Varm Picture of
Lovable Family
With the showing yesterday of
Betty Smith's "A Tree Grows in
Brooklyn" on the screen of tho
Liberty theater, a great and new
kind of motion picture was born.
As those who have read the
richly touching book will know,
tlie film tells the story of the
Nolans of Brooklyn, of their
laughter and tours, and of their
struggle for oxistence and expres
sion. It is the story of a child
who grow up . . of a man who
never did . . and of a woman
who wished she hndn't. Tho story
of the Nolans, whose feet walked
a city's pavement, but whose eyes
were on the stars, is packed plum-
pudding-rich with tho everyday
living, hopes and fears, sorrows
und triumphs of every average
family from Brooklyn to San
Francisco.
