BY rights, q report OF Gone
With the Wind" which opened
yesterday at the Jewel Theatre,
should be merely the statement:
The greatest picture ever made
in every detail.
There are so many superla-
tives about this picture which
David o. Selznick has 30 finely
produced and Victor Fleming
50 humanity and amaxingly d.
rected, that one approaches the
task of reporting the event Of
the pictures showing here with
q fear that words are wholly In
adequate and that the limita-
tions Of space prevent praise for
everyone concerned.
"Gone With the Wind" 10 the
most faithful filmization Of q
novel the screen has ever at
tempted. Every word, charac-
ter and event in Margaret Nit
chell's dramatic story lives on
the screen. It contains undoubt-
eddy the most beautiful and
breath-taking Technicolor pho
Biography conceivable.
Clark Gable, is naturally, q
perfect Rhett Butler. That much
was to be expected and it's the
greatest acting job he's ever
done. Vivien Leigh is wholly
Scarlet. She Is the greatest
find in a decade, definitely an
overnight star. Leslie Howard
is outstanding and Olivia de
Haviland surpasses anything
she's ever done. Those are the
stars; for the others, one phrase
will cover their performance
ideal casting and brilliant act
ing. Among the featured play
ers who shine brilliantly are
Thomas Mitchell, Hattie Nc
Daniel, Barbara O'Neil, Ona
Munson, Laura Hope Crews, Car

Reyes, Ann Rutherford, Butter
fly Mcqueen, Oscar Polk, Victor

"Gone With the Wind" gives
the screen a dignity it has never
known before. The picture will
be remembered as long as men
and women can still think and
speak. The current engage
ment of "Gone With the Wind
presents the picture in its COM
plete version, exactly as shown

In Rome, Il was officially an
nounced that Premier Mussolini
and Spanish Generalissimo
Francisco Franco reached "com-

Of Italy and Spain in the war,
on European reorganization, and
on Mediterranean and African
problems.

Italian capital said SPANS i'm

probably was not proposed by
II Duce, but that eventually
Spain might become the base
for an Axis assault on Britains'

Gibraltar.
In London, British circles de-
clared that twin German attacks
on Gibraltar and the Suez Canal
were expected within the next
80 days" in an attempt to lso-
late British forces in the Libyan
desert campaign in North At
RIGA.
There was no mention of Ger
many in the announcements of
the Mussolini-Franco converse
tons, but there were plenty of
reports indicating that Axis
partner might be about to give
a new twist to the war in the
Balkans.
Nearly 100000 German SOL
diers were estimated to be con-
centrated in Rumania, and there
were persistent reports that
others disguised as civilians had
filtered into little Bulgaria next
door-possibly in preparation
for a push toward the Mediter-
ranean through Greece and Tur-
key.
There were reports from we'll
informed Balkan quarters that
Turkish diplomatic circles had
instituted a campaign for q
united Balkan defense front
made up of Bulgaria, Greece
= Yugoslavia and Turkey, but the
campaign admittedly was begun
with little hope of success.
British African troops were

Whether the March allot-

however, that the army should

American official circles said

would be limited to $780,

No appropriation is included

Under the committee ap-
proved bill, he also could obtain

The speaker continued with:
AT the age of 81, Lincoln's life
really began in Illinois. There
his father hired him out to farm
ers to split rails and by splitting
1,400 he earned his first pair
of wool pants.
Gle first saw slavery when
in New Orleans. He saw a lovely
girl handled like q cow or a
horse. He said when the time
comes, 4 will hit that thing
Lincoln tried various bust
nesses in vain and in one of them
he and his partner went bank
rupt. Abe owed $1,000 and it
took him Is years to pay off
that debt.
: "A crowd of toughs once chal-
lenged Abe to fight. He told
them he'd take them on one at
q time and, after he pinned their
champion Jack Armstrong in a
wrestling match, he became their
friend for life.
"He found a copy of Black
stone in a barrel he bought. It
was then he first became inter-
ested in law and to me he was
one of the four greatest lawyers
Of all time.
Lincoln ran for the legisla-
ture in Illinois twice and the
second time he was elected. In
the legislature he teamed with
nine men his own height and
they were successful in moving
the capitol to Springfield.

he proved the sole witness could
not have seen Armstrong COM
NIT q murder because there was
no moon on the night of the
crime.
ABE Lincoln was one of the
most human and lovable indi-
viduals of all time. He was also
very religious. Once when he
was driving to court, he stopped
his horse to pick up birds nest,
saying, I couldn't have slept to-
night IL I hadn't gone back
Following his first Inaugural
ton, seven states seeded and
then Sumpter was fired on. Why,
things were so bad he didn't run
for reelection on the Republican
ticket at all. Instead, he was
elected on the National Union
ticket, and his running mate for
vice-president, Andrew John
ston, was q Democrat.
During the Civil War, gen.
eral after general failed him and
then he found Grant who had
virtually been cashiered out of
the army for drunkenness"
When Owen left his chrome
logical account of Lincoln's life
long enough to describe Wendell
Willkie as "the greatest Repub-
lican of all time" and "the next
president of the United States"
he won only scant applause from
an audience composed almost en-
tirely of Republicans.
He continued with: "Lincoln's
