the agreement that he should bring

from a play by Nikolaus Laszlo,
famous Hungarian playwright. He
wanted Margaret SULLIVAN and
James Stewart for his stars In the
simple and heart-Warming tale Of
everyday events in the lives Of
everyday people, the owner and
clerks in a little Budapest leather
goods and novelty shop.
While waiting for the services Of
Miss SULLIVAN and Stewart, who

Poignant Romance
In Primrose Path

The romance of lonely girl
who is too ashamed of her dis
reputable family to let her sweet
heart know the truth about them,
is the basis Of Primrose PATH"
starring Ginger Rogers and Joel
McCrea at the Roxy theater.
Based on the highly successful
George Abbott Broadway produc-
ton, the story depicts the heart
stirring experiences of a girl bred
of a family dwelling in the brand
ed part Of town.
Her efforts to win a little hap
piness as she endures the taunts
of more fortunate youngsters, the
cynicism of her unregenerate
grandmother, the incompetence OF
her drunken father and the ques-
tionable reputation of her mother
counterpart the romantic thread
of the plot.
How she endeavors TO break
away from 1t all, her marriage TO
an ambitious young working man,
and the heart-gripping results
when her husband finds out the
sort of family he has unwilling
ly married into, make for the
poignant realism Of the picture.
In addition TO Miss Rogers and
McCrea, the cast includes Marjorie
Rambeau, Henry Travers. Miles
Mander. Queenie Vassar and little
Joan Carroll. Gregory La cava
directed and produced Primrose
Path" for RKO Radio.
