wedding, abandon her loveless
life to join the boundleSS af-
fection she perceiveS in the lives
of the brother and his f1ancee.
This. it inevitably turns out,
is Frankie's widest and most
hopeless dream.
X X y \
So stark a summary of "The
Member of the Wedding" does
cruel injustice to Miss McCullerS'
novel and play. She is an author,
and Miss Harris is an actress
who reach deeply into the seeth-
ing nature of frankie Adams.
They have a story of growing up
to tell, a story essentially pain
full but relieved by touches of
comedy and always warmly alive.
Miss Harris frankie is mag
nificently made character. This
is a child that may be defeated,
but not without a terrific fight.
There is no docility in her nature.
Her battle plans are desperate
dreams, each gaudier than its
predecessor. Frustration is a
spur and it drives her to ride,
now furiously, now in shame,
over Berenice the cook and John
Henry. the small, scornful
cousin.
Few screen performers have
ever crowded so much of action,
physical and mental, into so
small an area as the setting of
THE Member. of the Wedding. :"
1t is Miss Harris first film role.
She makes it one whose memory
will last.
AS the servant who can offer
only love and patience. and a
limited worldly wisdom, to so
stormy a child, Miss Waters
gives performance of exquisite
revelation. 1t is the match 1t
should be for Miss Harris por-
trait of frankie.
Less satisfying by far than his
stage performance of John
Henry two years ago is young
Brandon's contributing to the
screen version of THE Member
of the Wedding" 1t is, indeed,
hardly more than an echo of
the original. Fortunately its
faintness makes less difference
for the sustained force of the
performances by his two princi-
pal seniors in the cast.
These alone would make the
Trans-Lux attraction a film OF
singular merit.
