Miss Shirley who is acquiring More poise with each picture succeeds in giving the Best performance in her career. The flying it Good entertainment for most fans. In addition to miss Shirley the cast includes John Garfield Claude Rains Roscoe Karns Lee Patrick Dennie Moore George Tobias Elizabeth Risdon and Berton Churchill. It s a pleasure to see Garfield break away from the stereotyped braggart that have characterized his career since four daughters. Or. Rains who always can be depended upon walks away with laurels in i Strong character role. Miss Moore Complete with Bronx accent also scores heavily As a stenographer. But to get Back to Anne Shirley. She started life 20 years ago with her own name which slips our memory at the she broke into movies As Dawn o Day at the age of four in the Spanish dancer was turned Down by Priscilla lanej8 and Olivia de Havilland.

Strangely enough James Wong Howe the cameraman in that Early film was also assigned to saturday s children. Selected for the a few years ago. It was decided to make a screen version of Anne of Green Gables and Dawn As she was called then was selected for the . The publicity department decided it would be a Good stunt to Christen her by the name of the girl in the Story hence Anne Shir Ley. Not so Long ago Anno became mrs. John accounts for name number four. Anne has been a Good Deal More fortunate than most screen juveniles. Most of them including Shirley Temple Jackie Coogan and a number of others seem to slip out of the picture when they get into their teens. Her work during a number of her earlier films was a bit too sugary for this depart ment s taste but she improves with every picture and there is no reason to doubt that she will become More important. I think John Garfield is at the Crossroads. He came from Broad Way with a Fine reputation and scored heavily in the four daughters picture. So heavily in fact that he was immediately typed.
