"The show came to Los Angeles
in 1941," Gregory tells me, "hut no
one was interested in me for pic
lures. Previously, had made test
for David Selznick, but that was so
bad! / was not disappointed, as I
wanted to remain in the theater."

Then came the flop plays, one
with Martha Scott in "The Willow
and T." and with Geraldine Fitz-
gerald in Sons and Soldiers" The
plays were panned, but Gregory was
praised by the critics. And Writer
Casey Robinson, who was going in
for producing on his own. signed
him for the lead with Toumanoya
in days Of Glory" The picture
was released by RKO, and that's
how Greg signed with RKC. For
two pictures in four years.
Daryl Zanuck had seen me in
Sons and Soldiers Peck resumed,
and when he asked my agent if I'd
like to play the lead in The Keys of
the Kingdom he didn't say yes, but
called me to ask would ! do 1t. I
told him that was a foolish ques-
tion." And that's how Goth Century
Fox has Gregory for one picture

When Metro offered Greg the lead
with Greer Carson in Valley of

make three pictures for them in five

Gregory now is starring with Jen-

funny"
Before Peck came to Hollywood,
he says he had funny impression
of the place. II thought of movies
as canned entertainment. was not
a moviegoer, nor movie fan. But
now I'm convinced the making of
pictures requires 10 times as much
intelligence as the putting on of a

From the searching mind and the

dramatist, it inherited a lyrical
poem which it has animated and
mounted with skill that has re-
tanned spiritual beauty and dra-
matte effectiveness that are alto
gethef satisfying as an experience
In the theater. THE Tidings Brought
TO Mary" Is more of a song than a
play, but as narrative of good and
evil, of love and hate, it Is of the
very fiber of life and well worth the
attention of every theatergoer whose
attention is worth having except
from the strictly box-ofice stand.
point. M. Claudel was no author to
let his audiences off without an ar
gument, but for their attention he
rewards them with a passionately
eloquent and moving verse play.
Catholic University's production has
brilliantly bulwarked him in every
delicate aspect of his thinking and
its musical expression.
THE Tidings Brought to Mary"
which the Theater Guild produced
in 1922, is no stuffily CLASSICAL work
for all its symbolic title and its care
fully cadenced writing. It's scene is
feudal France in the Middle Ages,
its people subject to the emotions
which activate humans now as well
as then. It's story is primarily that
of an unsettled, beautiful girl, Vio-
laine, in relation to the good and evil
rampant in the primitive society in
which she lives. Its pertinence is by
no means limited to its time or place
and the current production is aimed
toward the demonstration of that
arresting truth. M. Claudel, indeed,
has been done a distinct service in
being brought to the attention of an
other generation OF playgoers as an

Mr.. Moncure said letters have
been sent to voters in all sections

qualified.
Under Army regulations, Mr.
Moncure said, Col. Fenwick can
accept the nomination and serve if

rely upon his friends to make the
