THE NEW CHEVROLET

Chevrolet, which led the industry
in sales in 1910, makes its bid for
continued pre-eminence, in 1941,
with two series of new cars, in which
modern streamline styling, and larg-
err, roomier bodies, combine with
numerous mechanical improvements
to produce the finest Chevrolets ever
built.
The famous Chevrolet vacuum
power shift, which created sensa-
ton when introduced in 1889, is
standard on all models of both SER
les, at no cost.
Bodies are longer, wider, and
much more massive looking. Their
appearance mass is concentrated
near the ground by changes in body
and fender contour, as well as by
judicious use Of decoration and trim.
Windshields, rear windows, and up
per portion of sides of body are in
creased in slope, and the tops of
side windows are one inch lower
than in 1910.
The cars sleek appearance is
heightened by the omission of run
ming boards, as well as by the use of
concealed hinges on all doors and
trunks, the sole exception being the
rear deck door hinges Of the coupes
and cabriolet. Sides of the body ex-
tend outward and downward notice
ably farther than last year, and the
skirt of each door conceals con-
venient rubber-ribbed safety step
to facilitate entrance and egress.
The safety and convenience provided
by a running board are thus retain
ed, while the less desirable features
are eliminated. Dirt, water, snow,
and ice cannot accumulate upon the
step, because it is effectively shelter
ed under the flare of the doors low
er edge. This not only makes the
car easier to clean, but assures a
firm, dry footing to persons getting
in and out.
ing die-cast radiator grille frame

hood, and front tenders from which
the valley is entirely eliminated,
dress the front end of the car. Seal
ed beam headlamps, integral with
front tenders, are relocated for bet
ter appearance, separate parking
lamps of flush type being set in the
eopdorc inst honaofh
Interiors are roomier as well as
more luxurious. They embody num-
erous refinements, whose aggregate
effect is to make these cars the
equals, in riding comfort, driving
ease, and safety, Of cars of far
higher price. Their restful, roomy
ease is apparent the moment the
door is opened. Rear seats are lower,
a change which not only makes for
comfort, but also--by bringing pas
senger weight nearer the ground
contributes to stability and safety.
There is greater room across the
seat cushions, and also at elbow and
shoulder levels. Footroom Is more
than ample, as before. Front seats
are substantially wider, and are adj
Unstable, and those in two-door
models have convenient divided
type backs.

M She started out as one of those orien-

in such roles. Then she stepped into the part
of an English girl in both Dark Angel and
'Wuthering Heights" - and achieved new
success. Now, in I'VE Shall Meet Again, she
is modern American, and finds it. incident
ally, her most agreeable part.
Variety y the unusual, the unpredictable
- lights her personal life. as it does her film

To begin with, Merle was born in Tasmania.
That is very unusual except for Tasmanians,
and she isn't Tasmanian. Her father, a

everyone even more.
Merle cried all that night Patience finally
won another test in the London studio of an
American company. The test crossed the
Atlantic. A big executive wrote:
why do you waste our money testing un-
knowns like this O'Brien dame?"
Three yearslater after Alexander korda cast
her as Anne Boleyn in Henry VlII and she
became famous. the same big executive wrote:
why does this guy korda have to discover
everybody? Why don't you discover some
body like this Oberon dame?"
To which the London man replied
Look up Test 274-L. O'Brien - Oberon.
Oberon - O'Brien. Say it over. pal!'
MEANWHILE Merle had worked two years in
obscure bits. That slant to her eyes made
every makeup man mutter, Oriental! and
reach for crayon. Even before Henry VIII,
however, Sam Goldwyn had seen through the
disguise and tried to borrow her from korda,
but Daryl Zanuck beat him to it and used
her in 'Folies Bergere."
She went from there to Goldwyn. The
makeup man followed tradition and she was
led in looking like the Haunt of Hankow.
GO wash your faoe!' Goldwyn ordered.
For me on the screen you are going to play
what you really are - fne lovely girl"
Asked the biggest moment of her life her
reply is unhesitating: That was it,"
Not since the late Jean Harlow has any
actress been so beloved by those who work
with her. Poise, charm and generosity of spirit
conquer Hollywood like any other town. A
liking for people and capacity for real fun
are even surer roads to friendship. She
goes where she has the most fun Overhearing
the electricians on her set planning fishing
expedition, she asked if she might go. She
was on the boat at three in the morning, was
one of the few to escape seasickness and
caught the biggest fish, 26-pound tuna.
Columnists for months linked her name
with almost every eligible man in Hollywood.
Last summer in the South of France she fooled
them all by quiet marriage to the brilliant
Alexander korda.
She is one of those people whom weather
affects. Gloomy days she is very quiet; SUM-
shine makes her gay. But rain or shine, her
agents forbid her ever to make business
promise "She'd work for nothing, they say.
She's tried to, several times" Merle smiles
1T isn't as bad as that. But I'm probably
the worlds worst businesswoman.

ROYAL THEATRE PROGRAM

THE Quarterback" which open
ed yesterday at the Royal Thea

in theme from the usual football
pictures, it has Wayne Morris in a
dual role, a twin brother, and the
two Wayne Morrisses have every
enc on the edge of their seats most
of the time.
In this dual role the blonde and
blue eyed Wayne looked every

Beta Kappa, his other self, he has
a romance with the blonde and
beautiful Virginia Dale. AS tn e
football star he also romances,
with Virginia and auburn Lillian
Cornell, who also sang some songs
well. Romance and football was
the theme, with plenty of comedy
and suspense.
An excellent cast supports the
principals including William Fraw-

FIGHTING 9th" WILL
CLOSE AT THE BIJOU

James Cagney's newest starring
picture the Fighting Goth" will
end a two day run today at the
Bijou theatre.
In The Fighting 69th," he shares
starring lonors with Pat O'Brien
and GeorgeSBrent, with a featured
cast including Jeffrey Lynn, Alan
Hale, Frank McHugh and dozens
of others.
Cagney's name on the star list
usually guarantees a good rous-
ing action story, and THE Fight
ing Goth" is no exception. Cagney
is a cocky young buck private in
the famed New York regiment and
his career in the military training
camp is one long series of clashes
with authority, as he tries to buck
the whole code of military disci-
pline. The burly top sergeant,
played by Alan Hale, is his ma
tural enemy, and the encounters
between the two of them are in
the rough and tumble tradition Of
The Cock-Eyed World. United
in their attempts to reform the
young private are Father Duffy,
beloved chaplain of the Sham
rock Regiment" played by Pat
O'Brien, and wild Bill' Donovan,
the colonel, played by G 6 e
Brent.
Our program will be completed
