“HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY.”

Tragedy and poverty have walked among the simple, God-fearing Welsh miners for so many years that they are no strangers, neither to the men nor to their wives and children. But it was not always tragedy and black slag and bitter poverty. There was a lime when the valleys were green, when lovers walked on carpets of ox-eyed daisies and men and women watched the beginnings of industry with curious eyes. “How Green Was My Valley,” which will be shown tonight, tells the story. Roddy McDowall gives the performance of the year as Huw, the 12-year-old son to whom the first rumblings and later the storm itself must waste themselves against the bastions of his Welsh home. Sara Allgood, who has appeared on the stage in Masterton, and Donald Crisp as his parents provoke tears of sympathy in their trials. Maureen O Hara and Walter Pidgeon are two more names in a long cast. “How G l '® 6l } Was My Valley” is a cameo of all that is fine in. the British character.
