THE MOMTAIN TRAIL SBPTSI'ffiER 1, 1939 PAGE If- THREi; STARS TOP OTJTSTANDING CAST OF "THE VrOfffiN" Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Rosa lind Russell together for the first time. Hsraldod as one of the most unusual films ever to come out of Hollywood, ”Th© T'omen", with an all-star cast of 135 ac tresses headed by Normfi Shearer, Joan Crawford and Rosalind Russell, opens at Highlands School Theatre on Monday for an engagement of two days. The story, based upon Clare Boothe’s Broadway stage success of the same name, weaves the everyday experiences of women into an exciting conedy-drama into which laughs and tears nre skillfully blended. Ultra-modern settings, smart clothes and a fashion parade add eye-filling beauty as a background to the razor-sharp dia logue. Miss Shearer appears as Mary Haines, her first modern society role since ”Rip-‘ tide." Joan Crawford is seen as the siren Crystal Allen, and Rosalind Russell as the inveterate gossip, Sylvia Fowler. Others in a powerful supporting cast include Mnry Bolnnd, Paulo;tte Go.Mard, Phyllis Povah, Joan Fontaine, Virginia Y'eidler, Lucile Wntson, Florence Nash, Muriel Hutchinson, Esther Dale, Ann Mor ris s, Ruth Hussey, Donnio Moore, Itoy FOTJR"DAUGHTERS COURAGEOUS "COME TO HIGHLi'JIDS SCHOOL THEATRE TODAY "Daughters Courageous", the V/arner Brothers comedy of domestic life which opens today at Highlands School Theatre could be termed a first cousin to the same studious highly successful "Four Daughters”, but it is not a sequel to that picture. The similarity starts with the cast, for every important player in the form er picture is also in the new one; then it had the same director, and besides it was written by a writing team one of whose members was also co-author of the screen play which was last yearns hit. V,Tiile the plot concerns different people than those in "Four Daughters", there is a basic similarity in that the new picture is also aboUt the joys, the sorrows, the laughs, the tears in the lives of a genuinely "folksy" family.
