Monroe Doctrine
To be Explained
The Monroe Doctrine is possibly
now, at this crucial stage of the
conflict in Europe, the most import
ant document in the minds of the
American people, inasmuch as it
may determine at any time the pol
icy of the United States of America
in regard to certain steps of ag
gression that could be made at any
time by any one of a number of
foreign countries.
The Star theater is, therefore,
bringing to its screen on May 29-30,
a time when we are memorializing
another war and its heroes, a tech
nicolor historical feature the topic
of which is "The Monroe Doctrine."
It is a vivid exposition of the events
leading up to the Monroe Doctrine
and what it since has meant and
can mean to this country. It is well
cast and well acted, it is authentic
and will be found to be entertaining
as well as educational. The feature
picture on the program is "I Take
This Woman," starring Spencer Tra
cy and Hedy LaMarr.
