York
Superb
Picture

WE SHOULD like TO salute the
motion picture industry for turn
ing out such a true-red-white-and-
blue triumph as Sergeant York"
which opened at the Michigan
yesterday.
The film Is fundamentally a
dramatic report of the heroic deeds
of Sgt. Alvin York of the Company
G., 32Sth Infantry, Send Division
OF the AEF in the last World War.
But more than that. 1t carries a
patriotic message which Is as
timely as the Japanese invasion
and expounds an all-American
theory which cannot fall upon
deaf ears at this time.
At the same time il remains an
entertaining spectacle rather than
a vehicle for propaganda. II has
moods and moments no military
argument could possibly persuade
you more to believe in.
Singularly suited TO the title role
is Yorkis own choice for his
Characterization. Gary Cooper,
who achieves the greatest work OF
his career in the part.

support OF the leading role.

BEST FILM BIOGRAPHY

II is film biography at its best,
Warmers having excelled in this
field with "Zola" and "Pasteur"
although this Is most important in
the contemporary treatment.
II is all-American in its idea.
The growth OF the unruly back
woodsman, his conversion and
his ultimate achievement OF the
stature of a hero. is a tale in
digenous 10 this country and
Cooper fills il 10 perfection.
He makes the most OF the
homely humor which the part Of

and the hero of the battlefield.

A STRANGE PEOPLE

In this case it's just a spring
board for a we'll resolved and
penetrating story Of a people
about which the average film
goers know relatively little.
It's stark and slightly on the
horrible side, but IL will impress
you so with the consistency and
detail with which II is told that
we are quite sure you won't for
get il for many a day.
Sure, you're going to see a
cottonmouth strike man in the
face with its fatal fangs, you're
going to see a chap gurgled up
10 his hat by a quagnire and a
bull alligator make morsel out
of a man. but you are also going
10 witness a terrifically powerful
drama about swamp people that
you shouldn't miss.

Four Amendments Now.
The bill, as presented to the House
from the Foreign Affairs Committee,
has been amended in four particu-
lars. The first fixes a time limit
for continuance of the powers au-
thorized until June 30, 1943. The
other amendments provide for con-
sultation with the military and naval
authorities before munitions and
supplies of the Army and Navy are
transferred to the British, for peri
odic reports by the President to the
Congress, and states that nothing
In the bill shall be construed as au-
thorizing the use of American naval
vessels to convoy merchant ships
carrying supplies to the British.
A substitute offered by minority
of eight, all Republican members OF
the Foreign Affairs Committee, con-
tains seven points, one of which
is for direct loan to the British Of
So 900, 100000 to purchase war sup
plies. Another bans outright the
use of American ships to carry sup

forbids the use of American naval
vessels as conveys without the as
sent of Congress. The substitute
also provides a one-year time limit
on the operation of the proposed act.

is declared by both the minority

of power which is to be granted the
President.
The contest in the House will
come over amendments. Many will

doubtful that any can be adopted
without the assent of the admin
istration leaders. Much will de-
pend, therefore, upon the willing
ness Of the administration to permit

If some concessions are made by
both sides the bill will pass by an
overwhelming vote and the House
will have given a demonstration Of
national unity.
