frequently one can observe, in
a group of pre-school children,
that a child comforts and fondles
friend who has hurt himself;
or an older child comes to the
rescue of a younger or weaker
one.
Parents sometimes observe that
one brother or sister will cry
along with the other who is be-
ing punished or he will take sides
with him against the parent who
may represent an authority which
seems cruel and unfair.
While young child should
never be urged to express SYM
pathy which he does not feel
c'Poor sister, go tell her how sorry
you are'D, we can foster in chill
dren the ability to have "fellow-
feeling. Thus, as the child ma
lures he may gradually be aware
of wanting to help or defend
others and so develop an impor-
tant ingredient Of social sensi-
tivity.
HOW sympathetic young child
is depends to large degree upon
the kind of family he lives with.
Parents who brush off a child who
is hurt or in trouble, with That's
nothing, you're too big girl to
cry" or "Come now, be a little
man." will not make a child
stronger or more independent by
so doing. If they fail to give COM
fort when the child needs it, they
are apt to make him feel neg
lected, resentful. and to become
oblivious to the troubles of others
because he has been taught that
these things are unimportant.
The mother who becomes ex-
cited and overly emotional when
her child is hurt will certainly
make him concerned about him
selw and fearful of other mis-
haps. It is important. however,
to comfort hurt or troubled

these would have made THE De-
cision of Christopher Blake" a real
screen achievement, but the genuine
essence is not there. A boys dreams
may not be too elusive for young
Donaldson, but they are for his
elders.
The best of the realistic passages
in the Warner feature is that in
which the Judge, Kellaway, and
young Donaldson work out the cli-
max Of Christopher's decision. Here
the picture is blessed with a sin

Even If such wooden parents a.

an honest love and an abiding
loyalty to both. That two such fine
people as he conceives them to be
cannot find true bliss together, as
he has found it with them both,
leaves him appalled,. Suddenly,
shockingly, his is not the world he
knew for IL happy years. He there

Moreover, he does this quite un-
selfishly, for it is not for himself,
but for the two people he loves
most, that he must restore life to
normal.
1t is when his pathetically prac-
tical efforts to achieve this let him
down that he turns to his brave,
childish dreams. The progression of
these fantasies is dramatically Wis
ualized by Author Hart. They start
when the lad sees a play, during
which, falling asleep, he writes a
great play about a little boy who
made his parents see how much
they love each other in their love
for him.

The picture which is based upon
Moss Hart's play, christopher
Blake" is at its best in the per-
formances of young Ted Donaldson
in the title role and of Cecil Kella-
way as the divorce Judge. The
Donaldson lad finds a sincerely
moving character in Playwright
Hart's tormented small boy. Kella-
ways Judge is a man whose dis
taste for his job, and for divorce
seekers generally, Is most engag-
ing human.
There is little either of these can
do to compensate for the ennervat-
ing performances of Alexis Smith
and Robert Douglas as the estranged
parents of poor Christopher. Their
juggling of the cliches of estrange-
ment is a sad exhibition in quite
another way than it was intended
to be sad.

Hart's play, which was not a gen.
uine success, nevertheless had more
imagination than many which do
become hits. It undertook to re-
veal what goes on in the tormented
child in a marital breakup. Its
means Of accomplishing this was to
visualize the pathetic day-dreams
of such a youngster, the wistful fam
tastes in which he is the means of
bringing his mother and father to-

1t has been said often enough
almost every time any sort OF q
new musical show comes up fol
comment-that the books of mu-
steals are not expected to make
sense. This old tradition of the
theater long since has been picked
up by Hollywood, where people
often seem to go out of their way
to pay. difference to it. There is
no law declaring that plots of mu-
sical films must be silly, but Uni

Countess of Monte Cristo," the
Capitol's new screen attraction.
It has been a long time since
the movies have given us a Sonia
Henie ice show, though. so we
probably should be thankful for any
breaking of the drought in that
quarter. Miss Henie still Is q trim,
attractive and personable young
woman, though this black-and-
white photography doesn't let her
sparkle the way color used to. - She
still can skate like a whiz, too. Hol-
lywood's economy wave can be
noted in the production numbers,
which are Monogram-lavish rather
than Goth Century lavish, but
this permits focusing attention on
Miss Henie, which isn't bad idea
at all.
The foolish fable which gets in
the way Of her skating, in solo and
with her partner, Michael Kirby,
casts Miss Henie and Olga San
Juan as a pair of barmaids imper-,'
sonating a countess and her maid.
They filch a Lincoln Continental
convertible from a movie lot under
circumstances which are Of little
interest and put up at a swank
hotel. There Miss Henie. the phony
countess, meets and falls in love
with a handsome officer who, we
could swear, says he is a member
of the cars personal guard. Figur-
ing out, how Miss Henie got her
hands on that 1948 convertible in
the days of the czar should keep
you busy enough to forget about the
plot and should be more rewarding
too.

ing, of which there isn't enough.

Beck Review Sister St. Hilary

Green Grass of Wyoming, by Mary O'Hara.
 This is the third of the trilogy by Mary O'Hara. following the career of the Mclaughlin family particularly the younger son, Ken. This third novel brings Ken into young manhood, and intro' duces a touching, youthful TO- nance into his life, with all it's attendant joys and griefs.
 Ken's passionate love of horses. of his own Flicka and Thunder head who figured 50 largely in the first two books. is in no wise dimmed by the more mature in terests which come to him with the process of growing up.
 
 It is a story of an ideal Amer- ican family. where parents are respected and children bound to- gether by deep and affection ate understanding Ken is still the dreamer, but has developed q sturdiness of character which enables him to see clearly what he wants most in life, and to w1k until he at ttains his end
 There is much drama in the story; the loss of 8 valuable rac- ing mare brings Carey Marsh, her owner, into the story and in- to Ken's horizon The search fer the horse, found at last with Thunderhead;s wild brood of ma, es, and the entry of both horses into the Delaware Hunt provides plenty of action.
 The writing is splendid some descriptions are magnificent, and the story deserves a place in A. merican literature al ng with it's predecessors. It is of general in- terest; those who have never been interested in riding will se- cretly wish they had expe ienced some of the breath-tak hg thrills that made up life at 'he Goose Bar Ranch
