Morning Journey is totally unlike Novelist Hilton's big hits, Goodbye, Mr. Chips and Lost Horizon. It is the story of a stage-struck Irish colleen named Carey, who pines for stardom and is raised to it by a producer who is a theatrical genius. He also marries Carey, but, like all geniuses in fiction, is too much of a heel to toe the married line.

Only Colleen Townsend, the starlet who is reportedly quitting films to become a divinity student, spoke up. She recalled the Bible story of the woman taken in adultery: "Let him who is without sin cast the first stone." The first stone was promptly cast by 83-year-old Memphis Censor Lloyd T.
