Mrs. Miniver," which stars Greer
Carson and Walter Pidgeon, is the
more splendid as piece of inspired
screen story telling in that it was
written with no such end In mind.
Jan Struther, author of the original
wrote a series of vignettes of a
vibrant upper middle-class Eng
lishwoman in wartime. They made
good reading but their disconnected
form left 1t up to four Metro
Goldwyn Mayer writers to rewrite
them into great movie. They met
the requirement nobly with fin
ished script that has caught the
courage, the humor, the terror and
the tragedy of war, not In abstract
terms but In the understandable
ones of the very human hearts Of
the villagers of Belham, England.
That makes Mrs. Miniver" the
perfect picture for its times.
The impact of MRS. Miniver" lies
In it's simplicity above all its other
qualities. 1t answers the questions
of what happens to life in wartime,
intimate family life represented in
It's smallest and in its most des-
perate moments.
Every moment of war is dramatic,
the picture insists, and proves Its
rightness in score OF ways. 1t Is
dramatic, for instance, when pretty
Mrs. Miniver, rushing home to her
gentle, adoring husband and family,
pauses to be extravagant just once
more in the purchase of a hat. 1t
Is dramatic when she is told by the
old station master of Belham that
he has cultivated prize-winning
rose and named 1t after her at the
risk of dire reprisal on the part of
the towns stormy old dowager.
These are passages to amuse and
charm, perfect preludes for the ones
of deeper and more deadly impact
which are to come. Included among
the latter are so many that could
have been overdone: The night
Clem Miniver leaves home myste-
riously and is gone for maddening
days to aid in the evacuation of
Dunkerque; when Mrs. Miniver is
trapped in the kitchen with T. des-
perate, wounded Nazi flyer: when
she and her husband and the young
est Minivers spend a night Of blitz
inferno In the bomb shelter while
their home above Is wrecked.
The Minivers are not idealized in
to heroic proportions in these dra-
matte interludes. They are people
strange to war and frightened by 1t,
yet brave in their faith and strong
In their sense OF right. They And

its overemphasis on the speech man
nerisms peculiar to jitterbug- con-
scious youngsters, but otherwise
steers sufficiently clear Of the odious
to make wholesome. harmless en-
tertainment for young and feminine
movie patrons. Even the films
stark naivete will not be found
other than completely fitting to Miss
Temples personal charm.
If one were to search for the most
outstanding qualities marking the
new Shirley Temple. her ability to
be natural would be the most arrest
ing factor. When she is being fond
of her film parents, she does not
register fondness in forced, rapid
manner. When she is chastely
counting with her first love" she
does so without apparent self
consciousness, in so far as her pub

their neighbors, great and small, the
picture shows without apology and
not too sentimentally the class dis
tinctions which are dying in Eng
land :. are in proportions recog-
nizably true and credible.
The tone of understatement, or
of quiet statement, is constantly
present even in scenes more dra-
matte than those mentioned above
1t prevails in the deeply moving
passage in which Mrs. Miniver's S
daughter-in-law Is killed by bomb
fragment and in the unforgettable
one when the mother waits for her

In keeping this muted tone
throughout the rich and varied in

Wyler has caught the implication
of the quiet, high and admirable
courage of the English. Coincident-
ly. he has enormously heightened
the impact Of the tale he has to tell.

Earlier Story on Pare A-5D

Earlier Story on Page A-5)
Federal action may be necessary
to eliminate State and local trans
portation bottlenecks which prevent
full use OF railroad and highway
automotive transportation in the
war program, Joseph B. Eastman,
director of the Once of Defense
Transportation, declared this aft
ernoon In addressing the Federal
State Conference at the Commerce
Department.
In session and for other reasons, it
may not be possible to remove these
obstacles through voluntary action
by the States, Mr.. Eastman said.
Limitations on Railroads.
"The Federal authorities will well
come the help OF the States In franz
ing emergency legislation" he told
the conference. The legislation
should be 50 drawn, he explained,
"as to preclude any action except
for the purpose of accomplishing
better utilization of domestic trans
portation facilities for the successful
prosecution OF the war, and only
where it appears that there will be
no resultant public injury which
will transcend in Importance the
expected benefits"
In railroad transportation the
principal obstacles. Mr.. Eastman
said, are local limitations on the
length of trains and conflicting reg
ulations as to the number of men
required for train crews.
The highway transportation situa-
ton is even more serious, as a re-
suit Of conflicting rules governing
the size and weight Of trucks and
buses and the licensing and taxa
ton OF motor carriers, he said.
Restrictions on highway trans
portation. Mr.. Eastman charged, are
due in part to "the desire of the
railroads to limit or embarrass the
competition which they encounter
from motor trucks and buses"
THE railroads and their en-
ployes, who are powerful politically,
have been extremely active In seek
ing State restrictions upon the size
and weight of motor vehicles. and
in opposing any Federal remedial
legislation" he said.
