 AT 10TH CENTURY

Hailed as one of the best films of the year, 20th Century -Fox's film zation of Nevil Shute's great novel, The Pied Piper" is due to begin a four-day engagement tonight at the 20th Century. Monty Woolley, Roddy McDowall and Anne Baxter are featured in the enthralling story of the Englishman who led band of helpless children across embattled France to England and safety.
 The novel. which first appeared serially in Golfers magazine and later in condensed form in Read CTS Digest has won the highest kind of praise from the book review CTS, And the film is said to have faithfully reproduced all the original warmth, tenderness and humor of the book, while adding few touches only the screen can give.

Starting in the South of France as the gigantic German attack was launched in the tragic month of June, l940, the Eng lishman manages to make his halt ing way home, shepherding his struggling group of youngsters right under the very nose of the dreaded Gestapo.

From D. C.. Sent
Men Overseas

In new back to-the- soil" move
ment, District USO clubs are send
ing boxes of this city's earth to serv-
icemen who have gone overseas.
While the District soil itself is
the real reason for sending the boxes
to homesick Washington boys, each
package contains, at the request of
commanding officers of certain
overseas units, half-pound box OF
District earth, posters, placards, ad-
vertising cards and calendars with
hometown data on them
The requests also ask for theatel
and concert programs and ticket
stubs, copies of Washington news
papers and magazines and replica
of the Presidents famous cigarette
holder
The idea began when a Texas
family decided that a touch OF
home-State soil would do more fol
their homesick son than the usual
run of packages and sent him box
Since then servicemen from every
State and the District have been
asking for some soil from their
home town.
