The Socker had us most nearly
spellbound, which we seldom are
after all that experience with
luncheons and speakers, when he
told an anecdote illustrative of the
therapeutic value of the movies.
Without the quotes, which merely
consume newsprint in many cases,
the story went like this:
It's central figure was a combat
fatigue case of such seriousness that
he was constantly under the guard
of two men. AS they were walking
through an Army hospital one day,
it occurred to one of the guards that
they might take the poor chap into
the movies. AS they sat in their
seats at the back of the theater, the
Socker said, the boys condition was
one of frightening rigidity. His arm
muscles were as hard as steel and
the guards kept close watch on him.
At the END of 20 minutes, he was
completely relaxed and his guards,
for the first time, decided to leave
him completely salone. At the end
of the picture, routine musical,
the lights came up and the battle
shocked lad was weeping quietly.
It's all right" he said softly.
I've seen my sister, and elm trees,
and maple trees, and American tele-
phones, and American books, and
heard American girls singing Amer
ican songs. It's all right. I'm well
enough now to go back"
We thought it was quite a touch
ing story and so did woman at the
next table who dabbed at her eyes
with her handkerchief while we
watched her out of the corner of
ours.
We have been so charmed by
Margaret O'Brien. and she has been
so busy, that we have not yet man
aged to interview her We expect,
however, to get in more than few
polite sentences before she goes back
to Hollywood where she is the most
illustrious seven-year-old in the
community.
So far, the interview at three
meetings has gone to this limited
extent:
Hello" she said.
Hello" we replied in a kind of
awed voice
Margaret waited politely for us to
continue.

Eleanor Parker will be teamed
with Humphrey Bogart in Conf
dental Agent" Which reminds
me, it was bad luck for Miss Parker
that she had Faye Emerson in THE
Very Thought of You" With Faye's
marriage to Col. Elliott Roosevelt,
interest was somewhat withdrawn
from Eleanor, although her picture
was fortunately released little
ahead of Faye's marriage.
The same thing, in different way,
happened to Dolores Moran in ITO

tional success of Lauren Bacall in
