TUESDAY, MARCH 13, 1951 LEAVES TONIGHT! It's a Wonderful Cure for the Blues! exciting story of today’s lcatur(- at 8:00—10: Plus—TOM & JERRY Tomorrow Comes THE BRAVE PICTURE No Sad Songs For Me As fellow players in an industry of which we are proud, and to which we devote our talents and our | efforts, we would like to make public our applause of the brave and tender story of NO SAD SONGS FOR ME and Margaret Sullavan for her amazing exposition of a woman's mnner glory We are proud too of PINKY. ALl THE KING'S MEN. ) SNAKE PIT, GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT and certain other motion pictures, which like NO 51D SONGS FOR ME, dealt with unusual subject matter. This 1s a story of courage and people . . . not spe- cial people, but ordinary every-day people . . . with a background of an average middle-sized town. Mary Scott is one of these people, a woman of courage . . of great courage and spirit. There are . They | thousands and thousands of Mary Scotts. . live n smail hamlets and big cities. Life gives them the same benefits and the same penalties . . . and the same sacrifices. But in telling the story of this particular Mary Scott and her great love for her husband and child, there is as well within the confines of a screenplay, a ‘ ‘ 1 ‘ i theme that is as wide as all humanity in its appeal . . . something that has gained momentum in newspaper headlines everywhere and will continue to hold the interest of the entire world until the eventual hoped- for day of solution. The consequences of this forthright presentation of NO $AD SONGS FOR ME will echo and re-echo. FLirar y Robrara COWARD G.
