Dowall.

"Lassie Come Home" is a glowing epitaph to it a author, the late Erie Knight, who died a year or so ago in line of duty in the uniform of the U. S. Army. Eric Knight had written other books, but none with such a human touch as this one about the collie doe that, would not be separated from his young master. Sold to a titled nobleman by youncr Joe's parents because the father is out of work and the English "dole" is not.

sufficient to feed the little family of three in addition to herself, Lassie twice breaks away and returns home. When it's four in the afternoon her post is under the old tree in the schoolyard where she greets Joe as the lad joyously ends ins day of study. Why the townspeople set their clocks as Lassie trots down the village street toward the school! Then the Duke, a dog-fancier, moves to Scotland, and no longer at, four o'clock is Lassie under the tree waiting for Joe. Joe is miserable. His good parents are miserable.

And Lassie is miserable, until finally one day she escapes and. like a homing pigeon, heads southward from Scotland to England and Yorkshire. Storms delay Lassie, floods beset her path but nothing stops ner. Pausing for a rest now and then, on she goes southward, her paws bleeding, her body sick with weariness toiling over hills and down through rocky valleys. She takes up for a while with a jolly old pedlar of tin pots and pans and his little trick dog, drives off thugs who waylay this knight of the road; stays for an idyllic few-days with an old Scotish couple who find her ail but dead in a rainstorm near their cottage; evades dog-catchers ultimately returning to home and little Joe, bedraggled, starving and crippled.

There is, in the latter portions, as much suspense as in a well-made melodramatic thriller but, above all, great, tenderness and warmth. The dog of the title is a extraordinarily beautiful animal whose eyes and sensitive face reflects the agonies of separation from her beloved Joe. If only human actors could do their make-believing half as well! However, the human cast is ideal Master McDowall. his parents played splendidly by Donald Crisp and Elsa Lanchester; the old pedlar by sturdy Edmund Gwenn; the Duke by Nigel Bruce. of the year!
