breathless but happy, that such
people can exist In the cinema for
your amusement and amazement,
much happier In the knowledge
that they never could exist out
side the rarified atmosphere of a
Aim scenario.
"Remember?" is that one about
two fellows and one girl again, but
1t has been given shot in the arm
or wherever the jab of a hypodermic
needle would do the triangle yarn
the most good. One lad has a
fiancee, his pal surreptitiously woos
and weds her, just because both
were struck by the lightning of love
at first sight. There Is, of course,
nothing novel about this, though it
Is done with that deft dizziness Di-
rector Norman z. Mcleod can inject
into hght-hearted script, The
novelty arrives on the scene when
the two love birds snarl like tigers
and seek for separate cages, which
makes the pal angrier than he. was
when he lost his flancee. He doses
the two of them with a drug which
induces amnesia, they forget they
have ever met before and 1t is love
at first sight all over again. This
Is considerable fun, for the on
lockers, we mean, not having given
thought to the matter Of par
tlcipation.
This amnesia business makes for
such bright comedy that it is hardly
fair to voice even a minor complaint
about 1t. But If one would be tech
meal 1t would be noted that there
is something of inconsistency here.
that the amnesia victims do not
react to the same situation the same
way-they are more honest about
the whole thing the second time
even though they are the same peo-
pie. It might be, of course, that
these sophisticates of M-G-M's gilt
tering comedies are supposed to be,
not characters, but caricatures, in
which case consistency would not
have to be one of their jewels.
Anyhow this does not matter very
much, for it is all in fun and it is
fun. Greer Garson's role is far
cry from the one she had in Good
by Mr.. Chips about as far a cry
as a short-wave radio program
would travel on cold, dark night
but she is very fine for all of that.

Alibang and his staff pull on those
harassed whites and audiences who
catch THE Real Glory"
While it is definitely going "all
out" for Observation-Disclosures not
always achieving 1.-THE picture has
its pauses for the development of the
major characters along lines of clar-
lty. Cooper's part is that of the
army doctor, man of science who
is laconically indifferent both to the
discipline of the army and the danger
OF fighting the Moros single-handed.
Romance is injected into it through
the presence of Miss Leeds, the
daughter of stubborn, LITERAL
minded captain who thinks the
Moros ought to be fought out of
book. Miss Leeds necessarily is in
love with Mr.. Cooper and the two of
them work some tender moments into
their affection when the air is not
being made hideous with spears and
bullets.
Niven is around for comedy relief
as we'll as drama, the former growing
out of the fact that he is an Irish
man given to lyrical speech to
women and a superb disdain for his
superior officers. Also handsomely
disposed among the characters of
THE Real Glory" is Broderick Craw-
ford. Mr.. Broderick, hulk of a man
as everyone knows, is by avocation
a nut on growing orchids, a very
funny avocation to be practicing
constantly in the midst of a Jungle
war. incidentally it gives him a
chance to handle one quick line that
is the dramas funniest, not to mem
ton its most mysterious in the way
it got by the Hays Office.
On the whole, "The Real Glory"
dramatizes an area of history that
had its strange excitement, and does
a good, If not altogether brilliant Job
of it.

Samuel Goldwyn, who produced the
picture, it still is the most novel
thrill since an airplane (not the
stork) brought son to Tarzan.
In selecting that as the most in
teresting detail of 1.-THE Real Glory"
there is no intent to minimize the
martial melodrama which Goldwyn
found in the conquest of civilization
over the Moros in the century's in
fancy. That was dramatic strug-
gle, full of menace, suspense, ro-
nance, the whole of it busted lightly
with humor. The GoldWyn narra-
tive, which stars Gary Cooper,
Andrea Leeds and David Niven,
renders the excitement of it all with
skill which obscures the circum-
stances that it is familiar material
in spite of the new locale.
The story concerns the with
drawal of the American forces keep
ing order on the Island of Mindanao.
after America assumed its protec-
torate over the Philippines. The
leaving Of the troops put the defense
of the islands up to the native con-
stabulary, Offered by a few coura-
geous Americans; a combination
which has gone down in history as
one always outnumbered, never
outfought." Inevitably there was to
be test between the Moros and the
little Mysang Garrison, and the sus-
pense leading up to the climactic
struggle has been handsomely built
up by Director Henry Hathaway.
When the battle finally comes, the
Aim assumes the true Goldwyn pro-
portions, wild movement on a scale
that is positively prodigious. Chief
tan Alibang "a phonetic spelling
plucked straight from the Palace
screen) is supported by the largest
and most murderous looking gang
OF savages that ever swung a bolo
or set spear trap in the jungle.
Moreover, any one who is naturally
disposed to put the adjective sim
