HOLLYWOOD.

No one has invited us to do so,
but now that 1941 is showing its
heels and the annual procession OF
"bests" and "worsts" marches across
the movie horizon. We just can't re-
sist the temptation to jot down a
column OF our own personal likes
and dislikes.
We realize, too. that every single
photographic opinion is packed with
dynamite. A lot of fans won't agree.
For instance. when We point to
Sergeant York" as the top screen
effort of 1941, we can almost hear
a chorus screaming. The lug-hoW
about The Little Foxes or Citizen
Kane'?"
But that's only diversity of opin-
ion-and that's exactly what makes
the wheels of this giant movie in
dustry spin such staggering profits.
It's our chin, and we're sticking it
out-so here goes for the passing
parade of 1941 as it looked from this
corner:

I snapped out of it, though. But it
certainly was a close call and a
lucky one for me-"
Fate, incidentally, played an i'm
