AT the impeachment trial later a
spectator shouts from the Senate
gallery that Andrew Johnson is a

President Lincoln wrote in the
letter about the inadvisability of
taking stimulants on an empty
stomach, which johnson read at
the impeachment trial. Historians
say that the incident was magnified
and distorted by the Presidents enc

The picture departs from histor-

President remained at the White
House while the Senate was decid-
ing MS fate. Despite this scenarist
license, Tennessee johnson" rates
as one of Hollywood's finest his

will have some 200 theaters under
his wing before 1s43 blows the fare
well whistle, has analyzed the results
to guide his film buying. On the
basis Of 1912 receipts the best recipe
for serving the soldier film appetite
is: l. Lively musicals with plenty
OF girls. 2. Service films with plenty
OF action. 8. Good comedies. 4.
Dramatic stories backed by star
