J. Cronin's brilliant new book. (Mr. Cronin, you will remember, also authored "TheCitadel" and "The Keys of the Kingdom".) We roared applause for Charles Coburn's fine characterization. We raved about Tom Drake's winning performance. We glowed over lovely young Beverly Tyler's beautifully acted role. ★ ★ ★ ★ And, if we were the crowing kind, this month we'd be saying : ' 'We told you so ! " ★ ★ ★ ★ Because our claims have been confirmed by the most show-wise audience you could possibly get together. ★ ★ ★ ★ Kate Smith says "The Green Years" is a wonderful motion picture. Frank Sinatra says so. Judy Garland says so. Louella Parsons says so. ★ ★ ★ ★ And Jack Benny says so. Jimmy Durante says so. Greer Garson says so. Eddie Cantor says so. Hedda Hopper says so. Ed Sullivan says so. ★ ★ ★ ★ And June Ally son says so. Gregory Peck says so. Rudy Vallee says so. Dinah Shore says so. Louis Sobol says so. But why go on? Everyone says so! ★ ★ ★ ★ Our congratulations to Director Victor Saville and Producer Leon Gordon. To a perfect supporting cast: Hume Cronyn, Gladys Cooper, Dean Stockwell, Richard Haydn, Selena Royle and Jessica Tandy. To those fine screenplay writers, Robert Ardrey and Sonya Levien. ★ ★ ★ ★ They all contributed so much toward making "The Green Years" what it is: Next month, we'll tell you all about "Easy To Wed". If we may go into our role of oracle again, it's great — and we're telling you so. How could it miss with Van Johnson (singing and dancing!), lovely Esther Williams, gorgeous Lucille Ball, and uproarious Keenan Wynn? Technicolor, too.
