“YOUNG IDEAS”

Frankly I feel that such a cast is better than the’material they are provided with in “Young Ideas" (De Luxe). The story is slight and wore than a little Improbable, but the principals present it with some facets of acting that lift it beyond the ordinary run of the mill. First there is Susan Peters, who was given the tremendous job of pitting her ability against Greer Garson's in '‘Random Harvest” (you’ll recall her as the girl who gave up Ronal/1 Colman in the touching little scene in the church). She plays opposite Richard Carlson, who is another young star rapidly working out ou the right side of the movie ledger. Austere Herbert Marshall has an important part, but for once the old shibboleth might apply; “But he's always So much Herbert Marshall.” Happiest thought in the show was the inclusion of Mary Astor, whom I have not seen since her sterling Academy Award performance in “The Great Lie,” with Bette Davis. Yet a fifth worth-while performer is listed—Allyn Joslyn, the Nazi major of a “A Yank in Dutch.” Its worth seeing. “Tomorrow AVe Live,” a film which seems to bear no relation at all to a play of the same name, is also on the programme. Ricardo Cortez Is cast as the smooth piece of work who helps the girl to forget her soldier far across the seas. (There’s a big moral In this one). Jean Parker is the girl who is “torn between two loves,” as the advertisements say.
