OUR GROUP REMAINS INTACT

Chairman Burke's insistence at
Washington that "our group remains
intact" is sample of the sort of ac-
ton which is needed to uphold the best
traditions of Massachusetts. Warned
of probable display of color prejudice
at the national capital, Elector Taylor
told Boston friends that he would stand
his ground and would fight-not only
for himself but as a duty to the state
of which he is a Presidential elector.
Massachusetts standards triumphed.

"Gone With the Wind.' which is currently showing at the Loew Poli theater, is undoubtedly the most faithful Animation of a novel in Hollywood history. It is Margaret Mitchell's great story Of the old South without deviation and prac- tically without elimination. After this has been recorded, little mere need be said as an unqualified recommendation for the picture. Millions of readers consider the novel one of the greatest stories of all time; faithful filming of that story must of necessity make the picture one of the greatest of move history.

''Fireman's Flame" Calls for Elaborate ''PrOps,"
 Wardrobe, Larger Cast

From all indications the Civic Theater faces its most ambitious project in the presentation of Fire mans Flame" at the Waterbury Women's Club on February 9th and 7th. The augmented cast presents only one of several problems for the various committees. Elaborate scenery, period costumes" Il1li- forms, ballet dresses and few Oth- CT incidentalS are providing plenty of thought, and work for the corn- mittee on properties.
 Under the direction of Helen Mi- ner, a crew of builders and paint CTS has been hard at work for the past month creating the many set- tings called for by the plot of this musical melodrama. The Statf which incudes Mary Lee Jeter, Thomas Summa, Clarissa Deming and Marjorie Farley, has built and painted over 1880 square feet of scenery, using & range of 30 colors, in executing the designs of Robert Bardwell, director of the theater.
 The action of the play calls for some 16 scenes, among which are a Fifth avenue mansion; garret room; Wall Street office; Battery park; a firehouse; an elaborate drawing room and many others. Anthony Rodgers is in charge of the special effects which feature a fire engine race.
 The wardrobe of authentic ball gowns, street clothes, ballet cos tunes and firemen's uniforms, is being assembled by a committee comprised of Lucille Guilbert, Mrs. H. J. Stettbacher, Mrs. R. L. Wood, and Marilou Clemente.

LABOR STRIFE TO

Judiciary Committee O1 House Plans to Probe
 Into Trouble
BY JAMES SHEPLEY

(Umted Press Stair COrreSpOndent)
 Washington, Jan. 28.-(UP)-Tht House judiciary committee planned an Investigation of labor strife ir defense industries today and oi charges that unions are demanding eXorbitant initiation fees from de- fense workers.
 Chairman Hatton w. Summers, D Texas), said that the "entire labor situation in defense industries and and projects would be studied possibly by subcommittee. He called a meeting of the full commit tee for today.
 It already has before it bills to outlaw the closed shop i'll defense industries and strikes against firms holding defense contracts until the secretary of labor has had month to mediate.
 Chairman Carl Vinson, O., Ga.) of the naval affairs committee, is preparing legislation to require me- diation of any labor disputes involv- ing naval contracts, under machin- cry similar to that of the railway madiation act. A bill to create a. most identical procedure for dis puteS in the merchant marine has been introduced in the House by Rep. Everett M. Dirksen, R., Il.
 Rep. Howard w. Smith, D., Va, chairman of a House committee which investigated the National La- bor Relations Board last session, and Rep. E. E. Cox, D.. Ga, in- troduced the bills now before the judiciary committee last week after an unsuccessful attempt to write a appropriation bill.
 Against Labor Interests
 A specia committee appointed by Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins to study a model sabotage preven- tion bill now pending in several state legislatures has reported that the bill is contrary to labor inter- ests and would prohibit lawful la- Dor activity" when such acts im- pede defense production.
 The committee also said that un. der the proposa, strike, slow down, temporary stoppage or picketing would be treated on the same basis as dynamiting, without regarding for labor's legal rights or criminal liability.
 "The act in peace time wouleld practically prevent any free in. dividual from doing any act im- peding production for defense un. der pain of the heaviest criminal penalties" the report said.

version aothing cut but the price offering those who have not witt messed it previously - the entertain ment treat of a lifetime.
 Each character lives as Miss Nit chell made him her live in the book. This is tribute to the production genius of David O. Selznick and the brilliant direction of Victor Fleming, who has never failed in an assign ment, and to the players themselves.
 Clark Gable is, of course, the per- feet Rhett Butler Technicolor en- hances his personality, which already is the most amazing per- sonality the screen has ever known. His work is the best of his, whole career. Equally brilliant is the work of Vivien Leigh. How any living girl can so closely resemble Scarlett and duplicate that fictional charac- ter in temperament and action is astounding. Miss Leigh does all this and more. She turns in one of the screens greatest performances. She is the screens newest star. Leslie Howard is more than perfect - if such can be possible. Olivia De Havilland has never done greater work and it is difficult to see how she can ever top her Melanie role. Thomas Mitchell is outstanding as Gerald O'Hara. HattiS McDaniel emerges as the greatest actress the Negro race has ever known

STRAND

Attractions concluding their en- agreements this evening at the popu- lar Warner Bros. Strand theater are South of Suez," co-Starring George Brent and Brenda Marshall; also Dick Powell and Ellen Drew in Christmas In July
 Thrills, color, action and excite ment will be the highlights of the new show opening at the Strand tomorrow when the action-epic epic, Santa Fe Trair' arrives at that theater with Errol Flynn and Olivia de Havilland in the co-star- ring leads.
 Besides Flynn and Miss De Hav- illand the picture boasts big name cast and is said to top even the thrills of Charge of the Light Bri- gade" and Dodge City"
 The picture concerns itself with the stirring story of the era just pre- ceding the Civil War, when Jeb Stuart and General Custer, newly graduated from West Point began the military careers which have made them two of the most color full and heroic figures in American history.
 It is seldom that a film so replete with action finds time to paint up the excellence of its acting as well as Santa Fe Trail" Flynn in the role of Jeb Stuart is superbly the master of all the situations in which he becomes involved, and decidedly believable in the role of the famous cavalry commander. Raymond Mas sey, whose stage and screen portray als of Lincoln will be long remem- bered, is brilliantly cast as John Brown, fanatic Zealot, fearful and frightening as he demands "an eye for an eye" As Custer, Ronald Reagan, who made screen history with portrayal of George Gipp ir ''Knute Rockne -A All American shows himself to be one of the screens best young actors. Oliva dc Havilland takes the part of a fem mine Exit Carson" and plays the romantic lead opposite Flynn.
