RCA had argued that it could
bring television programs to a
broad public sooner if they could
be financed by tooth paste or hair
tonic manufacturers. But the FEC
committee pointed out that although

Not today; perhaps not eve to-

There are television receivers on
the market costing from $275 to
$500. Manufacturers say that in a
year they will be cheaper. Many
ordinary radios this year have tele-
vision connections.
It will cost from 5000 to $500
less, statesmen are saying, to have
a television receiver attached to
sets like that, later, than it will to
buy a complete teleyision receiver.

Miss George has the larger femi-

she's the flesh.

And now, due to the eXigencies
and manifold mysteries of movie

the Hollywood term for it, is not a

it's almost unprecedented for fea-

finds time to be grateful for so much
activity and such diversified roles.
Hollywood is full of stories about
actresses who r brought here with

directly into oblivion. Miss Angelus,
though, will be the first person in
movie history to complete four A.
budget pictures before any of them
is released. If that isn't startling
enough, consider that she was not
hired originally as an actress, but
as a singer. So far, she hasn't warb

Studio Changes
Its Mind About Her

From then on, it was pretty easy
going-films to stage, stage to
films, and each change an upward
step. Upward in England, anyway;
Hollywood didn't want her. Nine
years ago she and another youngs-
ter, an actor named Ray Milland,
were tested together by Paramount,
and the result was something aw-
full. Chances are, however, that
they'll make a picture together. be-
cause both now are under long.te1m
contracts at the same studio. And
the studio, incidentally, is Para
mount.
Most of Miss Angelus' films were
silents, which prevailed in England
quite awhile after our movies be-
came articulate. The most silent of
all her experiences, though, was a
flicker she was persuaded to make
in Berlin. Il spoke no word of Ger.
man." she recalled, land nobody in
the cast spoke more tlan a word

interpreter for me who wasn't

posed to be doing. I didn't know
what action had gone before, or
what was to follow. I never saw the
picture, or even learned it's name.

Europe's northern conflict centered in the snowy Salla sec tor on the eastern front where dispatches reaching Copenhagen reported 10000 Russians were in retreat.
