It is a magnificent salute to the stalwart fearlessness that is in some men as well as to the simple faith that lives in the hearts of all children. Too much cannot be said for the superlative performances of the players. Monty Wooley, as the gruff Englishman, surpasses his outstanding work in "The Man Who Came to D'inner." Properly explosive at times, he shows an unsuspected ability for the warm, more human scenes. Roddy MacDowell proves an invaluable in-valuable aid to the crotchety Woolley. Attractive Anne Baxter Bax-ter gives definite proof that she is an actress of rare ability. "The Pied Piper" is a truly magnificent motion picture!

The Strand theatre continues its policy of presenting only first-rate double bills today w'h'n it brings to theatre-goers an entertaining program comprised of the values of Humphrey Bogart's latest thriller, thrill-er, "The Big Shot.'' and the human comedy, "Shepherd of the Ozarks," a clever tale of laughable mountain folks.

(Upper Right) One of cinema history's gayest, merriest merri-est musicals comes to the screen of the Paramount theatre today when the brilliant bril-liant talents of Sonja Henie, skater deluxe; John Payne, Apollo - supreme ; and Jack Oakie, comedian elite, are combined to bring a really great entertainment enter-tainment thrill. (Above Circle) A smash double bill fitted in a sombre mood is seen at the Uinta, theatre today to-day when two of last season's greatest melodramas are brought back to thrill and chill again. The first, "Moontide," is a superb drama laid against a waterfront water-front background; the second is "Nazi Agent," a thrilling study of sabotage. Paramount Offers Great Musical On Today's Bill One of Hollywood's merriest musicals, "Iceland," makes 1ta local lo-cal debut at the Paramount theatre today, and according to previewer's cheers, this picture, like its predecessor, "Sun Valley Val-ley Serenade," is not only an entertainment en-tertainment gem in its own right, but adds more laurels to those already al-ready amassed by scintillating Sonja Henie, who seems to skate with even more enchanting grace than she has in her previous films. Sharing co-starring honors with Miss Henie is the Appolloesque sensation John Payne, who is the most popular leading man since the John Gilbert days. As the name implies, the setting set-ting for "Iceland" is America's newest outpost, with the thrilling opening showing the arrival of United States Marines to take over. An averted auto collision introduces Icelandic native Sonja to dashing Corporal Payne, and from then on the torrid love scenes melt even the cold northern north-ern snow! Two great song chefs, Mack Gordon and Harry Warren, one of Hollyood's greatest song composing com-posing teams, bent over backwards back-wards when they worked on "Pee land," producing a long list of song hits, which include: "You Can t Say No To A Soldier," "Lover's Knot," "Let's Bring New Glory to Old Glory," "There'll Never Be Another You," and "I Like- a Military Tune." Adding even more attraction to this all-star hit is the nation's top swing and sway band," that of Sammy Kaye! Jack Oakie, scone-stealer supreme, is featured. BACK IN CHARACTER WATER WORSE THAN FIRE Earle "Tex" Harris, former U. C.L.A. football star, who plays Brian Donlevy's communications aide in Paramount's "Wake Island," re-enacted ihs part for an Army show broadcast from the Merced Army Flying School where he now is stationed. Though the spectacular forest fire sequences of Paramount's -The Rangers"- produced no casualties, cas-ualties, Susan Hayward narrowly escaped drowning when she lost her balance on a rolling log during dur-ing millpond scenes. Two Great Shows At Strand Today Continuing its policy of presenting present-ing the most entertaining double bills, in Central Utah, t'he Strand theatre today presents two smasfl first-run successes. The Big Shot" and "Shepherd of the Ozarks." "The Big Shot," which is being hearalded as "the story from the gutter that'll make even gangland gang-land shudder," has even, bigger thrills than "High Sierra," more suspense than "The Maltese Falcon." Fal-con." and greater excitement than "All Through the Night." Humphrey Hum-phrey Bogart, in a performance surpassing his "Duke Mantee" in "The Petrified Forest,", stirs the audience's emotion to the straining strain-ing point. Aiding him is the screen's newest sensation, Irene Manning, former stage star. The second half of the program is made up of laughs and tears that only the Weaver Brothers and Elviry can bring to America's western-loving audiences. Entitle! "Shepherd of the Ozarks," this is an absorbing and highly 'entertaining 'enter-taining phase of Yankee folklore. Seen in the supporting cast are Marilyn Hare, Frank Albertson, and Thurston Hall.
