with his treatment Of Georges life
on the plane Of simple, hearty nat
uralism. His pictures best moments
are those when it twists aside into
fantasy. When the going gets too
rough. George wishes he were dead.
just to show him the awful folly
of that, his guardian angel grants.
Georges wish. This is only for long
enough to let him see how many
lives he has Influenced for happi-
ness, lives which otherwise must
have been sad, cruel, or wicked. But
it is long enough to convince George
and audiences that this really is a
wonderful life in ways that perhaps
too few understand.
" " X Il
The story which Albert and Flor
ence Hackett wrote with Capra for
"It's a Wonderful Life" Is another
Of those biographies of the COM
mon man which finds no fact of
life too small for meaning. Being
about George, it also has to be
about all of Bedford Falls, the high
school, drug store and also about
the building and loan association.
These are merely stages, of course,
set with all kinds of people, the
girl George courts and marries; the
towns cab driver and its cop; the
Italians who work in the mills and
stores; and especially the acquisi-
tive old william who wants to own
the whole community.
The minor weakness of the films
story is that 1t seems at times to
deal destiny an over-strong hand
in its game with George. He is a
Illustrate and Stewart makes him a
dramatic one always. He wants to
leave Bedford Falls, to 60 to college
and learn how to build great COM
munities for little people. He never
leaves Bedford Falls and he never
goes to college. Instead, he inherits
the direction Of the building and
loan association, and the infinite
woes that 60 with its management.
Sadly enough, and humorously,
too, he never even gets away for his
honeymoon.
There is an infinitude Of detail
in Tits a Wonderful Life" and
Capra knows how to keep 1t en-
gaging by keeping 1t always human.
So does Stewart, an old expert at
the business, who brings new
sureness to the job of building a
character. Together, director, star
and an impressive lesser cast ex-
plore every angle of small town life
and never fail to come up with the
laugh or the tear they had in mind
when they started.
+ X II
Stewards performance amounts to
a tour de force in Capra's picture,
but 1t is expertly played down to
the smallest bit. No big-hearted
little man ever had more under
standing wife than the one played
by Donna Reed. Nor did any ever
find himself more engagingly tu-
tored by q guardian angel such as
Henry Travers.
These are rich minor roles, but
no richer than such others as the
villainous municipal Scrooge Of
Lionel Barrymore or the stumble
bum uncle of George played by
Thomas Mitchell.
It may not work out, as some
Of his best friends have predicted,
that this is the century of the COM
mon man.
"It's a Wonderful Life" how
ever, Is certainly his picture.

Jackson Day Dinner Big Flop

LOS ANGELES, (Pl-A Jack son Day dinner gave California Democrats a touch of political in- digestion today.
 The discomfort occurred after two principal speakers represent ing the national administration failed to appear at last nights $25 to Sl00-a-plate banquet.
 Secretary of the treasury John Snyder telegraphed regEets, plead ing a suddenly called cabinet meeting as the reason he couldn't be here. Then Gael Sullivan, ex- ecutive director of the Democratic party, withdrew after arriving here, citing a hurry call back to Washington for conferences with President Truman.
 Los Angeles political writers openly viewed the situation as a political slap at James Roosevelt, eldest son of the late President and chairman of the Califo mia State Central committee, and as indication of rift between con- servative Democrats and support CTS of Henry A. Wallace.
 The principal speaker last night, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt, the late Presidents widow, talked On note of world unity and peace.

 He promised American econo- mic assistance and support "so far as it may be practical"
 And at the same time he pledg- ed the United States to oppose "any government which maneu- vers to block the recovery of other countries"
 Without naming any foreign country or party, Marshall de- clared in the outline of an address prepared for meeting of the liar ward alumni association:
 Governments, political parties or groups which seek to perpetu- ate human misery in order to profit therefrom politically or otherwise will encounter the op- position of the United States"
 Marshall did not specify how much money the American gov ernment intends to make avail able but said Europe must have substantial additional help" dur ing the next three to four years or "face economic, social and politi- cal deterioration of a very grave character"
 The cabinet officers call for a joint effort by European countries to develop a reconstruction blue print represented the first step of the new State Department ap- proach to the problem of world wide rehabilitation.
 The secretary declared tour pol icy is directed not against any country or doctrine but against hunger. poverty, desperation and chaos"
