English Film Star
And Director Ready
To Fly Home
Both Have Already
Offered Services to
Their Government

II presume you are happy to be
here rather than home in England
at this time
Il certainly am not. Id give any,
thing to be there right now" This
last was Anna Neagle, British film
star. And what's more she's going
back.
So is Herbert Wilcox, director and
producer of Miss Neagles forthcom-
ing starring film. Nurse Edith
Cavell,' given a one-night showing
at Keith's Theater last night.
The star and the director were
here for the showing and are &C
companying the film on one-night
stands in principal cities through
out the country.
They will leave for their home
land aboard an Atlantic clipper two
weeks from today and they can
hardly wait.
Many Already on Way.
For that matter. according to Mr..
Wilcox, who saw service with the
Royal Air Corps in the last war,
scores of other British subjects in
Hollywood are itching to return
home. Many have already gone.
David Niven is one Production on
his new picture. "Raff1es," was sus-
pended Indefinitely.
Miss Neagle and I already have
offered our services" Mr.. Wilcox
stated yesterday. Il don't know
what they'll want me to do. I'm
ready for anything"
Miss Neagle. friendly and comely,
says she has offered Ito drive.
Drive what?
"Oh, I'm good driver" she states
Maybe an ambulance. Though !
guess they'll want me to entertain
! That's good for morale in the camps
you know, dancing and singing"
Their Income Revenue.
Mr.. Wilcox thinks the British gov
ernment probably will want English
stars in Hollywood to remain here
as the good will occasioned by their
presence and the income revenue
from their salaries will prove of more
genuine service than their occupy
ing military posts which thousands
of others can fill.
But keeping them here will be an
other thing, he admits.
Film production in Britain has
been virtually abandoned. according
to Mr.. Wilcox, and the same is true
| in France.
The presence of the British per-
sOnality and tongue in American
films" he believes, will be next best
to the showing of British produc-
tions."
Mr.. Wilcox is certain that movie
houses in England will reopen within
a short time and this undoubtedly
will cause a boom in Hollywood,
virtually the only production center
for films in the world with the in
dustry abandoned in Britain anC
France.
Boyer Was in France.
Charles Boyer was in his native
France when war was declared anc
Mr.! Wilcox figured Mr.. Boyer /.
there to stay for the wars duration
Others who probably will desert
the Pacific Coast to join his ma
jestys forces include such star:
as Enrol Flynn, Brian Aherne, Cary
Grant, Charles Laughton, who
fought in the last war at the age o.
II. and Sir Cedric Hardwicke.
Mr.. Wilcox had a difficult time
keeping Miss Neagle on the persona
appearance tour. "She was ready tt
return home when we saw the wal
headlines Immediately after al
appearance in California" he said
Miss Neagle interrupted: "HoV
long did they say it would take tx

names of officers of the executive
council and notation that 1t was
"a true statement of the confer

The declaration, which was pre-
pared in the form of stenographic
transcript, was forwarded to the
| Labor Committee by Senator Burke
Democrat, of Nebraska, author OF
proposed amendments to the Wag-
ner Act. 1t was placed in the COM
mittee record.
Senator Burke's Office said mem
bers of the union council had
wanted to testify before the Labor
Committee during hearings or
amendments to the Wagner Act.
| When the committee terminated
its hearings this summer it decided
| that those who had not received
an opportunity to testify could file

of the
Moment

L. S. wants to know if it is neces-
sary to enter into conversation with
friend while riding in a noisy
vehicle. Some people, L. S. says,
seem to think that when two friends
are riding together, no matter how
noisy the vehicle, they should keep
up show Of polite talk.
I can tell by the tone of L. SIS let
ter that she thinks it's all nonsense.
And agree with her.
Trying to compete with the noise
Of train in a tunnel is not con-
ducive to polite conversation any
how. And it looks awfully funny,
if you are the one who is not talk
ing, to watch your friend go through
such excessive throat and mouth
exercises merely to say II think it's
going to rain tomorrow"
The only sensible way to act,
when you are sitting by friend in
train is to look at the people across
the aisle, and just pretend that
you don't hear word your friend
is saying. Eventually she'll stop
talking, and you can both relax.

