An intensely human, simple tale is
told in Young Nowheres." There are
no spectacular train wrecks or huge
war scenes, no melodramatic skyrockets
or emotional mbshells-noth1ng to
detract from the straightforward story
of two lonely dreamers, drawn together
by kindly fate into the roaring wilder
ness of great city.
Binky, the elevator boy, and Annie
the chamberInaid, are said to be char-
acters from real life, and the touching
narration of their quest for happiness
is strong dramatic value. Their lone
liness-their meeting-the dark shadow
of danger across their pathway-art
portrayed sympathetieally to thrllllne
climax and a novel denouement.
