-
umph in Our Town. and praise
is also given to the lesser players.
Frank Lloyd's direction is said to
be even greater than ever, so that
his THE Towards of Virginia"
energies a more moving and more
memorable production than even
his "Cavalcade" or ''Mutiny on the
Bounty" LID

Who argues with a smile;
Who tries to change my point of

In honest, open style.
I like a free discussion with
A man who is my friend,
That leaves no bitter feelings, but
Good humor at the end.
Who never says I'm crazy when
I beg to disagree,
But reasons with me firmly though
His side I can not see.
Who never leaps upon his feet
And waves his arms around
To force his own convictions with
Accompaniment of sound.
Who states his clear opinions in
A calm, decided way,
And then, in courteous manner
stops
To let me have my say.

Who never is a bore,
And when debate is ended, we're

Though the deal is raw.