By ANGELO PATRI.

"Hows Toby getting along. John?"
II don't know, mother. Somehow
he doesn't seem to be getting on as
we'll as he might Gets into all sorts
of jams with his teacher, or his
mother. I don't know-Seems S
if"
Grandmother looked thoughtfullv
as her grown-up son. Then she
said, What kind of things is ne
doing, exactly, John?"
%, he forgets his homework and
has to be sent home for it. And he
doesn't always mind his mother. She
told him to get home early yester-
day so as to have his. music lesson
early. She wanted to take him
downtown to buy him a coat. There
was sale. And she fixed it with
the music teacher. He got home

His mother took him down and got

Dramatic
Features
Wisely
Your Potential;t;es
AS Glamour Girl
Nav Be Great
By PATRICIA LINDSAY,

There is no use sitting in tbs
corner and sulking because you do
not rate as an Al glamour girl.
Few of the glamour girls you so
envy are the breathtaking beauties
you imagine them to be. In fact,
If you rubbed elbows with them and
got close enough to scrutinize, you
would rate your own beauty little
higher. Those girls are clever
enough to dramatic their better
points and to be seen at their best
advantage.
And right there is valuable beauty
advice-why not create a situation
to shine? Create an opportunity to
look your very best?
You may be an out-doorsy type
Of girl. If that is the case, spend
a good deal of thought on accu-
mulating snappy outdoor cos
tune. 1t might be for skiing; or
a football game, or if you skate we'll
get yourself dressed up in a snappy
skating rig-even if you must give
up a few dates to make it yourself
When all is ready-create an op-
portunity to wear this costume which
makes you look pretty stunning. If
necessary arrange skating party
or get the crowd together for a
football game-and be sure that the
man you want to impress, gets an
invitation! Key up your makeup,
your hair-do, your accessories, to
what you wear, and act with a con-
f1dent poise, and engaging enthusi-
asm. But don't overdo it-act as
if it was an everyday occurrence!
Each girl knows which type of
clothes she wears we'll, and under
which circumstances she can shine.
1t is up to her to see that a time
comes when she can dramatize her
beauty and strut it before admiring
eyes.

CLEAR BEET SOUP.
SOUR CREAM.

Strain the juice from can of
small beets, mash the beets, and
strain the juice from them through
cloth to add to the original liquid.
Bring to the boiling point, season
we'll with salt, pepper and a little
lemon juice. Serve hot, with a
spoonful of sour cream floating on
top.
CROWN ROAST OF PORK.
We suggest this because it makes
a pretty and interesting dish, either
for family consumption or for a
dinner party. Remember that pork,
more than any other meat, must be
thoroughly cooked to insure its
wholesomeness.
Order your crown roast prepared
at the market; given a little time,
the butcher will be glad to do it
for you. Tell him to allow two
chops to each person. You may stuff
the center with ground pork or
you may use bread stuffing as
illustrated.
If you use the ground pork, when
you start to cook the roast remove
this, season it well with salt, pep
per, minced onion and one teaspoon
poultry seasoning. Replace in the
center of the roast.
If you use the bread stufflng, make
it as follows:
Cut the crusts off eight thick
slices of stale bread, cover the bread
with cold water. Soak until soft
and then squeeze dry. Add to the
bread one-fourth cup melted butter,
one well-beaten egg, one teaspoon
salt, one-fourth teaspoon pepper,
one and one-half teaspoons poultry
seasoning Cor a little finely minced
dried sage and thyme) and one
minced onion. Beat mixture with
fork until smooth and fluffy and pile
in the center of the roast.
Now put cube of fat salt pork
on the end of each chop bone to
keep it from charring and place the
roast, bones up, in a moderately
Slow oven. Roast 80 minutes per
pound at about 500 degrees until
done.
Before serving remove the pork
from the ends of the bones, slip on
frllls. Dot the stuff1ng in the CEN
ter with small cubes of bread which
have been sauteed to a golden
brown. Garnish with slices of fried
apples and prunes.

