Cornel Wilde as the young author plays with refreshing wbolesomeness and a sincerity that always carries conviction. Jeanne Grain as the girl who falls in love with her brother-in-law, and hastens the climactic tragedy, is both attractive and capable in the larger sense.

Cornel Wilde, leads straight to tragedy, not once but repeatedly. There is the failure to rescue her crippled and drowning brother-in-law, a deliberate fall that kills her unborn child, and her own death under carefully planned conditions that turn circumstantial evidence of murder against a younger half-sister, who barely escapes a death sentence.

Small of the Civilian Production Administration, is to get local material companies going full blast.

The most direct way to stimulate building, he says, is to stimulate the supply of materials. THERE ARE thousands of small brickyards, cement plants, lumber mills, sewer and tile plants, and similar establishments which are not working to capacity," Small declared. "Many are not working at all. "In Rome Instances the owner, who shut down his plant when he went to war, has not yet returned. In some the owner died and the heirs haven't found a successor.

Managers have left. Plants have gone broke and need refinancing. "It is a community job to survey its building material plants, and correct these cases. It is a job which a mayor could do, or a Chamber of Commerce. THE OBJECTIVE would be to find plants not in capacity production, and remove the causes." Wilaon W.

Wyatti the President's housing expediter, will do this kind of work on a national scale, bat Small thinks the most effective work could be done at the local level. Statistics show that the country formerly produced a great deal more building materials than manufacturers, plan to turn out next year. The capacity exists. But it has been unused for so many years, Small declares, that getting plants back tr work will be more of a job of reconstruction than reconversion. Negroes Plan Centers for Job Training ATLANTA (P) A Negro training center whose aim is to turn out better cooks, maids and laundresses will be opened here within the next few months, the forerunner of proposed similar centers in other cities.

The center is sponsored by a group of Atlanta Negroes, one of whom already has been asked by Negroes in Washington and Kansas City to open centers there. THE CENTER will reach approximately 15 classifications of employees in the lower-wage brackets yard men, laundresses, maids, cooks and others. As one of the leaders of the movement explained its purpose: "Our people want a fair day's pay for a full day's work. We have been half-paid, it's true, but we've been half-trained or not trained at all. We want to make every Job a good job." Those are the words of Mrs.

Ruby Blackburn, an employee of the Atlanta Board of Education for 17 years. HERSELF A maid during that time, Mrs. Blackburn says the majority of the organization's sponsors come from the working class. The center will offer all phases of domestic training. A full-time laundry will be erected; a small curb market opened, "with a stall for the old Negro who may have nothing but a few walnuts to a scientific kitchen operated for training and practical purposes they'll do catering, too.

Fairbanks Takes Lead in 'Sinbad' HOLLYWOOD After an absence from Hollywood for five years Douglas Fairbanks, returns to play the title role In "The Strange Adventures of Sin-bad." He will share stellar honors with Maureen O'Hara and Walter Slezak. Luba Malina, star of the recent Broadway musical. "Marinka," makes her screen debut with Fairbanks.

Straight from the Heart Then came a contribution from Natalie Brenner. "I can ill afford this," she said, "but if it gives pleasure to one of the boys who fought so courageously I'll have even greater pleasure knowing I've made one boy happy." Other contributions poured in. Getting the money was easy. Getting the tickets presented the real problem. So I appealed directly to officials of the Roe Bowl game.

They admitted that the GIs should see this Tournament of Roses. They arranged things. Yes, it's Hollywood and Great er Los Angeles the year through. But on New Year's Day these two take a back seat. With people all over America hanging on their radios to listen to the goings-on, Pasadena has the spotlight My only regret is that more GIs can't see the game.

Those men were in on the 'death march' of Bataan, and they're convalescing a the Birmingham Hospital here. The results I Hopper have been won derful Van Johnson called to say his check for $103 already was in the mail. That paid for 20 tickets. A La Jolla woman sent the next donation.

She wrote: "My only brother is a patient in a military hospital, and I want to send 10 of those boys 'Icewomen' Help on Ithaca Route ITHACA, N. Y. (U.R) Mrs. Cl2'de Chilson and her daughter, Carley, 19, are Ithaca's two, and only, "icewomen." They volunteered for the job when Mr. Chilson suffered a back injury at the ice plant and was unable to get a husky enough helper.

Mrs. Chilson is only a part-time worker, but Carley is on the job six days a week. Some days she has handled as much as three tons of a load in order to help her father, who operates the ice routes. SWEETHEART Theater Bar THIRD at SELDEN Presents RAY VINCENT SINGING M. C.
