that she had backed out of the drive right on
schedule when her friend and neighbor, Betty
Dawson, stopped her. Betty wondered if
Helen would accept some Christmas packages
tonight in case Betty wasn't home when the
delivery truck arrived, and Helen said, Yes,
of course she would, and had Betty decided
yet what she was going to give that handsome
husband of hers? Betty said, No, but she
thought she was getting an idea, and Helen
said she thought she was, too.
This took only minute or so, but by then
another neighbor was trying to get into his
drive just opposite and what with one thing
or another, Helen Trohane couldn't get away.
She forgave Betty Dawson, of whom she was
very fond and whose dog she liked very
much, too, and her husband, though, of course,
she had one of those herself
particular. she wanted to meet Barney. Not
that she thought the walk would hurt him.
For seven years of seven-year married life
she had been telling Barney there must be
some kind of good health-giving sport he
would love if only he tried it. Exercise, she
said, is wonderful exercise
Barney was the picture of headstrong good
health and he listened, knowing this was we'll
intentioned, but there it stopped. His real
sport. he said, was buffalo hunting, and he
certainly meant to take it up the minute the
bison came back.
AS for walking he did that in oppressed
surprise, like an unhorsed cavalryman. Walk.
ing was what you did when you couldn't park
any closer - why else? And tonight, Helen
didn't want him to walk.
She intended to be exceptionally agreeable
in view of the low, conniving scheme she had
formed in the drugstore that afternoon. 1t
had come to her when woman remarked to
a companion, q. but my husband will get it
for me as a Christmas gift, 50 III have to
pretend it's wonderful"
BY the time Helen rescued him, Barney had
walked almost three blocks and was thinking
of doing the next one on his hands, just to
break the tedium But he smiled at her
pleasantly.
Think nothing of it" he said. II could
have walked all the way
Il wouldn't hear of it." Helen said solici-
tously.
1t was the same with these two lovable
characters at breakfast - sunny compatl-
bility Helens usual starvation menu didn't
even get disapproving frown. Barney looked
on with kind of reverse approval, like
mechanic listening to knock he now knows
how to fix. A very pretty picture, in short.
Fraudulent, of course, but pleasant.
A little before noon Barney was downtown
saying, why. yes guess you could help
to a pleasant saleswoman in Edgemere's
largest emporium. She looked like some
body's aunt and obviously had heart OF
butter, so Barney had no hesitation in offering
her the most challenging problem the holiday
season had yet pitched into the lap OF the

happily. "I'l drive her to

vignettes which comes up larger
and funnier than life, represents
the perfect shift of scene. Its
setting is an ocean liner whose
principal passenger is one of the
most outrageous bores in human
history.
This self-centered maniac,
played by Niges Patrick, is minor
masterpiece among Vaughan
characters. In him, after he has
succeeded in driving his fellow
passengers berserk with his ego
and his boorishness, author and
actor pull the perfect switch from
villainy to decency. The secon-
dairy characters in this amazingly
tidy anecdote are merely brushed
in, but somehow unforgettably.
They include a group Vaughan
has observed better than any
other writer one knows. minor
Colonial officials, the pretty wife
of one of these, and ships per-
sonnel who normally pass un-
noticed instead of becoming in
teresting figures in screen drama.
X n y X
Best and longest of the items in
Trio" is "Sanatorium" which
brings the film to it's climax. This
is Vaughan at his best, a writer
who once spent bit of his life in
a tuberculosis sanatorium and who
made an acute study of human
nature while there.
With beautiful Miss Simmons
as the virginia. patient and
Michael Rennie as the rakehell
who is enchanted by her, "Sana-
torium' tells love story that
shines in, its every mood and move.
1t is a perfect composition of
sentiment, suspense, wry humor
and human honesty that reveals
remarkably the difference be-
tween Vaughan and so many of
his fellow craftsmen.
In it's combination of these
qualities, it becomes a love story
to remember far beyond those
which are treated far more elab-
orately in the usual screen
romance.
There are eight characters in
"Sanatorium," as in each Of the
others, and each is made with
downright brilliance. Best of the
lot is the tuberculous heroine of
Miss Simmons, a girl who knows
so much that she knows enough
to reform rake by the sheer
power of calculated innocence.
y X \ II
Few films have said so much
in such small but memorable frag-
ments as those of Trio" 1t con-
stitutes one of those rare blessings
Vaughan has bestowed upon the
fellow creatures he has tried to
see clearly and record dramati-
cally.
It is not to be missed.

tales of which he is master. 1t is
quite as deserving of popularity
and equally assured of a place
on every best film list of 1850.
Also like Quartet" each of the
brief, dramatic insights into hu-
man nature which comprise the
new film involves the same i'm
maculate quality of acting and in
telligent direction. They are
made not merely to satisfy the
most eXacting taste, however, for
even the least exacting movie
goer will leave Trio" feeling bet
ter than he has ever felt before.
The three Vaughan short sto-
ries which compose Trio" are
"The Verger." "Mr. Knowall" and
"Sanitorium." They constitute an
ideal dramatic variety. Two fall
into the category of Maughams
best ironic jests and the third is
a tender love story as extraordi-
narily different as a tuberculosis
hospital is different from a mag
nolia garden.
The unity between them is pro-
vided by Maugham's singular and
fascinating point of view on his
fellow humans actions and reac-
tions.
It is sheer magic that runs
through an even "a character
portraits. the most glamorous of
them by Jean Simmons who plays
that acidulous young virgin in
"Sanitorium."
The, structure of Trio" is as
sound as the writing of Vaughan
is expert. 1t opens with laugh
ingly irreverent jest whose hero
is an humble employe of a fash
ionable London church.
For 35 years. this L.odesS man
has discharged his verger's duties
to perfection. He is prepared to
do it the rest CT his days but
when the new pastor discovers
that the v1Tger is Gn illiterate,
there SENS nothing 10 co but fire
him. A church's stylish name is
never safe with such a man, even
at the foot of its employees roster.
1t is a hideous fate overtaking
him so late in life that turns
Maugham'S verger into London's
richest tobacconist. Out of it, a
cast headed by James Hayter and
Kathleen Harrison makes a sketch
of that human SAVIOR which,
Vaughan alone is invariably able
to capture.
