SATURDAY AND MONDAY
MATINEE SATURDAY 2 P.M. Mary Marshall (Ginger Rogers), on Christmas furlough from the prison in which she is serving a manslaughter sentence, and Sgt. Zachary Morgan (Joseph Cotton), on furlough from the Army hospital, where he is under treatment as a neuropsychiatric, meet enroute to Pinehill, where Mary is to spena the holidays with her aunt (Spring Byington), her uncle Henry Marshall (Tom Tully), and their daughter, Barbara (Shirley Temple).- Both Mary and Zach lack confidence in the future. She is under the strain of pay'ing her debt to society for the crime of accidentally killing her former employer, while she was attempting to escape his drunken advances. Having had dreams, as most young business girls do, of eventually marrying and having her own home, a devoted husband and, children, she feels now that such things are impossible for an ex-convict. Zach, who had just started , a brilliant career as an engineer when the war broke out, also feels that his life is finished. Having nowheret to go, he gets off at Pinehill with Mary and arranges to stay at the local Y.M.C.A. The love that develops out of their adventures together during the ten days leave, plus the kindly and steadying influence of the Marshall family, gives both Mary and Zach hope for the future. Remember to' make your weekend bookings early.
