Magnificent Obsession
HE story of Magnificent Obsession is fairly well known-Lloyd C. Douglas’s book was a best seller, and the film of the same name was a great success. Even so, in serial form, it should attract a great deal of attention. When the wealthy playboy, Bob Merrick, indirectly causes the death of Helen Phillips’s husband, he tries to erase the memory by his attentions to Helen. Trying to escape Merrick’s insistence, Helen is run down by a car and the accident leaves her blind. Merrick’s only friend, an artist named Randolph, tells him the secret of a mysterious power to bring happiness and success to troubled people, and Merrick starts on the long road of medical study, which ultimately leads to his success as a brain surgeon, Years later he finds Helen near death, and performs an operation which saves her life and cures her blindness. Those taking part in the serial, which starts from ZB stations on November 3, are Lyndall Barbour, Richard Davies, Judith Godden, Wynne Nelson and Don Pascoe,
