Trans-Lux's 'The Magnet'
Another Lively Boy Tale
By Jay Carmody
There is nothing boring about this world as seen through th
eyes of a 10-year-old boy. It is a mixture of fascinating and ter
rifying adventures and, Heaven be thanked, the balance betweei
the two is just about right to let a lad make it to manhood.
The British make a good thing of reminding everyone of thii
in their movies. They are quite pleasant about it as in the cast oi
The Magnet, now at the Trans
Lux, and sometimes they become
brilliant, indeed, as in the instance
of “The Fallen Idol.”
This allusion to the two screen
plays in a single sentence is not
to suggest that the former is the
equal of the latter. "The Magnet”
is on the same general theme,
however, and it is a disarmingly
cheerful item.
It is an unpretentious little tale
of a boy given an enforced holi
day from school owing to a scarlet
fever scare and how he used the
time to create all kinds of ruckus
for the normally qjiet English
community in which he lives. The
principal flavor of “The Magnet”
is comic, an ironic and carefree
kind of comedy in which the Eng
lish indulge with contagious relish.
* * * *
Michael Balcon is the producer
and T. E. B. Clark the author of
"The Magnet” and they have
found a bright broth of a boy to
play their wrae-eyed hero.
His name is William Fox and he
is another urchin who suggests
England is fairly teeming *with
eventual successors to Laurence
Olivier, RalDh Richardson and
the lesser likes of Rex Harrison
William plays the son of a busy
psvchiatrist. and an attractive
witty mother. He, himself, is
blessed with an enormous curi
osity about the world, knows the
sign language used by tramps
and can tell you how medicine
men cure everythfrom
sprained ankles to jungle fever.
He is as full of energy and
imagination as he is of folk
lore and it is these two which
mess up his life and the com
munity’s rather amusingly in
“The Magnet.”
It all begins when young Wil
liam trades his “invisible watch”
for a smaller boy’s magnet on the
beach one bright sunny morning.
This not very honorable deal fills
the picture's boy hero with guilty
forebodings and he tries to get
rid of the magnet as fast as he
can. It keeps coming back to
haunt him, however, until he
palms it off on a little man who
is developing a home-made iron
lung.
William thinks he is finally rid

of the thing now, but no boy was
ever more dreadfully wrong. The
little man, it seems, also has an
imagination and in his dramatics
retelling of how he got the mag
net, he converts the lad into a
heroic symbol of all generous boy
hood. A city-wide search for the
lad so the mayor can decorate
him is begun, but in William's
guilty mind the quest is involved
in some way with apprehending
him for murder.
* * * *
As chase movies go. this one
directed by Charles Frend is most
casually paced. It pauses with no
excuse whatever except the drol
lery in English movie-makers,
sometimes for a beauty contest,
to examine William’s guilty
dreams and his psychiatrist
father’s analysis of them, and
even to talk with an old boatman
who shaves his legs because he
cannot think of anything else to
do with his time.
These things could be quite a
bore if they were not done with
such aVtful determination and
occasionally they are in spite of it.
The most stressed of the inci
dental jokes in “The Magnet" is
the one relating to the father’s
desire to set his son straight
mentally. As a jibe at psycho
analysis, this jest is built quite
effectively around the point that
William’s common-sense mother
knows more about what is wrong
with the boy that his scientific
father.
“The Magnet” covers a lot of
ground with the camera follow
ing at the romping heels of its
tiero. It introduces movie-goers
to a generally agreeable lot of
oeople, the best of them played
oy Stephen Murray and Kay
Walsh as the lad's parents, and
