With Cary Grant, Jean Arthur and Ron- ald Colman starred in roles of rich, memor magnitude, the new film s triumphant example of a superb picture-making at its best In ducer-director “The Talk of the Town,” pro- George Stevens un- questionably rises to the highest point of an already distinguished career, a career studded with such superb films “Woman of the Year” and “Penny Serenade.” An il-over captivating charm per- meates the new film, adding em- phasis to the sharply-etched and brilliant performances, the lights and shadows and shifting of moods in the story itself, leavening even the dramatic moments of a motion picture which stresses love and laughter even as it captures with breath-taking realism the hard- hitting facts of life itself. It is unusual, in motion pictures, for three such stars as Grant, Miss Arthur and Colman to appear in a film which does not, in some measure, permit the overshadowing of one, or two. But the evenly bal- anced performances, the thought- ful blending and clash of person- alities, is splendid tribute to Stev- ens’ work as a director, and to the masterful script penned by Irwin Shaw and Sidney Buchman 'RECLASSIFICATIONS OF DRAFT BOARD RELEASED ] The Juneau Draft Board an- nounced today the following reclas- sifications: 1-A—Kenneth Allie Gonyea, Don- as Onsoien, James Theodore John George Tally 1-C—Francis Finney land Harold Edw Patrick Smith, Orme, Henry Davis (H), ard Mattson (H) 2-A—Charles Lemual Ebing, Wii- liam Herbert Dore, Albert Flesher, Thomas Sidney Parke, Merle Frank Rhodes 2-B—Ludwig Christian Bagge!

Examples are “Forced Land- | ing,” “Torpedo Boat,” “Power Dive,” “I Live on Danger,” “Wildcat,” “Wrecking Crew,” “Submarine Al- lert,” “High Explosive,” “Aerial Gunner,” and “Toxnado.” Thomas wanted to be sure no- body got the idea they were turn- ing out quickies just because they're turning them out quickly. | “They're good enough for the best houses, and they play there,” he .emphasized. “Also they have action enough for the small town and neighborhood houses, so they play there, too. “They play everywhere. more can we ask?” COURT PARTY LEAVES TONIGHT FOR KETCHIKAN | What The Court party will leave to-‘: night for Ketchikan, where court | term will be held during the next | two weeks.
