deHavilland in film here
All Next Week

A film with warm, human story
starring James Cagney and Olivia
deHavilland called THE Strawberry
Blonde" will make it's local debut
at the Maryland next week.
Cagney is cast as a simple fell
low who doesn't go around sock
ing people lin fact, he finds out
what it means to be on the re-
ceiving end of right hook for
change), who doesn't bowl over the
girl with his glib charm and who
doesn't want to blast his way to

like to do is become a darn good
dentist. 1t is different Cagney-
a new Cagney-a Cagney that will
win millions of new admirers.

Rita Hayworth are the two women
in Cagney's uncomplicated life
Chat is uncomplicated until they
come into it). He falls in love with
Rita but marries Olivia on the re-

after all because Rita turns out to
be a querulous, complaining wife,
who makes life miserable for her
husband despite his wealth.
The story is told in flashback
style, starting one afternoon when
Carson walks into Cagney's office
to have his tooth extracted and
while he is under the effects of the
gas, the tale takes us back several
years to the time when Cagney was
all ambition and two-seater bicy-
cles were all the rage.

be accomplished by simple opera
