Displayed Here
C. A. Rowland, well-known and
popular owner of Beech Haven,
located on the Atlanta Highway,
has some 15 or 20 colors of aza
leas on display at the Athens Re
gional Library. Mr. Rowland is a
collector of wild flowers and herbs
from all over the<®state and said
today that Beech Haven is now
in full bloom with a profussion
of bright colors. *
Mr. Rowland further stated that
few people realize that “our Geor
gia woods furnish some of the
most beautiful of all azaleas”. He
added, “Many see in the country
what is commonly called the wild
pink honeysuckle, a true azalea,
but, as this is the only color in this
section, few realize how many dif
ferent colors and bicolors are to
be found in our Georgia woods.”
One of Mr. Rowland’s chief
pleasures is displaying the flow
ers and shrubs which are to be
seen in his gardens and woods.
When asked by surprised people
where he gets the brightly colored
flowers, he always responds that
they are “products of our native
state.”
Mr. Rowland and the staff of the
library invite all flower lovers to
drop by the Library to see the
azaleas on display there.
Grass and trees may be called
the essentials of dress for the home
with shrubbery and flowers as
trimmings.
Superb Enferfainment, Froman Saga
Ranks As One Of Top Musical
Offerings Of All Time
The “Technicolor musical drama
of songstress Jane Froman, “With
A Song In My Heart” which
opens today at the Palace Thea
tre is truly a great motion picture
event.
Although not a musical in the
ordinary sense, “With A Song In
My Heart,” from beginning to end,
is loaded with some of the finest
musical entertainment imaginable.
It is a great human story, a thrill
ing cavalcade of the last 15 years
and a jilting tribute to a gallant
entertainer captured in enchant
ing color by Technicolor with all
the production genius that only
the motion picture industry can
offer.
Here is the stranger-than-fic
tion saga of Jane Froman, the
glamorous singer who became the
toast of the nation during the late
1930’s and early ’4o's. At the
height of her career, tragedy
strikes. While flying to entertain’
troops overseas, the plane she is
inserashed in Lisbon harbor near
ly causing her death but leaving
her unable to walk.
When you aren’t listening to a
galaxy of wonderful songs, your
heart is torn by the thriiling
comeback this girl makes in a
successful effort to return to show
business. The finale which in
cludes songs from every state and
gection of America is one of the
greatest Interludes ever seen in a
'mofion picture. |
~As Jane Fromman, Susan Hay
ward is absolutely sensational.
She has perfected the manner
isms, style and chargcteristics of
Jane Froman until you blink in

acting make for one of the most
memorable performances of many

All of her fellow players are

handsome and dashing as the pilot

later marries her, David Wayne is
whimsical and appealing as the
vaudevillian who discovers her,
and Thelma Ritter is riotously
wonderful as the nurse who cares
