dence to date that the Germans
had begun, at least on a small scale,
unrestricted submarine warfare.

Marcia was the first to recover. s,Linda, you're here for Jimmy are- mt you2" There was no enmity in her voice, only wonder. "You came all the way from Queensville? Bill Brooks and I came in borrowed ship, as soon as we heard :" I How is he, Marcia?" There was 1 no use any more in pretending. "Hes-he's not dying, is he2"
 "No, but he's pretty bad" She took Linda's hand, and led her to the elevator. In silence, with . mute embarrassment between fthem. they approached Jimmy's room.
 "Bills in there now. IT left them alone because - because I couldn't stop crying" T won't cry" Linda said stead- fly.
 And then she was crossing the small room, whispering, "Jimmyl"
 He was swathed in bandages, but his eyes were glowing up at her were like burning coals. 'Lindal" He tried to move his arms, and couldn't. With a stran- gled sob, she flew to him. "Jim- my, Jimmy"

 Then she was pleading, Don't hate me, Marcia. Try to understand T do understand" There was no mistaklng the sincerity in Marcia's eyes. "I1l always under stand, Linda, because I love you, too. But IT don't think ought to go back to see Jimmy any more, now that you're here. Bill and I will go home"
 Their hands touched for mo- ment. Then Marcia King was walking to the door, brave and small. Her head high, her chin firm. "Goodby, Linda"
 Linda's breath caught. "G-good- by, Marcia dear"
 The next morning, she was at the hospital promptly at nine. Jimmy was impatient,y waiting for her. They'll patch me up, I'll be all right. But I think they're keeping something from me. I'll never fly again. That's 1t, isn't it2'
 Her clear eyes dropped.
 Linda, look at me"
 "Yes, Jimmy. That's 1t. Marcia told me-" She bent over him ten- derly. Don't you care, darling You've got me, isn't that some- thing2 And Jimmy, I've been thinking The Navy might not want you. But at the univer- sity, where Daddy teaches, there's a chair in aeronautics. You could do so many worthwhile things therei You could teach boys to be splendid commercial pilots. You could experiment, do research" And that would knock youl objections to a pilot husband into cooked hat, wouldn't 1t, Linda?' He chuckled. Maybe this crack. up was staged for our especial benefit" An instant later, his eyes were somber again. "Those boys who didn't come out alive weren't as lucky as I. There must be something I could do, to make flying safer. I used to have ideas for little gadgets. I never had much time."
 "You1l have time galore, from now on." She kissed him gently I'm going out to telephone Daddy I'm sure Rourke kept him from worrying, but I want to tell him that I'm coming home soon. and that I'm bringing him son-in-lav who isn't a warriorl"

In The Local
 TheaterS
POLl'S

Now playing at the comfortably cool Loew Poll theater is the out standing spectacle drama of the year.
 With the unreeling of Alexander Korda's superb technicolor film, -Four Feathers" patrons are assured of one of the most stirring and most dramatic films they have seen for some time.
 -Four Feathers was filmed in the Sudan and all the beauty and melo- drama of this tropic hinterland have hesn caught by the camera in strik- ing natural color. Zoltan Kodra directed the production and the fine cast is headed by Ralph Richard son, June Duprez, John Clements and o. Aubrey Smith.
 "Four Feathers" is the story of . young English officer who resigns hie commission because he knows thAt he is coward, that he could not stand war. The heart-throbbing story follows telling of the young officer branded a coward by his friends in his regiment.
 Certainly no more spectacular and brilliant offering than -Four Feath- CTS" has yet been presented by MT Korda, for 1t dramatizes stirring story of heroism against authentic desert backgrounds superbly photo- graphed in brilliant color. The vast crowds of Arabs Dervishes and Fuzzy -Wuzzies not to mention the English regiments-numbering all told nearly 4000--were handled re- markably by Director Zoltan Korda. The film is further notabl for out standing shots of the Nile cataracts over which are hauled Kitchener's s gunboats just as they were 40 years ago.
 Outstanding performances are turned in by John Clements as the hero who redeems himself. by June Duprez, MT. Korda's latest discov- cry, and Ralph Richardson who Is still remembered for his fine charac- terization as Denny" in "The Cita- del" The supporting cast headed by that fine old man of the films, c. Aubrey Smith, includes Donald Gray, Jack Allen and Clixe Baxter whose excellent portrayals add im- measurably to the acting strength of -Four Feathers" This new Korda offering, with its glorious natural settings, its fast-moving action scenes, its thrilling romantic mo- ments, its tight suspense, must nat urally head any list of pictures which can be said to provide solid, sure-fire entertainment.
 The second hit on this popular program is Should Husbands Work with The Higgins Family, in another hilarious episode of this favorite family featuring James, Lucille, and Russell Gleason.
