Movies Fail
To Patch Up
MARRIAGES
Nv RUTH MILLETT

A Chicago judge recently tried a
new experiment in the h ope OF
patching up three marrlages-bu'
it turned out to be a flop.
He sent three divorce headed
couples to a movie about wartime
marital troubles. 1.-The Impatient
Years" But instead Of coming
back to the judge in the mood
for saying they were ready to
patch up their difficulties and try
to make a 60 of their marriages
the couples remained uncon-
WINGED.
The Judge should have known
better than to expect to use a
movie as a means of reconcilia-
ton between fighting husbands
and wives. Even the happiest cou-
pies can find something to fight
about when going to a movie.
To begin with. when the movie
hour rolls around. chances are the
wife will be raring to go, and the
husband will have decided he'd
rather stay at home after all.
Mating Miracle
And if both of them enjoy the
same kind of movies, it's a mira
Gle of perfect mating. Then, too,
odds are in favor of the wife's
taking so long to put on her face
and her hat that her husband will
veil at her before they start: If
we can't get in at the start OF the
movie-let's Just stay home"
And, life being what it is, men
who like to sit way down front
invariably marry girls who like to
see their movies from a distance.
And there's always a sour note
if the man in back has to ask the
little woman to remove her hat
or if the husband laughs more up
rcariously than his wife thinks he
should and so gives him a nudge,
to keep still. for heavens sake.
And women being the inveterate
movie goers they are. there is a
chance that after the first few min
utes of movie the wife will say,
why I've already seen this NOV
ie' and either insist on leaving or
On staying, so as to be able to
tell her husband just what to ex-
pect.
No wonder the judges expert
ment failed.
