This is "Annie Laurie," Lillian | aish's ;; new Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer starring vehicle, playing at the Trio Theatre here Monday. It is a mighty story of the fierce Highlanders, in their wars, their clah "eiids, their hates?and their loves. They lived?did those sturdy Highland folk?and got the most out oA lif^i I They fought as no others did?their heroism gave the'world such example^ I as Bruce and Wallace. Their romance has echoed in Burns and in Scott Their songs were sweet?their war fare grim. T>':f I Lillian Gisk plays Annie, the hii* I toric daughter of Sir Robert Lauriji, I in the story of the Glencoe Massacre. I As .the Scottish heroine who inspired the famous song, she enacts the role bf a Scottish Joan of Arc in a mighty spectacle.

Stately castles rear ther towers amid the heather, -v Through a mighty epfc of warfare* I battle und patriotism runs the gibm ous romance of a love that def ied cen turies of convention and the stern rules of tribe. It is a mighty lesson? and a glorious entertainment. Norman Kerry plays the leading male role as Ian, fierce chieftain of the MacDonalds, and Hobart Bosworth enacts the ristoric "Wolf.olf Glencoe."
