PAUL RIEGER, 2Sb Art Center BldR.. San Francisco sides, think of the seven days wonder our elopement would mean in this dopey little town. Come on, Jack. We're alike. Neither of us is much good, but we get along. Ann will want to stay in this hick village forever, and I'm already so bored with it I could commit mayhem. So are you. Let's leave, together . . . now." It was a dazzling idea to Jack. He was weak enough to be tempted by a bizarre farewell to Belmore, shallow enough to abandon one love for another. And, subconsciously, he realized the truth of Julie's words. Ann didn't love him and never would. Jerry was astounded by Ann's reaction to the news. "Eloped? Oh, how wonderful. Oh, Jerry, I am so happy. . . ." "Then you don't care? ... I mean you DO care? . . ." Jerry wondered if the dispensary bell always rang at the wrong time when he heard its insistent tinkle, just as he moved toward his sweetheart. Another emergency call. I IGHT-HEARTED for the first time • in months, Jerry hurried to the bedside of the pathetic Mary Henderson who had come home to die, and was having a hard time doing even that in peace. Mary was not recognized by the good ladies of Belmore. Mary had led a gay youth and a none too savory one. The disapproval of the town had driven her away years before, when she was a hearty, laughing young woman. Jerry could see only faint traces of the former attractiveness in the thin, anxious face, ravaged by disease and something else . . . something he recognized as the terrible desire of a drug addict. Her mysterious death turned the town once more against Malone. When the cause of her demise was diagnosed as an overdose of morphine, a devastating amount of circumstan tial evidence pointed to Jerry as the responsible man. His record of unselfish service was soon forgotten by the townspeople. He was arrested on suspicion of first degree manslaughter. It was only through the perseverance and loyalty of his friends that the real facts behind Mary's death were uncovered — facts which broke up an incipient narcotics ring and conclusively proved Jerry's innocence. But the whole unpleasant episode left its mark on Malone. It shook his confidence in himself. He saw plainly how insecure small town popularity could be. He had gone back to the Medical Foundation for a visit . . . to find an answer to the turmoil of his troubled mind and heart. "So you see, Dr. Abercrombie," concluded Jerry, "why I've got to go back and fight it out with Belmore, don't you?" Dr. Malone leaned back in his chair. He was tired. But somehow the stating of the highlights of his year in Belmore had clarified the whole thing for him, and he saw just where his duty lay. And then there was dear, lovely Ann, waiting. "Ye're a real doctor, laddie!" Abercrombie laid a kindly hand on Jerry's shoulder. "And ye've a real fight ahead. But my money's on me laddie, so get back there and gie them the wurks! "And," added Dr. Abercrombie with a merry look in his knowing eyes, "it's no sic a bad idea to hae a gude second in a fight ... a second wie bonnie blue eyes and yellow hair. If ye're asking me, which I don't notice ye are, ye better take care of that angle furrst of all!" And so young Dr. Malone returned to Belmore — where you can follow his further adventures Monday through Friday at 11:15 A. M., E.S.T., over NBC-Blue. Prize-winners Laurence Olivier, Vivien Leigh and James Stewart broadcast their acceptances of the New York Film Critics' award for best pictures and acting of the year. 80 RADIO AND TELEVISION MIRROR
