 Wednesday the Strand will usher in e gala New Years screen show with Warner Bros. thrilling hit of the old west "They Died With Their Boots On" as the headliner of the bill, with Errol Flynn and Olivia do Havilland in co-starring leads.
 "They Died With Their Boots On" reenacts one of the most spec- tact,lar events in United States military history - General Clusters last stand at Little Big Horn, Mon- tana.
 Flynn portrays Custer in the film which is the first to deal with the life of the famous American Sol- dier. Miss de Havilland, Hymns lovely co-star In so many previous adventure films, plays the role of Elizabeth Bacon, who became Mrs. Custer.
 The battle of the Little Big Horn has been the subject of more con- troversy and has been re-fought more often than any other Amer ican campaign. Many historians are critical of what they call Clusters sacrifice of his men. They call him Q grandstander, man who wore Q uniform of black velvet and a red necktie, But all pay tribute to his courage
 In addition to Flynn and Miss de Havilland, the film features such fine supporting players as Gene Lockhart, Charley Grape win, Regis Toomey, Stanley Ridges, Arthur Kennedy and thousands of others.
 Moonlight sn Hawaii" a merry musical romance that is "Inust" for everyone, is tho second hit of the program and features such fa- Vorites as Jane Frazee, the Mer- " Macs, Leon Errol and Mtscha Auer.

 we are facing Q great problem as well as the motoriSt. We realize the importance of keeping some cars on the road, although they arc drastically affected by tire ration ing rules, It Is going to be largely a matter of study and an evolvement of rules based on plain, ordinary common sense,"
 It was hinted by the commissioner that notifications in present rules may be made and that standards may be altered. He pointed out, however, that present tires can be retreNted or recapped to give some thousands of miles more service.
 Commissioner McCarthy's am nouncement is not expected to have any great effect on cars inspected during the present period, ending Jan. l5, but undoubtedly will hit many cars during the next inspec- ton period,
 Gradually increasing use of re- treaded or recapped tires Is ex- pected by safety experts to lead to a great reduction in average driving speeds.
