 Four-H0ur Version

Gone with the Wind" famous four hour movie starring Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable, which opened at the Capitol Sunday and continues tonight and Wednesday, is proving as popular in it's second showing as when first shown q year ago.
 When Gone with the Wind opened in Atlanta, Georgian critics all agreed that MT Selznick and Director Victor Fleming had fash toned stunning and epochal en- tertainment from Margaret Nit chell's best-selling novel of the Old South. Reviewers in New York and throughout the nation were virtually unanimous in their echo ing of this praise and in lauding the individual performances of Vivien Leigh as Scarlett O'Hara, Clark Gable, Olivia de Havilland and Leslie Howard. "The biggest, greatest and best picture ever made" was Motion Picture Daily's designation of the three hour and forty-five minute production. The Hollywood Reporter said; The su- pIeme triumph of film history" The Boston Traveller called the production the most magnificent motion picture we have ever seen. The Minneapolis Times Tribune termed the films release "the greatest event in the history of the entertainment world" The New York Times declared the release the most ambitious film making venture in Hollywood history and the Washington Times-Herald said: The greatest motion picture of all time"

 This. we understand, is the first picture to be made by Preston Sturges under his new writer-di- rector contract with Paramount
 The selection of the cast also must have been inspired largely by Sturges's decisions as to whe would most capably fit into ths roles he had created.

Senators Consider Replacing
SkyIiqht With Plaster Ceiling

that there should be no objection
to a change that would improve
the light and acoustics.
Senator Andrews said another
suggestion had been made to him
that if the galleries were glassed in,
and the proceedings carried into the
galleries by sound apparatus,
acoustics would be improved on the
floor, but Mr.. Lynn disagreed with
that conclusion, and Senator An
drews indicated it would not be pur-
sued further.
Both the House and Senate cham
bers have networks of temporary
steel Orders in them to strengthen
the ceilings until long recess of
Congress makes it possible to put
new roof on the Capitol. 1t is
doubtful if any changes relating to
acoustics and light will be made
until the new roof can be built.
Senator Andrews is author of a
resolution calling for a study Of the
subject, which is before the COM
mittee for report.

Tidal Basin Bridge Job
Let, Work Starts Soon

Contract for construction OF a
new outlet bridge for Tidal Basin
the first major link in the 100000
grade separation structure for Four
tenth street and Maine avenue
SW.-has been awarded to the
Charles H. Tompkins Co. of this
city under a negotiated price of
S260,581, the Commissioners an
nounced today.
Work is expected to be started
within two weeks.
Recently competitive bids were re-
ceived by the Commissioners. Only
two bidders responded. the lowest
offer being S275,900. District en-
gineers regarded the price as too
high, but actually both OF these
bidders were said to have disquali-
fed themselves because they said
they could not or would not meet
the specifications, one of which was
that adjacent structures be not
damaged in erection of the new
bridge.
Thereafter several contractors
were invited into negotiations on
cost-plus arrangement. The Tomp-
kins Co. bid, while on this basis,
was a guaranteed maximum figure
with a percentage of any saving
accruing to the District.
