WASHING DISHES
CAMBRIDGE GRADUATE. Captain Sorrell was an educated man, an Army officer, an M.C. He could find no work when the war was over. At last he found a job—as general handyman at an hotel. That was the Captain Sorrell of fiction—hero of Warwick Deeping’s best selling novel and the two successful films made from it. /The Captain Sorrell of real life walked into the Sunday Express office lately—Captain James Sorrell, M.C., Cambridge graduate. He told his story. He has been in poverty for the past two years. He left Liverpool, where he had been sleeping in a Salvation Army shelter, and tramped to London. Captain Sorrell went to a restaurant of which he was a rvcular customer in pre-war days. He asked for a job. He got one. He will wash dishes. He will get 15/- a week and his food. He is happy.-
