II only to celebrate the liberation
of the camera from the human
twaddle hich once was the limit of

Gregory La Cava, who can work
miracles of revelation out of the
private lives of something less than
the so-called best people. has do
mated his best offices to this story
of girl struggling against an un-
savory environment. Other inhab-
itants of the environment, to show
you what she is up against, include
grandmother, whose favorite sport
is recalling her lurid past; mother,
who is trying to conceal her rather
loose present. and father, whose
degree from Harvard has made him
one Of the most successful alco-
holics Of his generation. Unnice

things that are too much for him.
The truculent young man, through
whose turbulence audiences always
could zee q better actor than he was
allowed to be. makes the most Of
his rich opportunity to be different.
Vincent Sherman has outntted his
little problem Of . young couple
seeking bliss In matrirnony with Just
the right people to bring it OF con-
vincingly. Anne Shirley In the role
Of the pretty little bride, who works
to supplement the family income
until the depression sweeps her out
OF q Job. makes telling thing Of the
role which Jane Bryan and Olivia
De Havilland turned doWn-the silly
things. The failure father Of the
girl, = fellow whose paternal love
makes up for his economic futilty,
might have been q sappy gent in
lesser hands than those Of Claude
Rains. He is not in lesser hands,
however, 50 1t turns out all right.
So does the role Of Florrie, the
schening, luxury -yearning elder
sister, which Is left to Lee Patrick,
and that Of the mother, whose de-
cades Of going to the movies have
kept her from ever finishing that
sweater she is knitting for father,
played by Elizabeth Risdon.
The fearful moments Of "Satur-
days Children" are interspersed with
. great many highly humorous ones.
Dennie Moore, the gal with that
brave Bronx infection, is spotlighted
In . number Of the latter. As q clerk
In that mail order house, where
everyone save mother worked, Miss
Moore Is always looking up from
her desk on the chance that any
passing male may prove to be the
Prince Charming for whom she al
ways Is trying, and always failing,
to achievea cultured form of speech.
Miss Moore has laughable way with
any line ending in IF you don't mind
my manner Of speaking" and most
OF her lines do end that way.
The most affecting sequences,
naturally, are those in which Gar
field and Miss Shirley come to
grips with the major fact of their
life. poverty so acute that they
cannot lay their hands on the very
simple things their hearts desire,
shelter and sufficient food. In
catching the drama of that situa-
ton back in 1924, Anderson did a
superb Job Of anticipating what
young love would be facing, bravely
and hopelessly, in 1910. Played
quietly. the desperation of the sit
uation has the greater emphasis.
It all adds up to a slice of life
which the movies have presented
In affecting fashion; something very
easy to recommend.

Things Were
Different in
Those Days
One Million B. c.
Dreams of Past .
At the Met

Things were different 1901 $40
years ago. They used clubs then,
and the lad who could clonk his
fellows hardest with his club was
the boss. This is part of the lesson
of Hal Roach's lone Million BE-
the cheerful fantasy at the Metro
politan, which gayly disregards sci
entif1c evidence to people the age
of the dinosaurs with race of man
kind of rather modern physique
One Of the physiques belongs to
young lady named Carole Lands
and is very modern in fact.
Another lesson of Mr.. Roach's
fairy tale is that woman was ever
thus. There is this boorish boy
from the Rock People who meets
lovely lass from the Shell People
and is reformed for his pains. With
no more ammunition than her
feminine wiles (what more do you
want?-Ed) she teaches him that
the cooperative ways Of the Shell
People are better than brawling
over the choicest hunk Of baked
bront- ,aurus, that politeness to
ones elders is quality to be de-
sired, that the smile is mightier
than the club. In the end the two
tribes are united by the love Of
these two in a bond of friendship
which no doubt would have spread
a pink glow over the landscape had
technicolor been known 1901 $40
years ago.
You will not believe q word of
zone Million &c." or rather you
will not believe scene Of it, the
people of this prehistoric day not
having any appreciable number of
words for you to believe or dis
believe. But you do not have to
take it seriously to enjoy it. Mr..
Roach's archaeological and an
thropological (don't ask us how
those words got in here) fantasy
has been field day for the boys
In his technical department. They
have achieved some very fine mon
sters of the dinosaur family and
their cousins, even staged a battle
to the death between two of them,
and have brought OF a volcanic
eruption and earthquake that will
make you think the world really is
shaking under your feet. Or was
1t yesterday afternoon?
In addition to Miss Lands the
fortnight people of "One Million
BIC" are played as sympathetically
as possible by Victor Mature IAN
immature Raymond Massey In ap-
pearance), Lon CLANCY, jr., and
some other people. 1t is only to be
