At the moment, for instance

Sam Small, the man who thought
he could fly and found, by Jove, that
he could.
Throughout the period during
which it has been fascinated by
fantasy, Hollywood never ran across
a more enhancing grown-up fairy
tale than this one. 1t made such
fine things as Here Comes Mr.. Jor-
dan" and numerous others, but good
as they were, the feeling was that
The Flying Yorkshireman" would
top the list.
No matter where you would go in
Hollywood-in the days when you
were going to Hollywood because the
war had not yet come-"The Flying
Yorkshireman" would always come
into the. conversation. Every one
wanted to play it, you would gather.
Or II not play it, direct 1t or have
something to do with the adaptation
for the screen.
"Ah, what a love of a story" our
then favorite Irish actress would say
of it. 1t was the sentiment, less
caressingly expressed, of every one
in the community.
When the talk got down to the
specific, or as near to it as the talk
ever got, it had something to do with
Charles Laughton playing Sam
Small. He had a contract with RKO
then and RKO owned the rights to
the story. Scoffers, who were nu-
merous would say that Mr.. Laugh
ton was shaped too much like a
blimp and that if he played Sam
Small the story would turn into a
farce instead of fantasy.
1t was jealousy speaking in these
ironic phrases. Regardless OF his
shape, Laughton is good actor and
his colleagues know it. But they
did not want Laughton, or any one
else, to be Sam Small if they could
not be him.
And so it was in spite of all the
talk that "The Flying Yorkshire
man." the most beloved script in
Hollywood, was left on shelf all
these years.
It is impossible to conceive of
pair better qualified than the Tor
mer colonies for what could easily
be the best picture of its season, or
one of the best of all time. Each is
gifted with a sharp awareness for
the minute difference between the
real. and the fantastic, and the
imaginations to match the one with
which the late Eric Knight con-
ceived and wrote THE Flying York
shireman."
They cannot get busy doing some
thing about it too quickly for an au-
dience that is still impatient to see
the story translated into cenuloid,
with the use of those camera tricks
that have made the screen the per-
feet medium for fantasy.
Knight, by the way, will not see
what the movies were able to do
with his favorite story. The former
movie critic, turned war correspond
ent, was killed in an airplane acci-
dent couple of years ago, an ironic
end for writer who convinced
virtually every one that Sam Small
could fly because he refused to ac-
cept mans limitations. ..-.s.
