OCTAGON THEATRE
“ SINCE YOU WENT AWAY ’*
" Since You Went Away," David O. Selznick’s first film since the Academy Award-winning “ Gone With the Wind and “ Rebecca," starring Claudette Colbert, Joseph Cotten, Jennifer Jones, Shirley Temple, Monty Woolley, Lionel Barrymore, and Robert Walker, commenced a final week’s screening at the Octagon Theatre yesterday. Described as a “ panorama of the home front,” “ Since You Went Away ” is the first film to glorify America and the folks at home. In the simple story of the Hilton family, Selznick has delineated a portrait of all the families of America. In this household composed of Anne Hilton and her two daughters, Janet and “ Brig,” the producer has captured all the laughter, warmth and pathos of the average American home whose man has gone to the war. The box plans are at the theatre and Begg’s.
