of the last few years has been
translated into one of the most
memorable screen entertainments
of any year. Kings Row won
wide praise for its author, Henry
Bellamann. The screen version,
now showing at the goth Century
Theatre, adds new laurels to the
crowns of Sam Wood, who adapted
the novel for the screen, and the
many members of the matchless
cast who have brought Mr. Bella
mann's characters to vibrant life.
Ann Sheridan. Robert Cummings,
Ronald Reagan and Betty Field
play the four starring roles and each
has turned in a perfect perform
ance. In the featured cast, four of
Hollywood's most able character ac-
tors, Charles Coburn, Judith An
derson, Claude Rains and Maria
Ouspenskaya give portrayals so
finely etched that they are we'll
night unforgettable. Two compare
tive newcomers to the screen, Nancy
Coleman and Kaaren Verne show
brilliant promise.

attitude toward the postwar status
of small European States is set
forth in the government newspaper
1zvestia. 1t calls for a transition
period to give thse nations time to

strongly opposes any federation of
these countries against Russia.
The authoritative article discloses
the Soviet point of view as placed
before the recent conference of for
eign secretaries here that met no
objections from the United States
and Great Britain.
The Izvestia listed three points
in opposing immediate considera-
ton to unions of small nations after
the war:
l. Governments in exile, lacking
close bonds with their nations, can
not guarantee and they cannot ex-
press the will of their people.
2. New governments established
Immediately after liberation of oc-
cupied countries will not be stable
or authoritative enough to decide on
federation
3. Only after the postwar situa-
ton becomes stable will small coun-
tries acquire confidence in their in
