CLAUDETTTE COLBERT AND JAMES STEWART find few scenes as peaceful as this during "It's a. Wonderful 1 In which they will be seen Wednesday and Thursday at the Granada.

Abraham Lincoln has risen to new popularity the past year, having been the subject of Broadway's lead- Ing play the last season, and now he gets further attention from the dramatists in "Young Mr. Lincoln." This film, which deals with Lincoln's early life, before his. rise to political fame, will be at the Granada Sunday, Monday and Tuesday with Henry Fonda in the title role. The story deals particularly with Lincoln's love affairs and with his first big case in which he defended two young boys in the "moonlight murder case." Ann Rutledge nnd Mary Todd are portrayed by Pauline Moore and Marjorie Weaver. Richard Cromwell and Eddie Qulllan play the parts of Lincoln's first clients, and Alice Brady is their mother.

John Ford, director for several of Hollywood's best efforts, han- dlp-I the magaphone for "Young Mr. Lincoln." Claudette Colbert turns detective In manner slightly reminiscent of Grade Alien in the new film "It's a Wonderful World," playing Wednesday and Thursday nt the Granada. Miss Colbert is a poetess whose trip to speak to a club is interrupted by James Stewart, bodyguard and personal ndvlsor to the millionaire playboy, Ernest Truex. Stewart trails a man who has Interrupted Truex 1 fifth wedding, gets himself arrested and started for prison, and then escapes by Jumping out of the moving train into a stream, carrying with him the officer to whom lie was handcuffed. Miss Colbert happens to be sitting by the stream, and sees too much for Stewart to leave her there.

From then on Iti a mystery how Stewart and Miss Colbert could solve anything with their methods, but they manage to stop a nicely planned blackmail plan and other attempts on Truex. Guy Kib'beo, Nat Pendleton nnd Edgnr Kennedy are in the supporting cast, and Frances Drake is Truex latest love and the girl who has him framed.

Powell is a music teacher who takes his classic type composition to New York to sell it and finds it appearing shortly as a swing number. Going back to protest, he finds there's fun and money in the jivers craze and starts turning out the hottest tunes of the day.

Miss Sheridan is a night club singer who proves an inspiration, and Miss Page does not deter his music career. But it is the swing to swing made by his aunts, Miss Brodericfc and Miss Pitts, which caps the climax for Powell. Rosenbloom is the tired butler in the sisters' home. Tunes of the show are "Hooray for Spinach," "Corn Pickin'," "I Don't Believe in Signs" and "'I'm Happy About the Whole Thing."

'oo Many Ideas for landling a Baby BOBBIN COONS. you go In to atch a baby act, if you can get at all, you're supposed to check our ideas at the stage door.

This is true, I know, you reep- past the guard to study the moting of 7-mpnths-old Elbert 3opeland III, who is playing the ole of the baby thinks in "Little' is Ginger Rog- 1 child. This is true because Gnr- on Kanin, the director, has had his ill of ideas on "how to handle.a aby" etc. So, probably, has Master Elbert. f'S NOT HERS. In the picture Charles Coburn is he daddy of D'avid Niven, a rich ad in love with poor girl who has a baby which really isn't lers'in spite of what they all think.

Coburn wants -a grandchild, thinks has one already, and so wants 3avid' to marry Ginger. Today he las just met the infant Grandpas the world taken ilm on his knee for a heart-to- leart talk. Master Elbert, however, hasn't ead the script. He doesn't seem to a hoot for Grandpa. He doesn't em, to like his winter clothes.

A NEW UNE. seems to digest the assorted techniques of baby-quieting Sick of Oomph Ann Sheridan, if you want to know, is sick of "Oomph."

See "Young Lincoln," with its humor, action, 1 and drama. emotion, Henry Fonda gives one of the most outstanding characterizations of Lincoln, ever produced. The cast ably supports him throughout the film. The pastoral scenes, the natural beauty and the pioneer life of the early settlers of Illinois, are accurately depicted. Lincoln's wit, wisdom and human sympathy are expressed by Fonda with case and spontnnlety.

He looks like a Lincoln. Everyone should enjoy the pleasing social political activities, and admire the self-reliant and uncompromising spirit of the citizens of frontier life: shown in "Young Lincoln." The music and high lights fit the time and place. This picture depicts an important part in the background of Americanism. The Emporia Council for Better Films heartily endorses "Young Lincoln," and urges both youth and adults to see it. FANNIE a.
