He never spoke of marriage, and changed his

cafe tables And since he was fairly free with
buck, the supply was equal to the demand
When Franklin Benson was Is, most un
pleasant situation arose. The Japs hit Pearl

enough to notify Franklin that he might soon be
member of Uncle Sans Army
This had no. appeal whatsoever for the young
man. He made number of inquiries. and passed

From then on, all talk of war bored Franklin.
He was very busy with his own choice Of exist

from night club to bar. He always met the same
people, and they always said precisely the same
things they had said the night before.
The second time the draft board called him.
Franklin had legitimate ailment Stomach ul

Benson wouldn't listen He continued on his JOY.
Gus way He didn't sleep too we'll and the pouches
under his eyes resembled mail sacks at Christmas
But he didn't change the pace of his life.
AS matter of strict truth. there was little else
for him TO do. The theatre bored him Movies
annoyed him. Sports were for suckers Lectures
were for dopes And the only real reading he had
done in years was the labels on the bottles.
Came the day, then, that Franklin Benson
dropped into his attorneys office to see about
little extra money In the outer office was Hilda.

This will be a good week to do
that shopping you've been planning
to get out Of the way, thanks to "Son
Of Lassie," which opened yesterday.
You can deposit Junior at the Capt.
tol with complete peace of mind for
a good two hours. In the event that
you've already done the shopping,
however, we would advise you to
deposit Junior and let it go at that.
The kids will probably want to
see 1t twice. Never have there been
so many narrow escapes, so many
hair-raising adventures crowded
into anything less than 15-episode
serial. Sure and this Laddie is a
remarkable dog. Every bit as much
so as his father proved to be several
movie seasons ago. He balls out of
planes, gets shot at intermittently
by the Nazis, lodges enemy bombs
and is trapped in a mountain cabin
about to be blown up by dynamite.
But, II you think Laddie doesn't take
it all in his stride you're wrong
It's dogs life and he revels in it.
Devotion of a dog to his master
motivates the picture just as In the
first LaSSie movie, only this time
its Lassie's son Laddie who covers
himself with glory. The story con-
tinues to base its characters on Eric
Knights book with Donald Crisp
and Nigel Bruce playing their origi-
nal roles.
Peter Lawford merits the part of
Joe Carraclough, whose younger YER
sion Roddy Mcdowell created in
"Lassie Come Home" In addition,
there's June Lockhart to provide
romantic interest for Joe, and Nils
Asther as the handsome young Nor
wegian. If only Olaf didn't get
himself bumped of so early in the
picture even we might have stayed
to see it twice. Also expert Charles
Schoenbaum makes good use of an
opportunity to dazzle the audience
with some OF the most beautiful out
door shots yet filmed in technicolor.
If you saw the first Lassie movie
you probably remember that Lassie,
even as pup, was darn precocious,
always taking the right short cut
and arriving on the scene exactly
in the nick of time. Not poor Lad
