In "Growing Pains" by Auranla Rouverol she has taken children for her subject and gives us an illuminating illum-inating and authentic drama of real human beings. It is certain that anyone witnessing thla comedy com-edy will emerge with a greater degree de-gree of understanding and tolerance and a fuller measure of love and devotion toward the children around them. It tells the dilemma of the Mc-Intyres, Mc-Intyres, who see their boy and girl tossed In the cataracts of adolescence adoles-cence and can help little further than give directions for the turbulent turbu-lent course from a distance, advices ad-vices which egocentric youth always al-ways rejects, of course.
