took place in Atlantic, Ga. the premiere of the Tech- nicolour film "Gone With the Wind."

Governor Eurith D. Rivers proclaimed a Statewide holiday and 300,000 film fans lined up for seven miles to watch the procession of motor-cars which brought Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, his wife Carole Lombard, Producer David O. Selznick, Laurence Olivier and others from the air port.
