The greatest star of ths screen I
Playing at the Astor Theatre, the motion picture showcase of Broadway, is a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer film that — even as we go to press — is shaking the grapes on the vine with tremulous excitement.
★ ★ ★ ★
It has a big title — "The Human Comedy" — and it is a big picture.
★ ★ ★ ★
No— it isn't a "Gone With The Wind". It's physically smaller but humanly larger. It isn't about who kissed who or who stole the papers.
★ ★ ★ ★
It's about people — real people — human people — American people — all people.
★ ★ ★ ★ Involved are adventure, romance, feeling, beauty, decency, understanding and all the words like that in the thesaurus.
★ * ★ ★
This leads us to that curious phenomenon of the arts — William Saroyan who wrote "The Human Comedy"
★ ★ ★ ★
He is the man who baffled and entertained Broadway with such unusual plays as "My Heart's in the Highlands' "The Beautiful People" and "The Time of Your Life". "The Human Comedy" is better than all his plays, better than all the Saroyan stories.
★ ★ ★ ★ Clarence Brown produced and directed the film with loving care. He says that the picture is inherently his best. Clarence doesn't boast. He meant that the picture's content inspired him.
Mickey Rooney gives an artist's performance as Homer Macauley, the messenger boy. Frank Morgan as Willie Grogan, the telegraph operator, is perfection itself.
★ ★ ★ ★
One could tell about the entire cast; tell about every single episode in the film. It's that interesting and true.
★ ★ ★ • ★
May we suggest that you write this column a letter after you've seen the film. We hope it is playing in your town today so that we'll hear from you soon,
★
Someone once criticized the films for not giving the true picture of the best side of American life. We'd like to hear from that chap after he sees "The Human Comedy".
★ ★ ★ ★
We laughed — we cried — we cheered. ★ * ★ ★ Even a lion is human.
