"THE STARS LOOK DOWN."
A. J. Cronin wrote another brilliant book, "The Stars Look Down." No living man knows so much, or could write -so clearly, of the lifes, hopes, ambitions, loves, and hates' of Eng-
land's most loyal people. A. J. Cronin is not a stylist, he is a born storyteller, and he takes care that his work is properly documented. If he describes a mining village, he has lived there. His mines ha^ve the sweat, the grime of real life. ,'± his factual detail, plus his gift of creating characters and his passionate sympathy with the underdog, give his work a vitality and drive that make it the richest of screen material. "The Stars Look Down" as a film stars Michael Redgrave, Margaret Lockwood, Emlyn Williams, supported by a cast of thousands. It is directed by Carol Reed.
