I'm just a country hick, he says, living on a farm. And every time I leave it, I get into trouble. In non-conforming literary thunderbolt for many years, Mr. Lewis won the Pulitzer Prize for Arro Smith, but turned down the $1,000 as a protest against what he called the restrictive terms of the award.

The son of a physician with a grandfather, uncle, and brother, also doctors. It's easy to understand why Mr. Lewis turned to medicine for the background of his story. Before writing Arrowsmith, he spent many months in a New York medical center doing research. There he met the famous biographer of medicine, Dr. Paul DeKrive, and with him

traveled through the West Indies on a tireless search for color and material. Tonight's presentation is based on the magnificent screenplay and stars Spencer Tracy in the title role. Mr. Tracy commands an unquestioned position as one of the finest actors ever seen in motion pictures. For his appearance here we thank Metro Gordon Mayor Studios, who next present
