when one has gone back to his own
less dramatic emotions.
Sharing the pictures distinctions
with Miss Carson are Ronald Col
man as its extraordinarily beset
hero, James Hilton as its richly
sentimental author and Sidney
Franklin as its producer director
Also it is blessed with the presence
of young Susan Peters who plays the
role of a pert, hurt child with a
feeling that comedies nothing to the
class of her elders in the cast. You
will find Miss Peters more than
slightly splendid.
Not since Mr.. Chips" has Author
Hilton been in such richly senti-

he has found pair of completely
captivating lovers a she'll
shocked, amnesia victim hero and
the beautiful young music hall
singer who undertakes to defend
him from the world They are two
people so wonderfully in love. so
sore beset by circumstance, and so
effectively portrayed by Miss Carson
and Colman that the question of i'm
plausibility never rears its con-
founding head. That is one of the
triumphs of Random Harvest" for
in looking back upon 1t in coldly
calculating way one can see how
lesser performances might have
raised precisely that question.
The war as an element of Ran
dom Harvest" is merely an overtone
which heightens the drama of the
romance. 1t is not this war, but
the last one and it enters into the
narrative merely as an explanation
of the shell-shock which Colman
suffers. .
He is in uniform only in the early
expository passages. Thereafter he
is almost, but not quite, any amnesia
victim, a fellow fascinatingly en-
gagged in carrying one love through
two lives.
Miss Carson as its object makes it
the kind OF love that any man might
well carry through twice that many
eXistenceS. Its essence is sacrifice,
always acute but never unreason-
able, as sacrifice is sometimes wont
to be. 1t is entirely comprehensive
that she should love Colman when
he is stammering, hesitant, sensi-
tive chap who cannot remember his
name br any of his past life. And
1t is quite as comprehensive after
he has regained his first memory,

but can recall nothing of the am
nesia period, not even the lovely
face and deep devotion Of Miss
Carson, who is serving as secretary
to his highly successful businessman
1t would be quite a trick for most
actresses TO play such a part without
evoking impatience, but Miss Gar
son does it to an accompaniment of
unadulterated admiration and en-
thusiasm.
AS the man with two lives with
one love, and that one turned vague
almost to the point of madness in
the second phase of his life, Colman
is highly blessed in the role of
Charles Rainier. 1t is thing of
almost infinite complexity and deli
cacy, as pretending not to remem-
ber Miss Carson even through am
neSia would be. Colman, however,
is an actor conditioned by long serv-
ice to romance of the higher type to
do a much more than ample por-
trait of Hilton's prepossessing, SYM
pathetic hero.
The acting surprise Of Random
Harvest" perhaps, is young Miss
Peters. Starting off as a slightly
reprehensible, precocious girl, she
evolves wonderfully into the visit
full young lady who must compete
with the ghost love in the heros
non-amnesic phase. Her renuncia-
ton scene with Colman in the
chapel Of Random Hall the day
before their programmed wedding
is one Of the most poignant mo-
ments of picture that is rather
replete with them.
The adaptation OF Hilton's story,
by the author with the collaboration
of those inevitable other writer's in
Hollywood. is highly skilled piece
OF work which shows a nice aware
ness that the camera is lot more
versatile instrument than a type
writer. 1t shows a constant obedi-
ence to the laws of logic, as does
the direction, when it must have
been quite a strain not to take ad-
vantage Of the fact that amnesia is
a capricious and fanciful subject.

Tom Pryor, Cpl. John Bren- nan, Pfc. Aurelio Calaceto, Pvt. John "Pop" Brophy and Pvt. Alvin ''Junior" Hix returned from their soiree to Springfield and River side Park last Sunday night. By the way, have you noticed the new ash trays in the Orderly Room of late?. They were donated by some well-to-do persons. Thanks are in order for their thoughtful ness.
 Ask Cpl. Virgin Harrison why the interest all of a sudden in Hart ford. It seems that he visits there every night. The night work which 1st Sgt. Elmer J. Truman has been doing lately is beginning to show on him Mavhe if is from "Too Many Cigarettes ?". By the way just who is responsible for this quickie?
