DRAMATIC LIFE OF
LOU GEHRIG RELIVED.

An inspiration TO Americans every
where and great dramatic real-life
story are combined in THE Pride Of
the Yankees" which comes to the
State Theatre this weekend.
In it Gary Cooper stars as Lou
| Gehrig
This is by no means just a baseball
storyl The national game is merely
the canvas across which is painted the
vivid, memorable tale of a mans
career. That the man is the late IA
nous and beloved Lou Gehrig, star Of
! the New York Americans.
In the compelling story of the jan
! itor's son who rose to become one Of
the most popular figures in modern
sport there is plenty of raw drama,
and pathoS, and warm, heartening
romance. There is laughter, too, and
action, and a parade of noted ball
players. Some, like Christy Matthew
son and Roger Bresnahan, are i'm
personated by actors; some, like Bake
Ruth and Gehrig's pal, Bill Dickey,
and Bob Meusel, portray themselves.
There is a humanneSS and sympathy
about the film that makes it not only
a great picture, but one worthy Of the
talents of its star-the star who re-
Gently brought to the screen another
great American, Sergeant York.
/ Gehrig's romance with the Chicago
girl who first laughed at him, then
married him, and who stood by Loyalty

offering: and Teresa Wright does a

Then there are william Rowe, guard,
