By LOUELLA 0. PARSONS, Motion Picture Editor International News Service. Let's give a great big cheer for Edward Small, an independent producer who has made one of the finest pictures of the year in "My Son, My Son." Howard Spring's novel, best seller of last year, makes us realize again what a fine actor Brian Aherne is; that Louis Hayward did not win the award for the best acting on the stage in New York a few years ago, without deserving it; that Laraine Day has a great dramatic future and that Henry Hull continues to be one of the movies' most valuable actors. I don't know When I've seen a picture that has gripped me as much and held my complete and unswerving interest. The picture had the effect that an interesting novel gives — a wish to see even more.
