NEA Service Staff Correspondent Hollywood-Give it few more years and the screen will be devel- oping traditions. There will be im- pressive genealogical charts in the back of the Motion Picture Alma mac, as there are ilow-tracing the proud families of the stage-h Who's Who in the Theater.
 Just now, having little dignity and an overgrown suspicion of rel- atives in the picture business, Hol- lywood is inclined to look patron- izingly on the encouragement ton actors and actresses working on al- most every lot.
 You may be pretty sure that few If any won parts through parental influence or executive sentiment. The movies are much too hard headed for that, where acting Is ii1- volved.
 Most of the relatives on studio payrolls are high-salaried office stooges who can do no harm.
 Of the strictly cinematic second generation players, only one has been accepted at his own value so far-Dougles Fairbanks, Jr. Tim Holt son of Jack, seems fairly well established-or will be, following his fat part in Gold Is Where You Find It." Tyrone Power doesn't count; his pappy was a stage star. So was Fred Stone, and even his daughters before they came to the screen.

Each recent year has brought to the screen Q finer type of musical picture and 1897 is no exception, ''The Firefly," Metro Goldwyn- Mayors impressive adaptation of Rdof Frinls memorable operetta, with Jeanetye Macdonald in her seventeenth musical triumph, is Hollywood's new offering opening Thanksgiving Eve, at Midnight at the Loew Poli Theater.
 Allan Jones and Warren William as the stars leading men will de- light the audience.
 "The Firefly" presents a powerful story of dramatic romance, as well as vehicle for remarkable music. M-G-M has gone the limit in its settings and in the artistry of pre- sentation.
 Hunt Strornberg and Robert 2. Leonard produced and directed, re- spectively, and in the opinion of this reporter the combination sllr- passes its Academy Award winning collaboration a year ago with "The Great Zigfeld."
 Lavish scenes in the High Sierras and others made on thirty massive sets present the sweeping drama of old Spain in the period when Na- poleon was defeated by Wellington at Vittoria.
 Seven thrilling musical numbers, five of them from the original Frin1l operetta, feature the picture. Two others were written by Frifnl especially for the film. Miss Mac- Donald dances beautifully and sings Love Is Like A Flrefly," He Who Loves and Runs Away" and "When Q Maid Comes Knocking at Your Heart" in perfect voice.
 Allan Jones sings "A Woman's Kiss" and "The Donkey serenade," and they sing in duet, "Giannira Mia" and sympathy" with charrn- ing effect.
 The second big hit on this pro- gram is "Portia On Trial" soul- stirring drama that could be cree ated only from the pen of that noted authoress, Faith Baldwin. This dramatic triumph features Walter Aebl, Frieda Inescourt, Neil Hamilton, Heather Angel, and Bar bara Pepper in the leading roles.

GET THAT NUMBER

When there has been an accident involving your car and another one, be sure to give your name and license number and also take down the other drivers name and license number. To get his number is important for sometimes people give fictitious names. DO not rely on memory or on your powers of observation; it isn't the kind of clothes a motorist wears but the kind of numbers the car "wears" that often identifies the driver. Get names of witnesses, too - that's important.
