CIVIC THEATRE
TONIGHT AND WEDNESDAY No picture in recent years has had such a phenomenal elfect on so phenomenal a number of careers as has "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn," the 20th Century-Fox filmisation of Betty Smith's sensational bestseiier which opens tonight at the Civic Theatre. Dorothy McGuire, who first became f amous three j years ago in* the title role of "Claudia" on Broadway, then last year repeated the role of the amusing, scatter-brained young bride- on the screen, has a chance to prove in "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn" that she has other possibilities. She plays the dramatic young wife and mother. The role of her husband, "Johnny Nolan," has brought James Dunn back from the outskirts of fame to the centre of the Hollywood spotlight. The smiling Irishman is on the verge of stardom again — and, insiders add, a nomination for the Academy Award. -
