ture is M-G-M's “The Next Voice
You Hear . . showing at the
Viccar Theatre Thursday and Fri
day.
This is the story of a typical
American couple. Joe and Mary
Smith, and their nine-year-old
son. Johnny. leading typical
American lives Joe works in an
airplane plant, gripes about his
wife's cooking, the defective start
er on his old sedan, the traffic
cop on the corner, nosey Aunt
Ethel and his foreman. Mr Bran
nan, who is too cussed to retire
and let Joe take his place Mary,
who is expecting her second baby,
takes Joe's grumbling in her
stride, and littje Johnny adores his
dad. Then c curious event leaves
its mark on their lives. On a rad
io broadcast a voice announces:
“This is Clod. I will be with you
f„ rthe next few days.” At first
thought to t>e a hoax, the strange
announcements, which reoccur for
the next six days at precisely the
same hour and in every part of
the world, finally cause wonder,1
consternation and fear. And they
have a decided effect on certain
memorable occurnnces which hap
pen to Joe and his family during
that week What takes place will
not be reported here in order not
to rob the spectator of surprise
and suspense but it can be said
that Joe’s outlook on life, on the
relationship between him and

November boasts of havipg in
it fivp Thursdays. The last time
this neeured. there was some lit
tle confusion us to which should
be celebrated as Thansglving Day,
and, therefore, a legal holiday.
The Baltimore Sun comments
editorially on the situation, and
this newspaper reproduces it for
the benefit of those who did not
sec it; it straightened out the dif
ficulty very dearly as follows:
There are five Thursdays in
November this year. This may
lead to a revival of the con
fusion over Thansgiving that pre
vailed in the minds of many peo
ple several years ago.
It will be recalled: that obser
vance was divided in 1939, .1940
and 1941, during" the administra
tion of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
From the year 1(163 when Abra
ham Lincoln issued a proclamation
to that effect. Thanksgiving Day
had been designated ifs the fourth,
or last Thursday in November.
In the three "years mentioned.
President Rooseyplt „ proclaimed
the preeeding Thursday for ob
servance. The governors’ of'.states
