CIVIC THEATRE
SATURDAY AND MONDAY "The Corn is Green,"' starring Bette Davis and . John Dall, adheres faithfully to the spirit of Evelyn William's famous stage play. A young Welsh coal miner's ambftion to study and- write, and the burning enthusiasm of his jchoolmistress are interpreted with conviction and • drama by John Dall and Bette Davis. With Jiem are blended more tangible events — the lad's entanglement with a spiteful village girl (Joan Lorring) enrolment of the local squire (Nigel Brucej, and the muted hostility of the miners. Singing is a feature of village iife, and the film makes the most ' )f the locale hi this respect.
