Heap big eyewash as cinema entertainment, the possible influence on U. S. young of Susannah of the Mounties is not to be taken lightly. In Susannah Shirley smokes. She enjoys her first whiff of the weed with a young Indian hostage called Little Chief (Martin Good Rider), passing back & forth a small but sure-enough pipe of peace. Whatever the effect of this may be on the behavior of Shirley's moppet public, its effect on Shirley is to make her act sick. The effect on stolid, 13-year-old Martin Good Rider is imperceptible.

Daughters Courageous (Warner Bros.-First National). Cinemaddicts who saw Four Daughters, with John Garfield's bitter suicide and Gale Page and the Lane sisters (Priscilla, Rosemary & Lola) winding up behind various eight-balls, may expect quite a turn from this cinema. Daughters Courageous racks the whole bunch up again for a new break-less bruising, less startling, more fun to watch...
