course of their hazardous journey
Between himself and the oldest boy
OF the encourage there is a running
feud based upon the child's contra
diction of the elderly man when the
latter insists Rochester is an Amer
lean State located somewhere near
the New England colony. Without
in the least being overworked, the
gag runs through the entire picture
to get more legitimate laughs than
anything Of its kind the movies have
thought up in a long time.
. Irving Pichel, who directed 'The
Pied Piper" has avoided the over
sentimental with a skill entirely
worthy of the script. He has kept
his chase through France moving
at an always becoming speed and
has done an excellent job in those
passages in which the old man
comes stormily to grips with his
German captors. There is particu-
lar effectiveness in a scene in which
a tiny German girl among the old
mans ward greets the news that she
no longer has to Hell Hitler" with
the single word, Gut" It is one of
the best and most effortless laughs
of very amusing picture.

more to behold in those many mo-
ments in "The Pied Piper" IN which
his unctious disdain is dissolved by
the needs of six child refugees who
become attached Oike barnacles)
to him on his flight from France in
1910. That child actors can steal
a scene from any adult is legend
that receives a severe pummeling
as one watches Woolley fight 1t out
hand hand with those who sur
round him in the picture. At the
very worst, it is a draw for him,
remarkable thing considering he
is o6tnumbered so heavily.
As stories involving grandfather
ly men and children usually are,
The Pied Piper" is tender and
charming without ever becoming
mawkish. It also is very comic
thing, full of wit and humor and
nicely counterpointed with sus-
penseful and dramatic passages. 1t
is, indeed, the sort of thing to be
expected from the typewriter of
Nunnally johnson, who adapted the
screenscript from an original by
Nevil Shute. Mr.. johnson ever was
a fellow to write of children as
an intelligent adult instead of
lapsing into the kiddie- talk style OF
so many Of his associates in Holly
wood. -.
The Pied Piper played by woolley
is no fairy-tale character, as you
may have gathered. He is an old
gent whose convictions include an
ineradicable sense that children are
natures greatest nuisance. That
feeling receives a terrific jolt when
he is asked to escort a couple of
English foreign service youngsters
back to London on a flight before
the German Army which has inter-
rupted his fishing trip in France.
That is just starter, however, as
compared with what happens once
the journey begins.
Subsequent events include train
sickness on the part OF the little girl,
the necessity Of carrying his own
bags on refugee walking trek, a
machine-gunning by German dive
