LORNA DOONE
(Columbia) HE only version of Lorna Doone I ever read was an abridgment "for school use," that came out in Herbert Strang’s Library a good many years ago, but even that had a lot more blood and thunder in it than this pallid (if Technicolored) "free adaptation." The domain of the Doones has been enlarged to New World proportions-Doone Castle itself reduces Windsor to the proportions of a_pillbox, and the falls on the Bagworthy Water look like the lower leap at Yosemite. The Doones themselves, however, are correspondingly diminished. Only Sir Ensor looked the part, and when he died the match was as good as over, though strictly speaking it was then (as you might say).one Doone and two to go.
