ferty. Pat lost the use of his legs years ago in William Scott's steel mill and always, though wrongly, has blamed the Scotts, father and sons. for his accident.
 From the moment she meets Paul (Peck), who returns from Europe just as Mary Rafferty is hired by the Scotts, she falls in love with him and he with her. More than he does, she fights against this, in the belief that her station in life does not permit her to think of marrying Paul.
 Twice, Mary finds herself faced with the greatest challenge a woman ever faced. Everything a woman longs for is at her command . but she gives up happiness and mar riage, riches and security-because she loves him too much!
 The picture mounts to a stirring climax that you will long remember, with the two stars and such sterling supporting players as Lionel Barry more, Donald Crisp, Marsha Hunt, Dan Duryea, Preston Foster and Gladys Cooper, among many others, turning in outstanding perform ances.
 Everyone will deeply enjoy "The Valley of Decision"

So you think you've seen every thing as far as musicals are con- eerned? Frankly he thought so too-- that is, until Where Do We Go From Here?" opened today at Loew- Poli theater. Tor the new 20th Gen. tury Fox Technicolor musical star ring Fed MacMurray, Joan Leslie and June Haver, is by far the most Helightfully different picture that has ever come out of Hollywood, and one of the most wonderful packages of high spirited fun to reach the screen.
 The film tells a denciously zany, out-of-this-world story written by Pulitzer prize winner Morrie Rvs Kind, set against wonderfully witt ty and captivating musical score by Ira Gershwin and Kurt Weill. Ger shwin's lyrics and Weill,s melodies (double check If Love Remains" and "All At Once'0 blend into a richly refreshing pattern with the exciting story.
 Fred MacMurray, frantic and frustrated 4-F, would move heaven and earth to get into the Army. Even though Joan Leslie loves him. the true object of his affections - 'khaki-whacky" June Haver - will have nothing to do with him in ''civies."
 You'll laugh, marvel and sing the songs as Fred, and June do in this film. Blazing brilliant and gay- hearted new path in motion picture entertainment, the story of a fellow who wanted only to make love = not history will give you a full program of entertainment.
 On the same program Molly And Me" gives us Oracle Fields whom the whole civilized world knows and loves. The great "Beard' = the one and only Monty Woolley = has a veritable field day in the role of a wealthy Englishman, who, embit- tered by martial scandal. cherishes stony solitude only to have Oracle and boisterous theatri- cal colleagues invade his sanctuary. The screen fairly crackles with each flip of his trip-jointed tongue. Never had he had such grand lines, never has his performance been more en- joyable.

 FRENCH INVASION
 Hollywood anticipates talent raid in reverse once the French film industry is re-established. A number of French-speaking Holly wood stars have been quietly ap- preached to see if they would be interested in making picture or two there. Gene Tierney, who was

sisting of a father and nothet, their daughter-in-law and her son and daughter. The son-husbaud= father of the group is flyer til Europe who hopes to get hozae soon. But he is shot down over Germany and killed. Onto the scene then comes the spirit of the flyer, unseen to the family, oE course. and his guide in the after world, veteran of the first World War, the Unknown Soldier. I1ac flyer is concerned about how his family will take the news when the tragic telegram comes from the War Department and yearns to be able to prepare them for the shock.
 But after they get the news and show their grief in varied ways, his main concern is that each shall not draw into his own shell of sorrow but that all co-operate in bearing the burden of loss iz1 keeping his memory green. How Nelson resolves this is done with some tricks of fantasy best left to the viewing of the play.
 There are spots in the play that consist of some pretty childish writing and thinking and I doubt if anyone so bereaved is going ts get a great deal of comfort out of it. because this sort of thing b something only each individual can resolve for himself. As . gen- eral criticism I'll point out that 2 play with such theme has to bs just a little better than 8 niofe mundane drama to be winner. It should send you out of the the- ater walking on air. I felt the floor all the way to the exit.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1945-07-11

Now, I'm not ripsnorting fan for this drama, but it is a decent attempt and seems to indicate that this Nelson may be a good fellow to have around when the war is over. And it's only fair to report that a few of the critical gentry whipped their typewriters into a lather over the play. Of course, it was during hot week when type writers easily can get into a sweat.
 Anyway, Nelson looks like more than a flash in the pan. Two years ago his short play Mail Call" was one of five acters by servicemen chosen for Broadway presentation under the group title of Army Play by-Play". Tn 1914 he won the Ma tional Theater Conferences first prize for long play and turned the trick again this year with the aforementioned "The Wind Is Ninety"
 The Shuberts and Albert de Courville, the latter directing, have ushered The Wind Is Ninety" to Broadway and given it a good pro- duction, with such capable people as Bert Lytell, Blanche Yurka, Kirk Douglas. Wendell Corey, Frances Reid, Roy Sterling and the two Van Patten kids, Joyce and brother Dickie. All of the action takes place in a wonderful set designed by Frederick Fox which represents the front lawn and porch of a typical small-town home.
 Nelson is concerned with the Iiv- ing who remain when warrior Is killed and also with the warrior. For the living there should be surcease from sorrow in the thought that the loved one is still with them if they'll only think so. And the dead should have the comfort that can come from know ing they will not be forgotten.
 To work out this theme the author takes a family group con-
