STRAND

4. J. Cronin's story Of Robert Shannon. the little Irish boy whose fictional growth from childhood to manhood became a top item on the best-seller lists. now at the Strand screen in MGM's film version of The Green Years"
 The adaptation is faithful one All the tenderness, quiet humor and human qualities with which the au- thor pervaded his portrait of a shy Irish yOungSter thrown into alien surroundings, finding himself the butt between warning members of a eccentric family, nodded by the tragedies and comedies of adoles- Cense, have been retained in the story's translation into camera me dium and the result is a moving and heart-warming experience.
 As in the book, the narrative be- gins with Roberts adoption by the narroW-minded and penny pinching Papa Leckie and the feud between domineering Grandma Leckie and the boys irascible great-grandfather over which is to guide his schooling, religious training and preparation for a career. It then traces his green years, into manhood, with emphasis on such episodes as the torment of imitation into his first classroom, his puppy-love adoration Of pretty little Alison Keith, his graduation from the academy and the tragedy of his failure to com pIete the examination for a univer- slty scholarship. The story is brought to a close, with the death of Grand pa Cow and the final realization of his grandson's aim to become an educated man.
 The Cronin characterizations are brought to life by a superlatively fine cast. Charles Coburn takes first honorS with his portrait of the lustv. lovable Grandpa Cow, and is closely seconded by Tom Drake in the role or Robert as young man. Beverly Tyler IS perfectly cast as the sev- enteen-year-old Alison Keith. The roles of the respective boy and girl as youngsters are ably filled by Dean Stockwell and Eilene Jansen, and others who stand out include Hume Cronin as Papa Leckie, Gladys Cooper as the indomitable Grand ma. Selena Royle as Mama Leckie and Jesslca Tandy as Kate.
 The companion feature is Fred die Steps Out, with June Presser and the Teen Ayers.

ROSE BOWL I5 T0HANG UPON RUN PASS
Gilmer IannehiII Duel Seen as Pivot for 0ut-
 come Pasadena Classic
By BILL BECKER

PASADENA, CallI., Jan. 1.-Harry (The Arm) Gilmer's passing vs. the rugged running of Ted Tannehill
 That was the way the expert opin- ion boiled down for today's Rose Bowl grid classic between undefeat- ed. united Alabama and the Univer- Sity of Southern California Trojans, Pacific Coast Conference champions, before probable crowd of 93,o00.
 Ire question was whether Gilmer, top collegiate passer of 1945, could throw more touchdowns than Tro- jan Tannehill could run. The ma7 jority of experts thought the Arm would prevail, although generally there was comedown from the feel ing Alabama was 13 points better.
 The broken jaw of Lowell Few, the Crimson Tides best running back, and the powerful impression made in the past week by uses big 203- pound average line whittled the consensus margin to 'Bama, but, as Amos Alonzo Stagg, College of the Pacifics dean of football coaches re- marked yesterday, Jeff Cravath (Trojan coach) has great psy- chological advantage"
 The Trojans won all eight of their previous Rose Bowl games, while Alabama boaster the best record Of any Eastern representative-three wins. one loss, one tie. Cravath also was aiming to become the first Rose Bowl coach to win three straight games His teams defeated Wash ington, 29-0 in 1944, and Tennessee, 25-0, last year.
 The Tides coach, canny Frank Thomas, winningest mentor in col legiate football, hoped speed and Gilmer's tossing-which yielded 905 yards and 13 touchdowns this season would overcome uses eight-pound weight advantage. Trojan starters average 193 to 'Bamas 1855.

 BUT ORDERLY TOO

Check-up this New Years morn ing of the guest list at the City Jail revealed that, though local cele- brants of the advent of 1946 were out in numbers last night and their mo- lid-on enthusiasm or hilarity, still this was an orderly community as the old year faded.
 Police reported amusement places damned but a noticeable lack of violence Officers were not too hard pressed as they went about seeing that things didn't go out of bounds
 Revelers filled the whole down. town area from South Franklin up to the Baranof. with merry din and chatter, but did not wind up by fill ing the jail. As the o'clock clos ing hour settled on Juneau night spots, it was Douglas turn to be- come filled up - and it was.

Ration Scarce Items
Ollie Pecord, managing editor
Of the UNION JOURNAL who
introduced the resolutions, ex-
pressed the belief that return
to wartime rationing was not
necessary.
However, fair distribution of
essential living commodities
must be assured. If its neces-
sary to ration such scarce items
as butter, bread and meats to
give everyone fair share,
then such rationing should be
Instituted" said Mr.. Pecord.
Melvin Schultz, Local IL pre-
sident who presided over the
meeting said that consumers
groups, labor and civic organi-
cations would be welcome to
join the protest move. He called
for regulations to prevent hoard
ing so that return to normal
way of living would be possible.

few days will be important ones
