= moving picture, Sergeant
York." there may be propa.
ganda but it Is, thank God
of the American variety for a
change.
You do not, when you are
seeking an evenings enter
tainment, find yourself con-
frOntsd in this film with a
dreary hour and a half of pro-
British or prO-Russian prOpa-
ganda, disloyally melting
America to war or cOmmu-
nism or both.
You do not feel yourself
swindled of your dime or your
dollar, and made to wonder
whether the producers actu-
ally paid for the taking of the
picture you are seeing, or
whether some foreign govern
ment did.
Sergeant York" is an
American film of an Ameri-
can hero, and mainly i'm an
American setting.
The part is portrayed by as
fine an American figure a
there is on the screen.
And it is said that Sergeant
York himself chose Gary
Cooper to play the title role,
recognizing i'm him the rugged
qualities of true Americanism
that the part required.
IN THE early period of the
i picture, YOU are intro
duced to the home life of the
backwOOds people of Ten
nessee.
They are a simple, honest,
religious peOple-a peace
loving peOple-but not, as
you will find, a peaceful peO-
pie when inspired by a prin-
ciple and impelled by con
yiction.
At the climax of the picture
Is shown the most amazing
incident of the World War,
the capture Of a full COM
pany OF German machine
gunners by the shrewd ma
neuvering. and almost incOn-
ceivable daring, of this lone
Tennesseean.
Then there is the reward
for heroism. - the medals
pinned on the sergeant's
breast, the kiss from the
French general, the salute
from the Britisher. the hand
clasp from his own great
leader.
And then comes the return
10 America,-the welcome OF
America, the surging crowds,
the resounding cheers, the air
full of confetti.
Then the evening banquet,
the speeches, the adulatiOn by
many who did much to bring
on the war but somehow
failed to participate in il, and
who express their belated pa
!. triotism in lip service to those
who fought and died, or suf-
fered and survived.
A FTER all these distracting
n demonstrations, - after
all this glare of glory. this
blare of praise,-after all this
exhibition of genuine graft
tude on the part Of the peO-
pie, and also this formal
routine of acknowledgement
by those higher-ups who
have risked the least and
prOfited the mo.t,-fOllOws
the final return To Tennessee,
to his home, 10 his family, to
his friends,-and to oblivion.
