element of the McCarey formula

gives audiences the emotional work.
out that they find irresistible.
From the moment he is introduced
to st. Mary's parish with the warn
ing of his housekeeper that he will
be "up to his neck in nuns" Father
OMalley is in conflict with Sister
Benedict. Their ideas of parish eco
Monies are not identical and they
are even farther apart in their the
cries and practices of education. But
they admire and respect each other
and come also to have an affection
ate regard beneath their formal IA
cades. The conflict between them
profits dramatically by their atti-
tudes, as did that between Crosby
and the older priest in Going My
Way"
The incident of THE Bells of st
Mary's' is invariably and warmingly
simple. Its ingredients are such hu-
morous things as the priests first
speech to the curious nuns, his diff
ference with the mother superior on
schoolboy fights, his injection of
diplomacy into the schools feud with
the factory owner as a bulwark to
the nuns prayers and his assistance
to a harrassed girl student in the
preparation of an essay.
McCarey as storyteller reaches
the pinnacle of his brilliance In none
OF these, however. That occurs in
stead In a sequence in which the
younger children Of the school pro-
duce their own nativity play, a mas
terpiece Of charm and touching in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1945-12-26

of st. Mary's" nevertheless will have
the happy destiny of spreading more
joy than any screen drama since
McCarey's last tale of faith, hope
and love.
THE Bells of st. Mary's" Is an
unabashed sequel to Going My
Way" Unlike most approximate
repetitions. however, it is another
masterpiece. 1t has the same deep
ly felt humanity, sentimentality,
and an equal artfulness in avoiding
the pitfall of hokum into which so
many similar stories spin. It's main
difference is that Miss Bergman
takes the place this time of the
magnificent old priest played by
Barry Fitzgerald in Going My
Way" Surprisingly. she gives the
narrative many of the same quail
ties of droll humor that Fitzgerald
did Not at all surprisingly, she is
much more beautiful, perhaps more
so than ever in her Mother Su-
perior's habit. She represents a
brilliant piece of casting, as always,
the gentle, feminine counterpart
for Crosby's droll Father Chuck
O'Malley.
In the smaller roles, McCarey has
done the same brilliant job he man
aged in his first demonstration that
deeply moving things happen in the
seemingly placid lives of those
identified with the church.
The broken down church of Co
ing My Way" has become st. Mary's
Parochial School in the new screen
play. Poverty's cold wind blows
through its tired, shabby classrooms
It's playground has already been sold
to a Scrooge-like tycoon who has
eyes on the rest of the school prop
erty as a parking lot to finish off his
modern factory project. Opposed to
him is Sister Benedict miss Berg
mani, whose weapons are prayer
and faith that st. Mary's has an
unquenchable spirit of life Not quite
so opposed, once he enters the pic
ture, is Father O'Malley. He is
philosophically reconciled to prog
ress and, in his masculine way, he is
not sure a large, nearby parochial
school would not be better than the
poor. run down institution dominat-
ed by the gentle Sister Benedict.
X X
That Is the structure on which
McCarey has set his heart-search-
ing cameras. 1t never fails him in
the pictures swift moving concern
with character and incident in both
of which The Bells of st. Mary's"
is particularly rich. Nor does it ever
let him down in that other famous

nocence. Here the director Of 1.-THE
Bells of st. Mary's" had the genius
merely to say what he wanted. The
youngsters gave it to him in a meas
ure beyond any he had a right to
hope.
Less universal in It's appeal is a
sequence in which Sister Benedict
undertakes to learn the principles OF
self defense in order to teach them
to a lad to whom she previously has
taught that it is more blessed to
turn the other cheek. 1t is handled
with adroit humor by every one
concerned, but it may not escape a
bubble here and there. 1t is not,
however, inconsistent with the char
acter of Sister Benedict. She is a
lively, alert person She is mother
superior, indeed, who answers Cros-
by's remark that 1t is mans world
with the counter: us 1t, father? And
how are they doing?"
The Bells of st. Mary's" is
charmingly replete with such off
hand, meaninsful dialogue Some of
it sounds more ad libbed than that
of any other screen play of the year,
as, for example. Crosby's line when
he is introduced to student of St.
Mary's, a boy named Luther.
Luther" Father O'Malley re-
marks, what's he doing here?"
X X X X
Crosby's and Miss Bergman's are
by no means the only performances
which reach the standard of Co
ing My Way" Equally splendid, If
minor, are the contributions of
Henry Travers, as the tycoon who
is softened up to an eventual pulp
by the nuns prayers: Joan Carroll
as the melancholy bobby socks stu
dent who comes to love st. Mary's;
Martha Sleeper as the mother of
the disappointed girl, and Una
OConnor in a brief moment as the
dour housekeeper of Father O'Mal-
ley.
Between them all. they make THE
Bells of st. Mary's" picture which
would have won the same prizes as
Going My Way" If 1t had had the
luck to have been the first of the
series.
