| In a way, I did understand why I~ ad s fans loved him so.When I saw Going M~! W(u,t I was as moved as they were bythe character he played. Father O Malley handled that gangof young hooligans in his parish with such kindness and wis-dom that I thought he was wonderful too. Instead of comingdown hard on the kids and withdrawing his affection, heforgave them their misdeeds, took them to the ball game andpicture show, taught them how to sing. By the last reel, thesheer persistence of his goodness had transformed even theworst of them into solid Citizens. Then the lights came on andthe movie was over. All the way back to the house I thoughtabout the difference between the person up there on the screenand the one I knew at home But the persona wasn t simply an act. That side of him wasreal too. Once he left the house and stepped into the world,he became another man, that same nice guy everyone lovedin the movies. |
