With neighbors as they should,
Offering their services,
In doing something good.
Good neighbors are concerned,
With neighbors all about,
Ever glad and willing,

the story of Welsh family life into
an unfailingly fine photoplay whose
one shortcomings very negligible
one-is the unremitting somberness
of its mood. There was much of
love and lofty dreaming, and much
of brutality and harsh injustice in
the experience of little Huw Nor
gan, but there was very little of that
joyousness which might have
heightened its drama by providing
1t with sharper contrast.
Ford's translation of the Level
lyn novel. however. is far above the
need for even occasional lightness
of humor.
AS every truly fine picture is, this
one is marked by sparkling perform
ances. Brilliant. no less, is that of
young Roddy Mcdowell as little
Huw, the shy, sensitive youngest
Morgan who found greenness in his
valley far beyond any surface ap-

All Gary Cooper needs to give
brilliance to a screen comedy is an
other Deedslike character to imper-
senate. That is the character he
gets in the role of a conservative
professor in Ball of Fire" a pro-
fessor who finds himself enmeshed
in the wileS of night club dancer
who regards the academic facade
as the most fascinating thing in
the world.
The romance between them, which
originates in the professors assign
ment to compile a dictionary of
slang, is almost certain to be the
seasons most amusing.
The basic idea of Ball OF Fire"
actually probably is a slender thing,
but when Cooper and Miss STAN
wyck get to work on it they make
it look rather wonderfully funny.
Then, of course, there is the fur
ther fine item of The Man Who
Came to Dinner" at the Metropoli-
tan, and the less fine but pleasant
enough Babes on Broadway" at the
Columbia.
Between the lot a citizen can exc
out great deal of admiration for
the movies.

timely narrative of the life OF the
greatest American hero of the first
World War. A beautiful blending
Of comedy, drama and melodrama,
1t adds up to an altogether inspired
piece of entertainment which every
American owes it to himself to see.
In the central role, that of the
lanky laconic mountain lad who
dropped his conscientious objections
to war to become its outstanding
individual soldier, Gary Cooper
gives the best performance of his
career. 1t is a performance, as
every one must have heard. which
is likely to win him his first Acad-
emy Award.
There is equally superlative acting
on the part of other members of the
cast which William Dieterle directed
with such brilliance and SO deep
an understanding of his story. After
that of Cooper comes that of Mar
garet Wycherly in the role of the
taciturn, deeply feeling mother of
the York boys Excellent, too, Is
young Joan Leslie as the sweetheart
whose own shynesS was not so great
that it was inadequate to overcom-
ing that of the inarticulate farm
lad.
Among its other impressive quail
ties, .'Sergt. York is picture Of
extraordinary honesty, a freedom
from fear which permits the frank
admission that the young York was
