"Sergt. York" is not a war picture.
1t is the story of a mountain man,
the forces that formed him and the

is characteristic of the man that he
would not allow the film to be made
with deletions of such material.
The element of comedy runs
strongly through "Sergt. York" 1t
is a natural, unstrained humor and
the fact that considerably more

filling one with expectation for
gaiety which soldem seems to ar
rive thereafter. At the outset
Maisie is a taxi dancer, a very bored
taxi dancer, who counts her tickets
to check her evenings earnings
while cooperating after fashion
with the crazed jitterbug with whom
she is dancing. That's at the out
set. After that Maisie is the girl
in one of those fables about the
clean-cut young prize fighter, who
packs such a wallop as the sports
writers haven't seen since the first
time they went out on Limb before

however, have his heart in fighting
any one when he isn't angry.
1t is just such role as any other

and indeed has played, and it is
just such yarn as might find
Jimmy Cagney as its hero, and

store of Pastor Pile, in their tur-
key shoots, in the dlrectness OF
their courtship. Sergt. York was a
fellow to find it in all various forms
between his dawn-to-dusk bouts
with a thin soil mountain slope
from which he farmed a living.
These passages of the film are its
most refreshing and the most dra-
matically varied. They show hero
in the making and with such ex-
cellent effect that there is never a
dull moment on the way to the
superclimax which the sergeant
wrote for the film on october 8. 1918,
in the battle of the Meuse-Argonne
The fascination of the script
writers for the life of the mountain
people is communicated throughout
the film in as simple and musical
speech as ever came from a sound
track. Every single incident which
they utilize. however. always is di-
rected toward revealing the man
who is central character in it. Even
one who did not know his story
could not fail to sense the latent
greatness in Sergt. York. 1t was
in his battle to overcome his objec-
tionS to religion. his shy fumbling
effort to court Oracle Williams, his
later struggle to overcome the re-
ligious scruples which made him
seek to avoid the draft as a consci-
entious objector.
All these combine to make Sergt.
York the fellow who could pull of
the fabulous feat of single -handedly
knocking out a huge hunk of the
German Army.
That climatic accomplishment. in
cidentally, is photographed as
thing possible of human accomplish
ment-in itself an almost incre-
dible feat in the light of Holly
woods past performance.
