The Wind and the Rose

Inc Wn0 ana the Rose
Said the wind to the rose in the
garden one day,
I'm the greatest power in the land.
The ships at sea and the mightiest
oak
All CULVER and bow at my command.
could draw myself up in the form
of demon
And blow and blow with all my
might,
There'd be fears and prayers in the
hearts of all men
And thousands would perish in the
tempest tonight
Then he stopped boasting to hear her
reply
And the rose in all her radiance stood.
Said she, what marks our greatness
from day to day
Is not the harm we do, but the good.
AS a token to lovers throughout the
land
earn admiration from all passers-by,
I make them smile-you make them
cry,
Who is the greater, you or II"

BY GARDEN CLUB EDITOR

Ten new and superior flowers make
up the 1941 All-American flower Sc
lectionS.
Petunia Blue Brocade gets the top
silver medal award. An alI-double
violet-blue of giant fringed class. It
belongs to the Victorious, or dwarf
growing group so stands without
stalking.
Petunia Radiance, another silver
medal winner also rather dwarf.
medium-sized, single flowered It is
an extremely heavy bloomer, deep
and brilliant cerise-rose.
Petunia First Lady came from the
Orient. 1t won in the 1899 trials, but
there was not enough seed to intro
duce it. 1t is the purest and lightest
pink in petunias. 1t is very prolific,
the flowers are also larger than
others in this dwarf, compact type.
Very desirable new color for bedding,
potting and window boxes.
An honorable mention goes to Pc
tuna Violet Gem Miniature edging
rockery or potting plant only six
inches tall but covered with small.
bluntly starred, single flowers of vio-
let-blue.
Marigold Spry (silver medaD is
of the dwarf Harmony French type.
Outer rows of petals are bright ma
room, surmounted by glowing crest
of light orange.
Marigold Goldsmith (bronze medaD
introduces the first variety of new
giant-flowered Dixie Sunshine type
They are fine, big, base-branching
plants, with three-inch, double COL
den-orange flowers on fine cutting
stems
Marigold Scarlet Glow gets honor
able mention. 1t grows a foot tall
and the bushy plants open double
flowers of bright, light maroon, the
richest red found in this popular
family. This color gradually changes
to russell and few plants in the trial
produced variegated gold and red
flowers.
Rosy Morn Phlox winner of first
bronze medal. The big trusses of
snowy flowers, are a foot high and
this is by far the finest kind of
annual Phlox.
Zinnia Black Ruby (bronze medaD
adds a deep or blackish maroon
variety to the Lilliput or Pompon
class.
Scabiosa Peace honorable men,
tom. Its beehive-shaped pure white
flowers are on wiry, cutting stems.

For this set, for intance, you'd have to be able to decide: How long should the pier be? shall the fish grotto have sawdust on the floor? what can be done with the huge Spanish galleon and Q sailing vessel, props left over from "I'he Sea Hawk" and '"The Sea Wolf," both too big to move off the setp
 Here are weyl's answers: "The length of the pier is limited, of course, by the size of the sound stage, but ,also as much by the amount of dialog inaction scenes played on the pier. You can't have couple of characters just walk back and forth, time after time, in a limited space. I figure 1t as 6 foot per word - try 1t and see if 1t doesn't work. But the first time I had to plan @ set for dialog, I had to ask the actors to rehearse the scene for me while I counted and measured.
 T decided against Q sawdust- covered floor. If this were Q waterfront dive yes, but it's Q re- spectacle neighborhood place, and family lives upstairs. That was

STATE

The powerful picturization of the famous Jack London novel "The Sea Wolf" opened c four.day engage meflA at Warner's State theater this afternoon with Q star-studded cast headed by three of the screens most dynamic players, Edward c. Robin son, Ida Lupino and John Garfield.
 A powerful story of life aboard the heliship "0hoSt," The Sea Wolfn tells the story of Wolf Larsen who ruled the lives (and often the deatfs) of the men in his shang- haied crews. Into this n1ilieu comes c frightened young girl who is flee- ing from prison and Q sensitive yonn gauthor, picked up from the wreck of Q San Francisco ferry. The impact of this pair upon the oddly assorted crew of "The Ghost" makes Q dramatic and memorable story, which finds it's perfect medium in film.
 A tender and highly unusual love story is woven through the powerful action with Ida Lupino and John Garfield as the sweethearts. Robin son, of course, portrays Larsen. Alexander Knox, very promising screen newcomer, plays the role of the young author, and Barry Fitz- gerald, one of thes creen's most brilliant character actors, plays Cookie" sriveling, sliiny coward who fawningly reports to Larsen everything that goes on among the other members of the crew.
 Others in the supporting cast in- clude Gene Lockhart, Stanley Ridges and Francis Mcdonald.
 As the second big hit the manage ment presents 'Meet the Chump," an hilarious comedy staring your favorite comedian Hugh Herbert.
 Plans have been completed for @ huge midnight stage and screen show which will be held at the Loew Poli theater Saturday night, March 20th, in cooperation with the amuse- ment industry division of the Greek War Relief drive. All local theater managers are lending thei rsupport to the drive. Tickets for the event may be purchased at the State the- ater box office.
 The first of the State theater Early Bird" shows will be held at that theater Friday morning start- Ing promptly at 10 o'clock.
 The early showing of "The Sea Wolf" and other features of this program Is for the convenience of those who canont attend regular matinee an devening performances an dis mainly for the benefit of the thousands of workers who are em- ployed on the "late shifts" in local factories. Regular matinee prices .o8 2ec, including tax, will be effec- tive.

STRAND

Chuckles, laughs and howls rocked the walls of Warmers Strand thea- ter today when the sensational comedy "The Philadelphia Story opened four day engagement with Katherine Hepburn, Gary Grant and James Stewart in the Co-starring roles.
 Adapted from the New York stage hit which also featured Miss Hep- burn "The Philadelphia Story" is hailed as one of the gayest, bright est and most unusual comedies of the year. If the play had half the laughs and sparkle of the motion picture 1t was worth double the price.
 From the moment Grant pushes Miss Hepburn in the face and walks out to become her ex-hus- band, the film moves with fast paced, breezy action, punctuated at intervals with surprise laughs because this is a picture that fol- lows none of the familiar formulas
