hands. Fleetwood Peyton (Hard-
wicke), James brother, symbol
ICES the rigid aristocratic order,
wealthy adherents to form and
privilege.
James heart triumphs over her
background, she marries Matt and
they begin a life in the back
country. Jane enters willingly
enough into the toll involved but
strictly for the sake of lifting her
and her husband high above their
neighbors. Matt, the democratic,
the liberty-lover, humors her I'm
til the showdown - the call to
fight for American freedom. He
is a man who heeds the challenge;
Jane and her family see only the
wreckage the fight will bring, and
which it does, to their interests.
Touching and significant is
Mats relations to his two boys.
To Peyton, the cripple, he is cold.
To James,, the strong, he pins IL
hope-until ultimately, in stress of
war, he finds in Peyton the
champion of his own ideas.
The film is ''talky," yet for it's
picture of Colonial life it holds
interest. Grant, once you forget
his comedy past, is impressive.
The work of Miss Scott excels
her "Our Town" debut, and Rich
ard Carlson is so human as the
young Jefferson that you can al
most forget the historical aspects
of the character. Sir Cedric takes
the acting cake for his cold, en-
Uttered portrait of Fleetwood.

BROCKTON, Mass, Sept. 10-I
often wonder just how d pastor feels
when, after hours, maybe days, of
preparation, he goes to church on Sun
day to deliver his sermon and faces
an almost empty church. What is hap
pening to us? There was a time when
Sunday morning almost always
brought the whole congregation to
church, but now the pastor would
probably consider it wonderful if even
one member of every family were
present. 1t is really sinful the way our
people are falling by the wayside as
far as the church is concerned. 1t is
time we started waking up. After all,
the church is the only thing we have
in this city that really belongs to us
