Civic Theatre
In adapting Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings' deeply moving, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel "The Yearling" to the screen, M.-G.-M. iias achieved an outstanding success. "Tne Yearling" screens at the Civic Theatre today only. Starring Gregory Peck and Jane Wyman, the simp:e yet powerful novel has been rendered with sincerity and imagination. It is tne story of a man, liis-wife and Son and their great and ceaseless battle with nature at its most elemental, and brutal. Set in the fantastically beautiful Florida backwoods the film relates in an absorbing manner, the little family's struggle for survival. The luxuriant tropical foliage and abundant wild-life ' provide a rich scenic background for the technicolor camera.
