MAJESTIC
“THE GREEN YEARS’ The screen adaptation of A. J. Cronin’s Oest-seller novel. “The Green Years,’’ has all the warmth, zest, and humour of the original story of Robert Shannon, the orphaned’youngster who is at first intimidated by his foster family, but who. after precarious years of childhood and adolescence, finds his true career with the help of his greatgrandfather. “The Green Years.*’ which continues its season to-day at the Majestic Theatre, stars Charles Coburn, Tom Drake, Beverley Tyler Hume Cronyn, Gladys Cooper and Dean Stockwell, and has an imposing supporting cast. Told in retrospect, the growth of young Shannon is unolded with the accent on such aspects as his determination to follow his religious 1 principles. his early fights, the humorous and tragic implications of his adolescent love affair ar.d his final battle against odds to pursue his longcherished ambition for a medical career.
