"Young Mr. Lincoln"
WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 1940. -PAGE ¿
-Don't look for the familiar Lin-
coin of history's pages when you go down to the King's Theatre to see Darryl F: Zanuck's magnificent production of “Young Mr. Lincoin," which comes to town today with Henry Fonda in the title, role and kept a packed house enthrall- ed.
For
this grand Cosmopolitan production for 20th Century-Fox is the story that has never been told of his thrilling, romantic, eventful youth in the backwoods. town of Springfield, Tilinois-the brawny fackleg lawyer who wrestled with the boys, boasted an endless fund of funny stories and a keen wit and fell in love.
The film sparkles with the chote- est of the witticisms and anécdotes for which Lincoln was famous and there are thrills and Tomance enough to suit any taste.
Others who score in the great cast are Alice Brady, as the mother of the accused boys, Marjorie Weaver as Mary Todd, Arleen Whelan,
Eddle Collins, Pauline Moore as Ann Rutledge, Richard Cromwell. Donald Meek, Dorris. Bowdon and Eddie Quillan,
