POLI'S

Currently playing at the Loew- Poli theater is 'The Valley of De- cision''. Marcia Davenport's best selling novel, has reached the screen as an outstanding motion picture. Produced by MGM as one of the companys top pictures of the sea- son, 'The Valley of Decision" CO., stars a romantic new team in Greer Carson and Gregory Peck. And supporting these two is a really sterling cast of performers, includ- ing Lionel Barrymore, Donald Crisp Preston Foster, Marsha Hunt, Gladys Cooper and Dan Duryea, among others.
 It is tempestuous romance which provides solid story, superb acting and entertainment in blend that will mean happy movie hours for everyone. It finds Miss Carson, surpassing her work as Mrs. Miniver and Mrs. Parkington, portraying the servant girl Mary Rafferty who comes to work in the big Scott man. sion in Pittsburgh in the 187O's AA4AA 4CAAAdAA4 OO 4Q1l III 4OfC Hlull dul Scott the son in whom the elder Scott places his faith, and hope Tor the future of the family and the steel mill they founded.
 The story of their love and of the barriers between them is often touching and always real. Mary's conflicts with the spoiled Scott sons and daughters and with her own Scott-hating father are among the factors which make for one of the most gripping entertainments in many months.
 Gregory Peck, sensational screen newcomer, plays the romantic role of Paul Scott. MGM felt that the Paul Scott role was tailored for Peck, tall, black-haired stage find who is currently playing opposite 1ngrid Bergman in "Spellbound."
 Lionel Barrymore, whose reperto- ire of motion pictures parts is one of the most varied and distinguish d in Hollywood, plays aPt Roffer- sy, Mary's father, in one of the out ttanding roles of his long career. Donald Crisp, redoubtable portray sr of countless hit characterizations plays Paul's father, William Scott, Pittsburgh steel manufacturer.
 The picture has been excellently directed and produced. Put "The Valley of Decision" at the top of your movie-shoping list. because it lt one picture everybody will enjoy seeing, and the surrounding pro- gram of selected shorts will surely a4 out an enjoyable evenings en- tertainment.
