The film will be shown at Peoples on Sunday only and at the Imperial on Monday and Tuesday. The Morley novel, called by its author “the natural history of a woman,” has been transferred to the screen in a manner to elicit in both contemporaries and their el ders complete recognition of its subject: the emotions beneath the modern working girl’s white collar "uniform.” As "Kitty,” prototype of the young American career woman, Ginger Rogers delivers her finest performance to date, and proves without question her right to recog nition as a ArdfedUc actress of the first 'Hu*. Dehnis Motgdn dhd bide by the safine standards in their James Craig, her tedding ineh, a portrayals of the two fined In her life, the One with ifthbnn She is more in love than he <*h>s with het, who loves her more than she can hfth. . ... as in pm tft* etfc. aw? ter is a girl from the wrong side of the tracks to Philadelphia, Who gives withOtit «|ftt Of her heart and her courage to the descendant of a long line of Main Llhers, Who finally yields to family pressures and convictions and marries some one else, only to return again and ask Kitty to come away with him. In between, there is portrayed a love story and a picture of the life of a "white collar girl” which cuts straight to the core in the telling. ****** “Land of Liberty”, a picture of the growth of the United States from its very beginning to the present, will be offered at the Peo ples Theatre on Monday and Tues day only. Sponsored by the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of America and released by M-G-M on a non-profit basis, this caval cade of America was produced for the purpose of awakening Ameri cans to a greater realization of what their country is and what its policy of freedom has cost. It is studded with the drama which is inherent in the develop ment of a united people, through bloodshed, hardship and innumera ble growing pains.

The concluding sequences in Technicolor of citj and mountain vistas are almost breath-taking in their beauty. ****** Laraine Day and Robert Young will be presented at the downtowr theatre for the Wednesday-Thurs day shows in “The Trial of Marj Dugan.’’ Both of these popular dramatic players are at their besl in this highly dramatic film. Miss Day, escapee from a reform atory, gets a job with an oil com pany headed by Conway after his car kills her father. Young, a com pany attorney, falls for her and vice versa, but she refuses to go to South America with him because she can’t get a passport and doesn’t want* to reveal her past. Young returns just as her murder trial is entering its final phase and he takes over from Lit.el, who has been representing her. Young ably defends her, uncovers the real mur ■g ■ — derer and wins her acquittal with wedding bells following. ****** Audiences at the “bargain day” show at the Peoples will be priv ileged to see a thrilling story of newspaper life as it unfolds in the story of a big town star reporter.
