By PATRICIA SIMMONS.


Long, long ago Thomas Moore
started something when he put his
literary longings for an ideal COM
munity into book entitled utopia.
Since then countless moralists and
social reformers have tried to do
something about it through the
mediam Of literature, music and the
theater.
They Came to City," a fairly
engrossing approach to the subject,
opened yesterday at the Hippo
drome. Based on play by J. B.
Priestley and produced by Michael
Balloon, the British made film COM
bines a moral sallegory with a plea
for a better world where social and
economic equality blend into kind
OF perfect state. The city itself,
never pictured on the screen, but
described through the conversation
of people who visit it, is certainly
not unlike Mr.. Moore's Utopia.
It's place where exploitation of
the little man by big business is con-
sidered crime, where healthy look
ing mothers and children perpetual
ly smile, where people work because
they have something to work for,
and where charities are not neces-
sary. In fact, everything is pretty
much happiness and continual
plenty.
Il X X
To the outskirts of this Utopia OF
paradise, however you wish to in
terpret it, come handful of people
a representative cross section OF
English society of the year l945
There is the we'll meaning, kind
hearted charwoman; the Capitalist
thinking only of his next business
deal; a selfish, domineering wife
who can't bear to see others happy
because she has failed to find the
secret herself; an aristocratic lady
accustomed to being treated as such
a cynical disillusioned member OF
the laboring class and a pretty young
waitress, hopeful that there is some
thing better in store for her, some
where, some place.
Reaction of these various pro-
ducts of society to "the city, con-
stitutes the dominate theme of the
picture. The Saroyan-like setting

way, will not have the same effect
on the picture adaptation of the
same play. The latter will appear
on the screen of the Caitol Theater
on May "a, next Thursday, accord
ing to the advices of this depart
ment. Which advices go on to say:
THE members of the cast of To
morrow, the World have collec-
lively garnered enough medals and
plaques to put the collection of any
high-ranking Nazi officer to shame u
Chief among those who have done
SO is Skippy Homeier, the 12-year-
old Nazi brat who gives the same
kind of repulsive, but effective, per-
formance that he did during the
Broadway run of the play.
Even the critics who doubted the
merits of the play as originally Of
fered on Broadway had no doubt
as to the youngsters performance
He, incidentally, will stay in Hol-
lywood, now that he has repeated
his imitation of a Nazi child in
the picture
Why should he not?
The other principal performers
are Betty Field and Fredric March
Since making the picture, the
latter has been engaged upon "A
Bell for Adano" in New York.

Before they have chance to dc
their Broadway chores, of which
you may have heard, two Hollywood
players who are booked for over
seas assignments are Spencer Tracy
and Katharine Hepburn.
1t could be, of course, that the
proper cinema roles will keep them
on the West Coast when they return
from their overseas iournies.

Woodward Papers
Tell Bizarre Story
|0f Love for Mother

Diaries, letters, receipts from a
trip to Europe many years ago, and
documents including a purported
copy of a will of Mrs. Mary Eva
Woodward, found in her home at
3405 Holmead place NV, threw
new light on the bizarre story OF
love for her mother which has been
unfolding since Mrs. Woodward s
death on April Is.
Samuel M. Greenbaum, named
collector of the estate of the elderly
woman who kept the mumified body
of her mother, Mrs. Elizabeth w
Woodward, in her home for more
than 30 years, revealed the results
of a search of the house when he
filed with the register of wills at
District Court purported original
copy of will written in longhand
and found among Mrs. Mary Wood
wards papers.
Mrs Woodward apparently was
an inveterate collector and saved
souvenirs of her travels in Europe
post cards, receipts and similar
trivia in trunks, carefully tied with
string and filed according to dates
Details in Diaries.
In one of the diaries of the veal
of Mrs. Woodward's mothers death
Mr.. Greenbaum said, were entries
revealing her love for her mother
On March 13, 1918, the day hel
mother died, she wrote: Her strug.
gle for life was heroic. Her express
sion showed how moYed she was
when I talked of parting"
An entry July 7 read: my pre-
cious mother was put down in the
receiving vault week ago last eve
ming heard her call five times
IN my Sleep" On August % she
whote she left Pittsburgh with my
precious mothers body" There was
no mention of taking the casket to
Mrs. Woodward's home, where it had
been kept in a back room for more
than 80 years, but many of the dia-
rieS bore notations of dreams about
her mother. On December 8, 1918,
she wrote:
Il dreamed of my mother last
night. I thought her lips were un-
sealed and she opened her eyes
again and smiled and kissed me
three times"
Foreshadows New Moves.
The finding of the purported orig
inal copy of the will was expected to
cause new legal developments in
handling Mrs. Woodward's estate.
Mr.. Greenbaum was named COL
lector by Justice Matthew F. Nc
Guire of District Court as a dis
interested person" Mr.. Green
baum's appointment followed con-
troversy in court between attorneys
for Isaac r. Hit, former Police
Court judge, who had asked the
court to name him executor, and
Mrs. Anna Holtz of Cambridge
Mass, who wanted to be named COL
lector. Mrs. HoltZ claimed to be next
of kin.
The will found contains the same
wording as that contained in an al
legged typed carbon copy filed in
April. 1t names Mr.. Hit executor.
The new purported will authorizes
the sale of Mrs. Woodwards home
at the Holmead place address to pro-
vide funds for establishing a mauso.

Communists in China

Soviet Observer Saws
BY the Associated Press.

MOSCOW, Aug. 31.-Red Stars
international observer, K. Hoffman
asserted today that the Communist
party in China enjoys the support
of wide masses and the future de-
velopment of China and the up
holding of internal peace depends
upon cola boration" between that
party and Generalissimo Chang
Kal-Shek'S Kuomintang.
Hoffman said the Communist
party had achieved important sue
ceSses during the war in mobiliza-
ton of the Chinese people and in
creating new form of democratic
life in China despite the difficulties
of the struggle with Japan.
Beside this comment by Red Star
on the Communist negotiations with
Chang in Chungking, the Soviet
press printed conspicuously a Tass
dispatch from the Chinese provi-
Sionai capital which outlined Com
muniSt demands in the negotiations
Meanwhile, Premier Stain and
Generallsslmo Chang exchanged
messages of greeting in connection
with the ratification of the new
Soviet-ChineSe treaty by both ma

Chang expressed the conviction
that the new treaty would engender
