Clean. No store stamps. --- --- McReady Huston, who rearranged the Kitty Foyle story in "The Saving Grace" is again on that Main Line of argument as some polite Philadelphians, a few outlanders with money- or worse, none, and Reese Entrikin, a typical first family and bank assistant, resolve their lives within these confines. Reese works indifferently at his job, and is attracted to Ellen Cabannis, a working girl, from New York; his sister Milly makes a marriage which is triggered by money to Kim Fansler- and the Fanslers offer Reese a job which his mother- who has no assets except social- pushes him to accept. But finally Reese cuts loose from the pattern, away from his mother and toward Ellen and a new life which will be more satisfying. As before, social pressure and protocol provides the problem in an effortless entertainment among pleasant people. . .See photos for additional content. . .