common questions which apply to
all kinds of parties. We're going to
answer them today, to help you
solve the little problems that come
up whenever you invite the crowd
over for an evening of fun.
@. Can you give me an idea
for serving refreshments in an
easy and different way?
A. Why not have a sandwich
bar" arranged on the dining-room
table? Set out platters or sliced and
buttered bread-white, whole wheat
and rye-and plenty of assorted
cold meats, cheese, tomatoes and
cucumbers, with olives and pickles
| as garnishers. Provide lots of hot
coffee, or any other beverage which
you prefer. Finish off with a big
bowl OF stuffed and sugared dates
or devils food cake for a more
elaborate dessert.
When 1t comes time to feed the
animals, turn them loose on the
sandwich bar and let them work
out their own ideas. Most fellows
and girls love to make their own
sandwiches, and some of the COM
binations they will create will be
marvellous to behold. Particularly il
you add onions and jelly to the list
OF possible ingredients!
Another simple and appropriate
autumnal menu is doughnuts and
hot spiced cider. And what's wrong
with toasting weiners and marsh
malloWs in the fireplace, and pop
ping corn? If you haven't done
this recently, there's a treat wait
ing for you.
@. How can 1 give a party in a
two-family house where space is
limited, and where the neighbors
object to the noise?
A. One way is to take the party
out OF the house by staging a scav-
enger or treasure hunt. or a weiner
roast. Another possibility would be
an early evening party, inviting your
crowd to come over for buffet sup
per after football game. Only the
most testy neighbors could object to
a little cheerful clamor at that hour
Of the day.
And you can keep a regular eve
ming party reasonably quiet by using
mainly pencil and paper games. You
can buy box containing an assort-
ment Of such games at most station
cry and department stores. Your
crowd will enjoy these wit-teasers
and you can vary them with an
occasional more active game, such
as the indoor treasure hunt which
we described in recent column.
And 'Sardines" is a nice, quiet
game-until the grand climax! Il
all other efforts fail, invite the
neighbors over and let them make
the noise. They'll love it!
@. How can I get my party
guests to arrive on time?
A. This is really a problem ir

the human race. If you ever reach
the point where everybody always

mon or garden" variety are fine, and
not at all nigh in price. All over
the markets one sees nice little pots
of chives and fragrant punches of
dried thyme and sage. Don't over
look these when considering the
stuffing for your Thanksgiving tur-
key!
Apples lead the fruit lineup, with
oranges and grapefruit close behind
I'm still hoping for tangerines, but
they haven't showed up at this
writing. Persimmons are good, but
melons, in general, have been of
poor quality lately. This condition
may be cleared up by the new ship
ments for the week end Juicy
russet pears and fine grapes will
add interest to the fruit bowl.
There is new type of smoked
turkey that is prepared in Penn
sylvania which has just come to my
attention. In addition to the smok-
Ing, the process includes treatment
with sherry, which give delightful
flavor and keeps the meat far more
moist than usual. This bird is being
tried out here in Washington, and
III give you a full report on it
when the opinions are all heard
from.
With Thanksgiving only two
weeks away, don't forget that there
are concerns here in town that will
supply your feast day turkey, and
will cook it for you, turning it out
complete with dressing and gravy
for a nominal sum. Mince and
pumpkin pies, too, can be bought
specially made, and simply slipped
into the kitchenette oven to heat.
These services are great help to
the woman who lives alone, or in
a very small household, and still
wants to entertain in the tradi-
tional manner on Thanksgiving
Day. 1t is best to place your orders
early, if you can, to insure the best
bird and the best service.

because he has a sense OF honor and
responsibility.
In the end you have to trust your
husband. The more fully you do it
the better for YOU. There is such
a thing as honor, you know, and the
husband whose wife puts her faith
in his integrity is far more apt to
go straight than the one whose wife
is always suspecting him.
No wife ever makes a more fatal
mistake than when she stands be-
tween her husband and his career
He may give in because she weeps
at the thought of parting from him
and stay with her, but he never for
gives her. and it isn't long before
he gets sick and tired of her. It is
the women who push their husbands
on to success, not the ones who hold
them back, whose husbands love
them to the end.
