Robinson and Burt Lancaster, and now at the Capitol Theatre. Producer Chester Erskine picked the community af- iter studying many towns to find one that would match in architec- ture, streets, and atmosphere the ismall Ohio city descriced in the New York Critics’ Circle prize play. One of the principal sites used at Santa Rosa was a backyard, with its surrounding houses. This setting was the chief one in the play. Oth- er scengs were made on beautitul magnolia-lined McDonald Avenue. ‘The presentation of “All My Sons” portrays with dynamic simplicity the post-war story of how money proved stronger than patriotism to one man with the result that a number of air men lost their lives, including his own son, his partner went to prison and later his own life was forfeited.

Her work in a long series of Hollywood produc- tions has won her a place of dis- tinction in motion picture annals. However, in “Portrait of Maria,” {a drama filmed in Mexico and now being released by MGM, Miss del Rio essays a role radically different from any she has ever attempted that of an Indian girl s new characterization the noted Mexican star makes an akrupt and striking departure from her familiar portrayals of aristo- cratic heroines. Gone are the glam- Lackgrounds of wealth and sophisti- cation. Instead, the versatile Miss del Rio offers the stirring portrait of a simpie, frail Indian girl, bur- dened from birth with a tragic weight of poverty. e Mrs. Tom Pefrich Leaveson6-Week Visit fo States Mrs. Tom Peurici ieft on Friday's southbound P.A.A. flight, plannlng a six-week trip to the Pacific North- west and California.
