Decisions as to future allowan- ce.s will depend largely upon the supply picture, officials indicated, leaving the entire program flexi ble and subject to prompt altera (ion by the Office of minirttratimi.

I pictm-e stars, each with an enthu .siastic following, are paired as a romantic team for picture pur poses, the public is certain to greet the announcement with considera ble enthusiasm. Such a new team is the one in- trouecd by Warner Bros, in the Liberty’s Thursday and Friday’s picture “Kings Row,’’ in which Ann Sheridan has, for her ‘‘light o’ love”—and vice versa—Ronald Reagan. This romantic pairing is being continued by the studio in a Price .Ad- s^(.,>nd picture, “Juke Girl,” in which Miss Sheridan and Mr. Rea gan will play the romantic leads. This is good news to the two players a.s well as to the public, which likes its screen love played by attractive young people ■who seem to “match.” Ann and Ron ald undoubtedly match. In “Kings typical American type, lean, ener getic and enthusiastic, Ronald i Reagan has climbed to second j place among the Warner stars in j fan mail in the comparatively short i time he has been in picture wx>rk. Here indeed is a pair of Icfvers that all the world will quickly learn to love. Here Is romance fit to set the world to sighing. Here is beauty and youth and all j the stuff of which life as we know it in America is made. This is a team to please all ages and all kinds of people. If ever the cinema world was ready for a new team of screen lovers, this is the time, and the.se are the people. They have many tender, effective scenes together as lovers in “Kings Row” and their love story is a golden thread that holds “Juke Girl” together as splendid entertainment. They should go on, this well-mated cine ma pair, down the years playing love scenes and making audiences laugh and w'eep with joy and un derstanding of them. As N.
