The problems of adjustment
faced by a 31-year-old man who
has spent the last 10 years in pri-
son are explored with a fair de-
gree of success in Tomorrow Is
Another Day." at the Metropoli-
tan. The screenplay by Art Cohn
and Guy Endore is not marked by
any open departures from logic
and Director Felix Feist, not too
long graduated from short sub
jects. has given 1t some good
touches Of suspense.
The leading roles in Tomorrow
Is Another Day" are played by
Ruth Roman and Steve Cochran.
who are completely at home. cine
matically speaking of course. in
such sordid surroundings as these.
Miss Romans presence, come to
think of it, probably is as respon-
sible as anything else for main
tanning interest at a fairly alert
level here. She is quite a woman
and generates a sizable voltage of
electricity in the surrounding at
mosphere.
Certainly the story told is no
new one. though it does have q
novel touch here and there.
Cochran plays the young man just
released from prison, where he
was stashed away at the age Of
13, not so much for shooting his
father when the old man came
home drunk and socked his
mother as for refusing to admit
later that he was sorry. He. as
the warden tells him, has not
grown up with his generation. but
has merely taken on shelf age.
which, as any one knows, does
not contribute to maturity.
In his lonesome search for this
latter commodity he enters a
Broadway dance hall dnstinctively
taking the right track and en-
counters a hard-talking doll who
is really Miss Roman in a blond
wig. He does not recognize the
true inner beauty here which any
experienced movie goer knows
time and the writer's will reveal,
but he latches onto Miss Roman
anyhow.
This is one of those things
which must have seemed like a
good idea at the time, but before
Cochran knows quite what has
happened he is on the lam, with
Miss Roman by his side. A detec-
tive has been shot and he knows.
or thinks he knows, that the police
aren't going to believe any ex-con's
story about it being an accident.
Mr.. Feist has filed a suspenceful
account Of the following flight as
the ex-convict who wanted to
live right and the embittered
dance hall girl come to life and
grasp for o little happiness, with
the inevitable discovery lurking
always in their future.
The director even has gone so
far as to make his supporting
players take on the look of nor
NAL humans, even though their
Hollywood faces are familiar. a
trick not as widely employed as
it might be. He has. in fact. lifted
his melodrama above the routine
by keeping it singularly devoid Of
THEATRES. And it has Ruth Roman.

opened yesterday at the Warner, a
thin se-fitting narrative which
assumes that If q picture with that
many stars cannot get by on their
merits, there is nothing an au-
thor can do about it.
This is pretty canny thinking on
Klorer's part. He leaves it up to
such performers as James Cagney,

"Starlift" is a huge informal
musical affair which shows how
Hollywood's ever-ready entertain
ers do whatever they can to en-
tertain men Of the armed forces.
Its locale Is confined to the 400
mile stretch between Los Angeles
and San Francisco and although
this may suggest that California is
the most entertained State, it car
ries the implication that stars go
wherever the troops 60.
II it represents quite a pat on
the back for itself, as it does. this
may be due to the fact that on this
score Hollywood deserves quite a
pat on the back.
In the case of "Starlife" it spills
q gigantic cornucopia Of glamour.
music, dance and comedy upon the
service lads and If the quality is
not always spectacular, the guam
tity Is impressive.
4 II II
Nearly everyone in "Starlift"
plays a character called himself
or herself. This gives each a
chance to relax and simply do
whatever it is he or she does best.
Miss Day, for instance, is thus
presented with a number of op-
portunitise to throw back her
head and sing. mostly solos, but
one duet with MacRae.
She is rhythm's favorite freck-
led face handmaiden, of course,
and she makes the most of it in
such tunes as You're Gonna Lose
Your GAL" 'Swonderful," and
"You Do Something to Me-"
Much more surprising is Miss
Wyman's temperance as vocal
ist. She has been providing such
sturdy acting competition to Holly
woods great ladies in recent years
that many have forgotten she once
was a band singer and a star of
many musicals. "Starlift" pro-
vides pleasant reminder that she
was just fine at this sort of thing

The Milford Board of Edu-

cation to issue twenty thou
sand dollars ($20,OOO) in
school bonds will be held to-
morrow, Saturday, March 10,
between the hours of 1900

School building.
AT the same time, the Board
announced that taxes for the
coming fiscal year will be
lowered three cents per $10O

tion Of taxes is possible since
the interest on the 1871 bond
issue becomes less each year.
In regard to the Issuance
of the $4,000 bond issue, no
additional taxation will be
necessary: but It may be
necessary to extend the PERI
Cd Of taxation an additional

trict's population growth and
assessment values during the
twenty-year period.
The $4,000 in school bonds
to be issued by the Board
