Feb. 24 (U.R) Ingrid Bergman's new motion picture, "Stromboli," received such a cool reception from this Scandinavian and Finnish popu lated town that a scheduled four- day run was cancelled after three days of poor attendance. "It was a mediocre picture, anyway, said A. M. Dunlop. the theater manager. "The best thing in it was the volcano, not Berg man. There wasn't anything any one could take exception to. It was Just a bum picture." uiiniop said, however, that none of Bergman's films, except those in which she appeared with big box office stars, ever did much business in Astoria.
