The future looks even brighter for this renascent outfit as it celebrates its 35th Anniversary. The i)romised quality seems destined to appear in greater abundance this year than in any since l^A's heyday.

For a company that two years ago was languishing in red ink without, apparently, the faintest hope of succor, L nited Artists has loomed into a prominence in the movie industry that is little short of miraculous. The messrs. Krim. Benjamin. Fox, Heineman, Youngstein, Picker and Peyser aren't actually miracle-men, although their handling of United Artists might make them seem so. They're hard workers, men with faith and courage, and the ability to make a business pay ofiF. both for them and for their customers.
This United Artists Story is, indeed, stranger than fiction, more glamorous than any fantasy born of a script writer s imagination. A movie story it is, but, more, it is a story of our country and its way of life.
Highlights from forthcoming UA films: Anthony Quinn, Peggie Castle in "The Long Wait"; Barbara Stanwyck. George Sanders in "Witness to Murder"; Errol Flynn in "Crossed Swords".
