GOING MY WAY
 CROSBY CLASSIC
State Theater Presents Formidable Academy
 Award Contender

Nary a single person ever sus-
 pected that Bling Crosby. as a man of the cloth, could give a heart. warming performance. Prom all re. ports, though. Blng's characteriza. ton as a priest in paramount's "Qo- ing My Way" brings him into the limelight for top Academy Award laurels.
 A major share of the credit must 50 to Leo McCarey for his delicate direction Of this great motion pic. ture which opens Wed. at the state Theater. His understanding of hu. man elements blessed the produe. ton with goodness from the very start. Preview audiences marveled at the tempo and pacing Of Going My Way" and humbly paid their respects with salvos of applause to the actors who made scene after scene so life.like.
 Hollywood Is ready to admit right now, after observing Barry Fritz- gerald as Father Fitzgibbon that it will be a long, long time before any actor ecllpses the veterans performance. He holds audiences spell-bound. reporters say. whether he's seen in company with Bing, Prank McEiueh Father ODowd), Rise Stevens. Gene Lockhart or James Brown. The shining char. acters portrayed by all the players, in fact, are all such warm and hu. man figures as to make the entire cast grateful for the opportunity to play them on the screen.
 The story is the simple saga Of a young priest dispatched to a small parish to take charge of activities and establish it on a sound iinan. cial basis. Bing. as Father Chuck" O'Malley. finds it difficult at first to put any Of his measures into practice. Rather, he poses as as. sissant to Fitzgerald and unobtru- sively injects his methods without drawing the suspicion of the lovable Father. Eelf-efiacing, Bing takes orders. cajoles Fitzgerald. bows to the older mans whiFns but still manages to organize such an un. heard-of thing as a boys choir, settle a lovers quarrel. placate the bank president who holds the par. ish mortgage and sell a song to raise money for a new building.
