"CONE WITH The WIND"
WEDNESDAY, APRIL II

"Gone With the Wind" which will
be shown in the Marva Theatre for
four days, opening Wednesday, April
18th, is undoubtedly the most faithful
filmization of a novel in Hollywood
history. It is Margaret Mitchell's
great story of the Old South without
deviation and practically without e.
Elimination.
The characters are perfect, from
Scarlet and Rhett down to the tiniest
bit. Every character lives as Miss
Mitchell made him and her live in the
book which is acclaimed one of the
greatest stories of all times.
Clark Gable, is naturally, a perfect
Rhett Butler. That much was to be
expected and it's the greatest acting
job he has ever done. Vivian Leigh
is wholly Scarlet. She is the great
est find in decade, definitely an
overnight star. Leslie Howard is
outstanding and Olivia de Havilland
surpasses anything she's ever done.
For the other members of the cast,
one phrase will cover their perform
ance-ideal casting and brilliant act
ing.
"Gone With The Wind" gives the
screen a dignity it has never known
before. The picture will be remem-
bered as long as men and women can
still think and speak. To see it is
truly the thrill of lifetime.

Fishermen promise to make up
this week end what they lost yes
terday. Where the fishing wasn't
ruined yesterday by the weather it
was ruined anyway because anglers
stayed home and it was pretty
much of a loss all around.
Rock fishing still is shining down
In the lower Potomac, as witness a
catch made earlier this week by
Capt. Walter Cheseldine of River
Springs. With a party from Balti-
more he boated "a large stripers be-
tween S and Is pounds. In between
catching rock they got bushel of
hardhead and spot off Tall Timbers.
Spot are making their appear
ance in several other places and
before long these tasty little pan
fish will be all around either to de-
light the angler or plague him.
They are good eating and can be
prepared in number Of ways. On
the other hand, they mostly are
small and a bother to those after
something larger. Yet they won't
ignore bigger bats meant for trout
or hardhead but will nibble them
anyway, causing no end of worry.
Used for Bait.
Another use for spot aside from
eating is that they make an ex-
cellent bait for trout. Trout are
beginning to show along with hard
head in some of the bay catches,
especially along the lower Eastern
Shore. It won't be long before they
arrive up this way and We'll have

something beside hardhead for bot
tom fishermen.
Spot make one of the best bats
for trout in the bay. Take small
one and scale it. Then take cross
section cut out Of the fish just as
though you were taking steak
from large fish. This bit Of meat,
about a half inch thick and an inch
or so long, makes an excellent trout
lure.
Somehow or other, though, it
never has done much in the way of
catching hardhead and hardhead
likely will be your main concern
this week end. So take your shrimp
to such places as Ridge, Solomons
and similar lower bay spots for best
results, or for medium results to
North Beach, Seaside, Galesville,
Shadyside and the general upper
bay region.
Coast Fishing Good.
Channel bass still are going strong
at Cape Charles. while the big drum
report from Wachapreague says
fishing is limited, Otherwise, fish
ing there is good with excellent
catches of kingf1sh and fair hauls
OF trout up to 3 pounds. Croakers
as usual are plentiful.
ocean City is doing even better
on the bottom species, with plenty
OF sea bass, porgies, trout and some
nounder. But what they want is
marin and you can expect a fash
on that any day now because several
noats are outside every day hunt
