In the capable hands of scenar- ists Liam O'Flaherty, Jerome

Chodorov and Dalton Trumbo, what might have been a potpourri of low comedy and ten-twenty-

thirty melodramatics emerges as a VICTORIA THE GREAT

well-knit, well-constructed comedy- drama in which romance, comedy and scenic thrills are consummate- ly merged. The story has a de- finite unity, a plot with a maxi- mum of pace and realism. As the film unfolds the authors pose a dramatic question and then pro- ceed to answer it in a stirring and spectacular climax.

150-Year Old Trail

The departure 150 years ago of ploneers from Hamilton, Mas- sachusetts, to the newly-opened North-west Territory Was re- enacted when a covered wagon. drawn by oxen set out from Hamilton to Marletta.

The departure of the wagon. accomparted by 38 men, three saddle horses and two pack horses, was preceded by services in the First Congregational Church, from which the original settlers of Marietta depated,

!

The Reverend Elmer Newton Eddy read part of the address of the Reverend Manasegh Cutler, who gave blessings to the pioneers when they left Hamilton.

The wagon is expected to reach Marietta in four months. It is..a reproduction of the one used by the friends and followers of the Reverend Mr. Cutler when they departed in 1787 to establish four months later the settlement on the Ohio River which they named Marietta,

The settlement later expanded Into what became Ohio, Tinole, Indiana, Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota..
