State Offers Fiaht Cinema The Great John
 Now PIoying

Now showing to capacity audi ences at Warmers Air Conditioned State is Bing Crosby's first success in picture producing The Great John l." This picture, as the title suggests; is the life story of one of Americas greatest heavyweights, John [. Sullivan. Greg Mcclure as Sullivan creates a lovable. roistering picture of the man he enacts. As the co-feature, "The Gay Senorita" starring Jinx Falkenburg is mu- sical treat packed with scintillating seroritas. gay costumes and rhyth- mic tunes.
 "A Medal For Benny" opens Sum- day at the State, and the motion picture public has the assurance of critics that this screen offering will rate acclaim from all. From those who have already been entertained by the simple. honey and human story written by John Steirbeck and Jack Wagner, come reports that its content and treatment bring out the same emotional quality so eloquent ly fostered in Going My Way" Perhaps 1t is due, in part, to Frank Buffers work in fashioning screen play for Benny" as he did for the Academy Award-winning picture. At any rate, the best materials at Paramount's command have gone into the production of this film, and it's said the reaping of rewards has since commenced. Arturo De Cor dova and Dorothy Lamour are the starring players. J. Carol Naish gets the coveted role as the father of Benny, a dead hero who receives the Congressional Medal of Honor. Performances by Frank McHugh, Charles Dingle and Douglas Dum brille are particularly outstanding.
 Starting Wednesday is that stir ring tribute to a gallant American Pride Of The Marines" Here is true story of a boy who brought bouquets to his girl in the days be- fore Pearl Harbor and who won one himself in the uniform of a United 0tdLSS 01dl ubCs 11CIcs 4kA O4lG u1OL4OA picture, is everything that makes our country great. Our pride in our heritage, our willingness to die if need be, for the rights we believe so deeply are ours, are captured in the story of Al Schmid. Pride Of The Marines" As Al Schmid, John Gar fields acting ability has been put to the test and he turns in a per- formance that is a shining tribute, both to MT. Garfield and to Al Schmid. Eleanor Parker as Ruth Hartley, 8 role that requires every emotion trick in the book, is super bly, handled by the young actress with deftness, complete understand ing and brilliant interpretation. Tn another starring role Warmers have cast their fair-haired boy of the past season, Dane Clark. Easily the most refreshing personality to hit movie screens in the past months, Dane Clark scores with deft job of true to character acting.
