STATE

Today is a great day in Ae en- tertainment history of Warmers State theater. For today there ap- peared for the first time on the State screen the startling story of Kings Row., every thrill of its strange story, each whispered long, ing Of these people who lived in the shadows vividly, unforget- tably captured by the camera.
 Adapted from the Henry Bella mann novel and boasting one of the most distinguished casts ever assembled in one motion picture, Kings Row" presents such favor ties as Ann Sheridan, Robert Gum mtngs, Ronald Reagan and Betty Field in the leading roles.
 The apparently humdrum small city of the American midlands, wherein all human passions and preJudices are encompassed in small space, has not often been used by the novelists or the movie makers as the locale for their product.
 Kings Row" dared to be differ ent. It represents frank ummask- ing of such a town, with the re- sultant high drama and the com- cry, pathos and excitement that al- ways are to be found there.
 This is the story of young people, struggling to And their happiness against the opposition of circum- stance and misunderstanding. The honlyurOIYnd Af }aa ctAr,, 1s 4la1 seething undercurrent of small city life, the petty jealousies, the pa- thetic struggle for survival, the clash of ideals and ideals between individuals and generations.
 Critics from coast to coast have acclaimed the new offering with such raves as "a sure bet for the 10 best of 1942," says Louis Sobel, syndicated columnist; plainly too good for the 10 best of 1942," says Russell Maloney of the New York Magazine; and a popular magazine has acclaimed it "the picture of the month"
 Tn addition to the above men, toned stars the talented cast in- cludes such favorites as Charles Co., burn, Judith Anderson, Claude Rains and Harry Davenport.
 Tramp, Tramp, Tramp, Zany comedy about two rejectees who started their own army, is the sec- ond big hit of the program. Jackie Gleason, Jack Durant, Florence Rice and Bruce Bennett play the leading roles.

those looking for . play to receive the Pulitzer acclaim look back blt farther than the beginning of tho present season last fall. back to April l, to be exact, when Lillian Hellman's watch on the RhineH opened a highly successful run. Tho play just recently wound up bus- mess here and now Is doing excel- lently on the road.
 The drama about the fight against Nazism, the best Of It's type to date, would appear to have all of the qualities demanded of Pulitzer play and the time element Is not against 1t, If you will consider the facts. It would still be eligible be- cause its April 1 premiere last year came too late for 1t to be consid@ cred for the 1941 prize. And remena- Der that the 1941 winner, Robert D. Sherwoods 'There Shall Be NO Night" another pre- democratic document, made It's debut here April 29, 1940. When the Pulitzer com mittee came up with that one last spring there was an astonished per- son for every light on Broadway.
 Incidentally, IF watch on the Rhine" should get the Pulitzer nod this year it would have the unique distinction of winning the two tcD drama prizes in different years. The Drama Critics Circles 194l award went to this play because, although the Circle announces its winner M few days before the Pulitzer coms mittee, it considers anything pro- duced up to the time the members start voting.
 THE Summer Stock Managera A Association is going into q two- day huddle here April IS in an ef@ fort to guess what is or is not going to happen to the countryside drama during this coming summer of de~ teriorating automobile tires, gaso- line rationing and such things tending to discourage gallivanting around by tourists and others.
 It seems to be definite that majority of the established abarn theaters" will begin the season, but where they go from there is in the lap of the war god. Between 75 ana 100 managers from all over tlaa country are expected to attend this first convention of its kind. There probably will be a lot of talk about trying to get bus service or other communal transportation to service the wayside stages.

Taken into the army's huge quartermaster supply system, the egg finds its way to the Philip pines, where 1t eventually becomes 8 special good luck token.

Newfoundland Flonors Memory of Grenfell

CLOSELY allied with the deveI-
 - opment of Labrador and New foundland, the name of Sir Wilfred
 T Grenfell is known to every
 sailor, hunter, trapper and school
 boy of those rugged northern coasts.
 The stamp above, issued in l94l, a year after Sir Wilfred's death, pictures the physician on the steamship Strathcol.a II lock- ing across the water at his hos pital ship Maraval.
 Sir Wilfred was born in Eng land in 1865. He graduated at Ox- ford and studied medicine at the London hospital, l, Whitechapel. After his studies were completed he devoted himself to reform work among the sailors of the North Sea, establishing homes on land and mission vessels at sea. In 1892 Sir Wilfred went to Labrador to continue his work. He erected hospitals, cooperative stores, factories, an orphans home, and school. He extended his efforts to Newfoundland and in 1912 opened a seamen's institute
 at Saint Johns.
 A doctor in a land where doc tors were scarce, Grenfell soon achieved wide fame, He laid great
 stress on improving the physical,
 social, and economic conditions of
 the seamen of the coast.
