AT 20TH CENTURY| T | “Lost Boundaries,” produced by | that master of screen realism, Louls De Rochemont, comes to the 20th | three day run. | The story is a different one than usually appears in a film produc- tion. This is based on W. L. White's factual story of a Negro family who “passed” as white for 20 years. The leading roles are played by Beatrice Pearson and Mel Ferrer, | both well known and popular movie stars. “Lost Boundaries” has intregity. It is a straightforward picture from beginning to end; and it presents a current and vastly disturbing prob- dem of race relationship and does it honestly and with refreshing sim- plicity. It deals with a Negro doc- tor and his family who successfully ‘“passed” as whites for 20 years. The picture will make a real con- tribution toward easing the tension that exists between white and Negro people in our American democracy. ‘To have had a part in it is a priv- ilege. | COMELY BRUNETTE | OPENS REPERTOIRE | AT COUNTRY CLUB Virginia Mathews, a tall. and) comely brunette, opens tonight at] the Country Club on the Glacier Highway to entertain guests at the popular night, spot with a reper- toire of song as she accompanies herself on Lhe piano.
