is a considerably better story in
bond tours than this one. This one
looks artificial, somewhat familiar
and a little bit forced. 1t tugs at
. the heart here and there, but more
. through your vulnerability to young
! war heroes than through its own
emotional impact.
After all the pleasant things that
Paramount has had to say of her,
1t would be proper no doubt to well
come Miss Scott with open arms in
this, her first starring vehicle. She
looks rather like a combination of
Lauren Bacall and Paramount's own
Veronica Lake. 1t is the sort of
look that makes you wish "a girl well
in a new glamour job, but not all of
your wishes, or Miss Scotts for that
matter, turn her into a polished
actress. A girl like that should not
have to seem to be trying with
fierce earnestneSs to do what the
director is obviously telling her.

picture, both of which could stand
q little help.

concerting to Miss Scott as their
manager, especially in the case of
Cummings, for whom she develops
an almost instantly romantic at
taChment.
In addition to showing the light
hearted approach of the flying
heroes to their Treasury assign

portunity to give you a laugh at
some of the civilians attached to
the bond pitch routine-the hope
lessly windy chairmen Of the COM
mittees, the efforts of local groups
to establish their personal tie-ins

These provide some of the comedy
passages which relieve the monot-

The undertoneS of that kind of a

but You Came Along takes a sub

situation. At least it does so to the
extent of stressing the brave, if
somewhat hollow, laughter of which
the principal characters are capable
And, as to bravery, there is enough
of it in Producer Wallis to allow his

Y WORKER HURT
ASSISTING YANKS

A YMCA worker, daring death
10 speed the evacuation OF Amerl-
can and British war prisoners
from camps in Germany, was shot
and seriously wounded, it was re-
vealed today by J. B. Huntington
general secretary Of the YMCA
here. Gunner Celander. the ''Y"
worker, according to the secre-
tary, was felled as he aided IN
the evacuation of captives from
Oflag TX Az.
News Of the casualty, Mr.. Hun
tington said, was cabled the New
York headquarters of the YMCA
War Prisoners Aid and relayed to
"Y" officials throughout the coun-
try. The cable also revealed that
the YMCA. fleet of trucks in Ger
many had been split in two units,
one to transport food to prisoners
and the other to carry wounded
unable to stand the rigors OF fore
cd marches in prison camp shifts.
Units carrying food to prison
camps, he pointed out, have been
loaned to the International Red
Cross. The food situation among
prisoners Of war is believed to be
improved, the cable stated, WITH
neutral workers and German au-
thorities striving to bring some
order out of the chaotic condi-
tons resulting from the victorious
Allied advances. Hundreds OF
trucks are now being operated by
the Red Cross to get relief sup
plies to the prisoners.
because large quantities Of sup
plies were lost to the prisoners
as result of abandoning camps
in the face of Allied onslaughts,
supplies now are being repacked in
Geneva in special units to serve
1000 men. This permits greater
hexibility in serving the prisoners
when they reach permanent
camps"
Mr.. Huntington said that the
cable which originated in London
disclosed that new offices for the
YMCA have been opened in Lu-
beck in northern Germany, and in
Biberach and Ravensburg in the
south. They are linked in the over
all aid picture, he said, by Costa
Lundin, director Of YMCA work
in Germany. who makes a regu-
lar swing through one of the most
bomb-razed areas in the world.
Information from London, the
general secretary said, indicates
that many prisoner camps have
been crammed into southern Ger
many. Neutral workers, he added, !
estimate that perhaps millions of
Allied troops are held in these
camps. The YMCA, Mr.. Hunting
ton said, despite the breakdown of
German transportation facilities,
is still serving ian astonishing
number of prisoners.
