CIVIC THEATRE
SATUIIDAY AND MONDAY The "picture that had to be made," "Son of Lassie," successor to "Lassie Come Home," opens tomorrow at the Civic Theatre. Proving once again that, for thrilling loyalty and tender poignancy, no story can match that of a faithful dog and a boy. Lassie, beautiful and talented collie, who became a star in that first picture, now continues his heart-warming a'dventures in the much demanded sequel, and once again it is filmed in georgeous technicolour. With the canine wonder this time, topping another outstanding cast, are Peter Lawford, Donald,Cnsp, Nigel Bruce and June Lockhart. Donald Crisp and Nigel Bruce repeat the holes they created in the previous success. Peter Lawford plays Joe grown up, and pretty June Lockhart, in her most important role to date, is the Duke's granddaugliter Priscilla, played in "Lassie" as a child by Elizabeth Taylor.
