THE AMAZING NEW STARKE The First Major Movie Theatre Screen Improvement in 30 Years! WATCH FOR IT Scene from “PORTRAIT OF JENNIE" JENNIFER JONES . JOSEPH COTTON SHOWPLALE o %mmi CapiTdi BRAVES OF BOSTON IN CLIMB UP (By the Associated Press) The word “pennant” is back in the vocabulary of the good folks up Boston way today. They're not re- ferring to the Red Sox. But to Billy Southworth’s Braves. Billy the Kid’s third place war- riors are only two games out of first place. They have won 17 of their last 25 games, for a roaring .680 clip. Less than a month ago—June 14th to be exact—the Braves trailed the pack by six and one half games. The braves inched to within two games of the pace-setting Philadel- phia Phils yesterday as Vern Bick- ford turned in a brilliant 3-2, 13- inning victory over the New York Giants. Bickford limited the Giants to eight hits and only three walks and won out on some daring base run- ning by Sam Jethroe. The Phils were trounced, 7-3, by the Brooklyn Dodgers but main- tained their one game edge over St. Louis. The Cards dropped a 3-2 de- cision to the tail-end Pittsburgh Pirates. The pennant race in the Ameri- can League tightened up as the Cleveland Indians knocked off the league-leading Detroit Tigers twice, 6-2 and 5-2 before 54,299 fans in Detroit. The defeats cut the Tigers’ margin . over the runner-up New York Yankees to three games. The ‘Yanks tripped the Boston Red Sox, 3-1. St. Louis tied the Philadelphia Athletics for seventh place by beat- ing the Chicago White Sox, 4-2, while the A’s split a twin bill with the Washington Senators. The A's won the opener, 6-5, but lost the nightcap, 2-0. The Cincinnati Reds took two from the Chicago Cubs, 6-0 and 6-5. Ken Raffensberger shut out the Cubs on six hits in the opener.

Garnished with a flock of old and new song hits, among them the title song, “Meet Me Tonight in Dream- land,” “Put Your Arms Around Me, } Honey,” “Last Night When We Were Young,” “I Don't Care” and “Wait 'Til the Sun Shines, Nellie,” the story has Judy as an employee in the music store owned by Sakall. Romantic and lonely, she has inserted a newspaper advertisement inviting correspondence with an in- telligent young man. Unknown to her, Van Johnson, who has an- swered the ad, is head clerk in the store and is also completely in the dark as to the identity of his femi- nine correspondent.
