tance Of his ship scored a near
miss which caused some damage.
Incidentally. it was this near
miss which Brannon believes was
his nearest escape from injury. He
was at his duty station below
decks when the Jap bomb struck
nearby. The terrific force of the
explosion created damage all
around kim but again, he came
through uninjured.
There are plenty of other stories
of adventure. action and danger
which Petty Officer Brannon could
tell. But. for reasons of military
security most of them must remain
untold until after the war is ended
and peace is won.
Brannon is home on a 3O-day
leave under the navy's policy OF
allowing. wherever at all possible
men who have had long periods OF
sea In the battle areas, rest pc,

wounded, or to rest battle-frayed
nerves II not actually wounded.
At the conclusion Of lbs current
leave, Erannon expects to join his
ship for further duty ,afloat.
He wears a string of medals and
decorations-evidencing his. partl
cipation in many battles and sea
campaigns-that reaches halfway
across his chest
Brannon Is thinking that maybe
he'll stay in the navy after the wal
and follow the seagoing service as
career. He's also of tie opinion
common among most men Of the
navy-that "the navy is q prett,
good outfit to be In"
1t shouldn't be long before Bran

Brannon, q seaman second class
both OF whom are on sea duty.

Passenger Car
Tire Inspections
To Stop April 20
Does not mean tire picture
has improved, but that
program has fulfilled OBJ
jective of making people
conscious of need for rub
Der conservation.

Inspection of tires on passenger
cars is to be discontinued after
April 20, according to Harold Moag
secretary of Coolidge rationing
board. He pointed out this week
however, that this does not mean
that the tire picture has become
any brighter" but simply that the
inspection program has fulfilled
its objective - making motorists
conscious Of the great need for tire
conservation and care.
Moag also said that it is i'm
portant that motorists keep their
tire inspection records because
OPA will continue use of these
records in the gas rationing pro-
gram.

BY HAROLD HEFFERNAN.

Any one of your Al friends will
tell you it's no fun being placed in
that draft category, but for Holly
wood personality, it's just about the
end OF the rope. Those who know
Alan Marshal, handsome leading
man of White Cliffs of Dover" are
very sorry about his current pre-
dicament. Rejected by the Army,
but eager to do something, Marshal
went on personal appearance tour
of camps in the South. At several
of these sessions he was heckled by
soldiers in the audience. There were
cries of Why aren't you fighting?"
The actor completed his schedule,
but by the time he reached Holly
wood he had collapsed from a nerv-
GUS breakdown. He is still in the
hospital.
Marshal's case parallels those of
many other Hollywood actors of
his age and draft rating. He is IS
and appears in excellent health, yet
he, with many others. have been
rejected for military service. Many
Hollywood ATS have been razzed
by soldiers in the past and the more
sensitive ones can't take it.
Fellows like Cary Grant and
Spencer Tracy have confined their
activities to entertaining in the
hospitals.

transpire in that sorely harassed
country when the Allies march in

patton, all done up in timely and
entertaining fashion, even though
its factual side may be yet a mat

the things that happen to Claudette
Colbert, Jennifer Jones, Shirley
Temple, Joseph Gotten, etc, could
touch one family group is unlikely,
but it is only in retrospect that this
will occur to you. At the time, Mr..
Selznick and his all-star cast simply
keep you too diverted to permit any
questions, except possibly why he
had to make the picture two hours
and 81 minutes long.
The thesis with which SeEnick
subtly entertains in Since You
Went Away" is that the home front,
manned largely by women, has been
gallant, lonely, resourceful and gen.
orally pretty wonderful in the last
two and one-half years. 1t Is a many
sided mirror he and his large cast
hold up before the public, and it
is the canniness of his showmanship
that people will find themselves
imaged very prettily therein. Mr..
Selznick clearly found formula
for making popular picture with
out bothering to find the one to
make good one.
Since You Went Away" is Mr..
Selznick's own literary creation. 1t
is his script, those are his bright
est stars, and he has bet several
millions on it's success, which prob
ably will be returned to him in
pleasantly greater number.
His basic people are those OF Mrs.
Wilder's book of the same title.
They are Anne Hilton Miss Col
berD, whose husband went away to
war, leaving her to maintain the
home for their two daughters, Jane,
18 miss jones', and Brig, several
years younger miss Temple).
The problems begin to appear at
once. There is the money one, that
plague. It forces retrenchment in
the form Of the maid who has been
with the family since the children
were babies. 1t dictates renting the
Hiltons' room to gruf1, bombastic,
hard-to-please old Col. Smollett
Monty Woolley).
Life is crowding on the husband
less home, and most prominent in
the crowd is Mr. Gotten, a former
sutton of Mrs. Hilton's and still suffl-
GENTLY enthusiastic about her to be
uncertain of the honorableness of
his intentions. He is less upsetting
to her. however, than to adolescent
daughter Jane, who sees in his
worldliness and charm all that 18-
year-olds are convinced is perfec-
ton in a man.
Since You Went Away" has a lot
of womanly and girlish emotions to
deal with and the tenderness and
apparent understanding with which
they are handled gives the picture
some of its more poignant, as we'll
as its comic. passages. It's over
all cast is that every one is very
brave and, If not always intelligent,
will manage to muddle through with

no more than q minimum of scar
tissue to show for the experience
The emotionally imperturbable
member of the Hilton family is the
youngster played by Miss Temple.
Outside of being annoyed that her
father is not there to make life
simple, her main problem is scott
ing at the mawkishness of her
older sister. and blandly converting
pompous old Col. Smollett into a
human being.
The heavily dramatic moments
OF Since You Went Away" log
ically enough are those in which
the absent husband father is re-
ported missing by the War Depart
ment, the ultimately tragic blow
until the boy Jane falls in\ love
with is reported killed on a beach,
head in Italy. These are the high
point passages in the performances
of the Misses Colbert and Jones and
are handled with excellent restraint
by both.
It is one of the trickier appeals
of Selznick's picture that all Of the
people in 1t, save one, are attrac-
tive.
Old Col. Smollett is pretty much
Of a pompous heel in his attitude
toward his worshipful grandson,
James boyish sutton, but he works
out all right In the end and man
ages to give the picture some Of
its more humorous moments. There
is something always engaging, too,
in the halfhearted wolfishness In
Gotten, and especially winning is
the portrait of the inept young SOL
dier sutton of Jane played by Robert
Walker.
Miss Temples impersonation of
the younger daughter is an en-
tirely effortless thing in which she
is as perfectly at home among the
all-Star cast of the picture as If
she were playing again one of her
old infant roles.
On the whole, it is quite unlikely
that one family could have had so
much Of war happen to it, but it is
equally unlikely that any one will
bubble too much.
