It is a picture that everyone will under stand, because it concerns itself with plain people, and tells its story in an honest, direct and convincing manner.
 Starring James Dunn, who makes wonderful comeback, as the jovial singing waiter who is unemployed, Dorothy McGuire as the young wife, and Peggy Ann Gardner as their daughter; with an excellent supporting cast including Joan Blondell, Ted Donaldson, James Gleason. and Lloyd Nolan, "A Tree Grows In Brooklyn" is a picture that you will not soon forget.

 John Wayne is perfect in the role of Rocklin, dynamic but taciturn Woman-hating ranch foreman. Ella Raines is magnificently spirited as the high-tempered Arly, and Audrey Long, newcomer to Hollywood, shows dramatic promise as Clara.
 Others in the competent cast are George "Gabby" Hayes, Elisabeth Risdon, Ward Bond and Don Doug las.

jeans themselves, and the girls are buying out the shipments.
 The junior high girls will prob ably be suckers enough to fall for that line about the boys wanting them to look more feminine--for women always fall for it.
 They join right in with men in ridiculing women politicians, when the real reason that men find poli- tics not feminine enough a career for women is that they don't want their competition
 RIDICULE WOMEN
 Business women have - for the most part-let men talk them out ow wanting to get the top jobs in their field. Men make fun of women executives, and women say, T cer- tainly don't want to be considered a career woman.'
 And whenever men decide it is to their advantage to sell women on the idea that their place is in the home they find it is fairly simple matter to get the women stringing along with them.
 So don't blame the little junior high school girls if they stop wear ing jeans and leave that inexpen- sive, comfortable, and loved-by the young fashion to the boys.
 If they do, they'll just be start ing a lifetime of letting men talk them otu of anything the men don't want them to have with the old old line; Tt isn't keminine and men like feminine women"

We will not say anything about the aoptimistic bidding The open ing lead is won with the ace. The declarer has to ruff two clubs and a spade, so taking the diamond finesse is an unnecessary risk.
 A very fine player went down on this hand because he cashed the ace and king of diamonds, then the ace and king of clubs and ruffed a club. He was locked on the board SO he cashe dthe ace and small heart. East won with the king Of hearts and cashed the queen of dia- monds.
 The correct play. as soon as you win the ace of spades, is to lead small heart Now you later will be able to ruff heart to get out of dummy and thus make the con- tract.
