For the benefit of the few people who missed "The Miracle of Morgan's Creek" when it made its first appearance in Boston about five months ago, the U.T. has brought the picture back to Cambridge on a bill with one of last year's disappointments, "Cry Havoc."

"The Miracle" is Preston Sturges's sixth effort, and betters all of them except the first, "The Great McGinty" from which it borrows two characters. The show is always moderately funny, maintains a good entertainment level, and holds the interest.

Probably Sturges's outstanding accomplishment in the picture is his work with Betty Hutton, so successful that the brash, bumptious bouncer becomes a light and joyous comedienne. Eddy Bracken is cut out for his role, and the two of them carry the picture, although Sturges has not neglected the minor roles.

"Cry Havoc," when it appeared on the West Coast as a play, had a dramatic idea. The notion of throwing people together and then dooming them, while not new, was most timely, and the character portraits were finely drawn. The show ran eight months.

By the time it reached New York, the idea had begun to wear out, and the portraiture had dulled. Now that Hollywood has gotten hold of it, the script has failed to delineate character at all, and the entire picture has come to resemble a meeting of the Hollywood chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution. There are times when you can't see the characters for the waving of the flag.
