This probably, would have worked out all right in j Sonja's case except for Sonja her self. Far from being satisfied with that i first brilliant success, the rniraculous skating star set about to surpass it I in every way and did with "Thin, Ice" and "Happy Landing." And so , it is easy to understand the wildly enthusiastic reports concerning Sonja's newest 20th Century-Fox tri-, umph, "My Lucky Star," which opens Thursday at the State Theatre. j For one thing, "My Lucky Star") presents Sonja in an entirely new( setting, .far removed from Switzer-; land's Alpine peaks and Norway's re- mote peasant villages. A radiant, modern girl, having a J modern good time on a co-ed campus, ! wearing swank clothes, having swell dates that's Sonja as you'll see her; now, against a background as Amer ican as a college yell. Sharing star honors with her ft Richard Greene, handsome young British actor who gave such a splen did account of himself in "Four Men And A Prayer," while Joan Davis, Cesar Romero and Buddy Ebsen promise much in the way of comedy in their featured roles. The story, according to Director Roy Del Ruth, opens with Sonja en rolling as a student at Plymouth Col lege, where she is to model the smart sports clothes of Romero's (or rather hitf father's) Fifth Avenue store. In the school's annual ice carnival Sonja is so sensational that a picture magazine publishes her pho-, tograph on its cover. Romero's ali-j mony-minded wife uses this to create a newspaper scandal between her hus-: band and Sonja, forcing Sonja's resig- j nation from school. To clear her own name so that she will be free to continue her romance with Richard, and to help Romero' raise the money to settle with his wife, Sonja agrees to stage her ice carnival in the Fifth Avenue store. 1 It is here that Sonja performs her ! magnificent "Alice In Wonderland" i ice ballet, one of the six hib skating 1 ensembles in the picture and a thing which has made audiences cry out in wonder and delight. Director Del Ruth claims to have' perfected some startling technical in-! novations in photographing Sonja's ice bailee, one of the six big skating ; Revel have written several delightful new melodies. ' The supporting cast includes Ar tkur Treacher, George Barbier, Louise Hovick, Billy Gilbert, Patricia Wildey and Paul Hurst. Darryl F. Zanuck 1 was in charge of production, with Harry Joe Brown as associate pro ducer. "My Lucky Star" is one of the Movie Quiz $250,000 contest pictures.

Tke Ford "or 1939 m s le 11 Th eir pi ans i IP WB KNEW anything better we could do for the country than make goodTTnotor cars, we would do it. By every one doing his best in the job he thinks most useful, this country is going to regain its momentum. We have tried to do our best in our job. When business was suddenly halted in its recov ery more than a year ago, we determined that we should keep going anyway, if not at full-volume motor car production, then at getting ready for greater motor car values that would help future production. EXPANDING FOR THE FUTURE We began to build 34 million dollars' worth of new plants and equipment. We felt that if we could not employ all our men building motor cars, we would employ as many as we could building better production facilities. We were told, of course, that this was no time for expansion, that a wiser business policy would be to "hold eveiything'' which means, stop everything. But no one ever got anywhere standing still. Besides, we are not defeatists. We do not believe his country has seen its best days. We believe this country is yet in the infancy of its growth. We be lieve that every atom of faith invested in our jCountry and our People will be amply justified by jthe future. We believe America is just beginning. Never yet have our People seen real Prosperity. Never yet have we seen adequate Production. But we shall see it! That is the assurance in (which we have built. Business is not just coming back. It will have . tp be brought back. That is ifow" becoming well understood in thfcieountry; for that reason 1939 will be a cooperative year. Manufacturers, sellers .

' Henry and Edsel Ford, on the occasion of the 33th anniversary of the founding of the Ford Motor Company, June 16, 1938 that no one's hand touches but ours. Of nearly everything else we use we build some quantity ourselves, to find, if possible, better and more economical ways of doing it. The experience and knowledge we gain are freely shared with our suppliers, and with other industries. We take no profit on anything we make for ourselves and sell to ourselves. Every operation, from the Ford ships which first bring iron ore to the Rouge, is figured at accurate cost. The only profit is on the finished result the car or truck as it comes oft: the line. Some years, there is no profit for us. But we see to it that our customers always profit. A basic article of our business creed is that no sale is economically constructive unless it profits the buyer as much as or more than the seller. Our new plants have helped us build more value into all our cars .for 1939. That means more profit on the purchase to the purchaser. We have not cut quality to reduce costs. We simply will not build anything inferior. . NEW TESTING EQUIPMENT While we were putting up new plants to produce cars, we constructed new equipment to test them. The first weather tunnel of its kind ever built for automobile research went into operation at our laboratories this yeai. . It makes any kind of weather to order. The weather it delivers every day would take months to find in Nature. Our cars are weather-tested to give you good service in any climate anywhere. In other tests, every part of the car is pun ished unmercifully. Then our engineers tear it down to see if they can find abnormal wear or any sign of weakness. The money we spend on tests saves you money on repairs. And your family car is safer and more dependable when we put it in your hands. THE NEW CARS We have two new Ford cars for 1939 better cars end better looking but we also have an entirely new car. It's called the Mercury 8. It fits into our line between the De Luxe Ford and the Lincoln Zephyr. It is larger than the Ford, with 116-inch wheelbase, hydraulic brakes, and a new 95-horse-power V-type 8-cy Under engine. We know that our 1939 cars are cars of good quality. We think they're fine values in their price classes. With new cars, new plants, new equipment, the whole ford organization is geared to go forward , FORD' MOTOR COMPANY, Dearborn, Michigan
