and what have you. What to do
with the rest of his life? He be-
comes a glorified robber baron, owns
newspapers and gold mines. He
marries twice The first wife is the
above-mentioned Ruth, but he neg
lects her for business. Then he
marries his ladylove - Dorothy
Comingore. But don't be fooled by
the name. She's really Linda VIM
ters and has quite story to tell.
Dorothy was born in Los Angeles.
She has red hair and green eyes.
She is % years old She changed
her name to Linda (of which there
are seven now in Hollywood when
Columbia signed her to stock con-
tract. But all I did was pose in

wouldn't let me act. I appeared in
two pictures walking up some
stairs in one and down in another" /"
Which is what she might still be
doing if she hadn't met Orson at a
cocktail party last summer. He
liked her, called for date. She
took him to a preview. He remem-
bered her when casting Citizen
Kane" She will age up to so in
the film.
Orson tells me he has received
half of the s150,000 for his four-way
chore. And spent it. He gets an
other $37 500 at the end of his first
two weeks of shooting And the
rest when the picture is canned.

houses so far this winter, and you find people wearing overcoats in- side as well as outdoors.
 Food Seems Plentiful
 Certain foods are rationed, but in such quantities that it creates no hardship and it does not appear that unoccupied France will Starve this winter. For meat, dairy prod ucts and bread the French citizen must go to his town hall and obtain three "cartes d'alimentation", one green, one white, one yellow, which he gets free. These cards are marked off into little squares with various quantities indicated on them in grams. When food is or- dered in restaurants, the waiter asks for the card and snips of the correct amount. The same system is used when a housewife buys food at the stores.
 The amounts allowed are gener- ous, and as a matter of fact per- son can live well without having any ration card. Fish, vegetables, wine, such meats as chicken, liver, tongue and kidneys are not ra- toned. Although I had no ration card, had a meal in Lyons which was one of the best I have ever eaten, but without butter, which is unobtainable. The bread is brown, but better than Spanish bread, and comes in the familiar yard-long loaveS of which the French are so fond. Tiny grains of saccharine take the place of sugar in your coffee"
 Stern Rules Relaxed
 Typical of the French attitude toward the rules which now restrict them is what a friend I met told me of the curfew law in Lyons. While the Germans occupied the city the law was strictly observed--all citi- zenS were in their homes at g D. m. Which, according to my friend, was mot funny" for the nights were long and warm. and it would have been pleasant to be outdoors. As soon as the Germans left, though the rule was still in effect, the French began to stroll out atfer curfew in defiance of the law and soon thereafter, seeing it was use- less to restrain Lyons longer, the ban was lifted.
 There are still a few German sol- diers in Lyons, but they are there only as members of the German military commission. There also are a few Italians with the Italian commission.
 There is lack of gasoline which becomes apparent immediately on entering France. There are virtu- ally no cars on the streets. For all of Toulouse there are only six taxis "a city of about 100000. Cars fueled with gazogene and charcoal burners are fairly common sight. though they never fail to attract curious crowd when parked.
 The bicycle built for two' is having renaissance in France along with bicycles of every other description. They are used for taxis, for delivery trucks, for any purpose it is possible to put them to, that will save gasoline.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-12-18

Most of them are refugees from occupied France with no place to go. Mothers with tiny babies sit up all night in the waiting -rooinS waiting for special refugee trains to take them who knows where. ; Men sleep cWrled up in baggage racks. Soldiers doze in the buffets with their heads on their arms while crowds about them talk and smoke and drink coffee and sleep. They all need sleep. None seems to know where they are going or when. They seem to be living in 8 daze.
 Soldiers by the thousands in all varieties of French uniforms travel in seemingly equal numbers in all directions-sailors, Algerian troops in red fezZ, we1l-dres5ed officers. The check rooms of the stations are full of them, sleeping on the coun- ters, eating their ration of bread . and sardines, smoking all night long. Many of the soldiers are as much refugees as their civilian travelling companions.
 Train Service Inadequate
 The trains run on regular sched- ules, but there are not many of them and there are always passen- gers standing in the aisles-even in the sleeping cars. Some cars are re- served for refugees. There are even the famous 40 and 8's being used on sidings as barracks for homeless soldiers.
 Buses supplementing the train service are crowded, too. Trying to get on a scheduled bus in rnoccu- pied France nowadays is worse than any New York subway rush.
 I arrived in Toulouse at Il p. m. It looked like most American cities do at 3 a. m, except that there was less light. France is not blacked out, but the street lights are few and there is no store windows light ing. All cafes and entertainment houses have, to close up, depending on the particular prefecture" at 10 or II at night. Up to that time, however, there is dancing and sing ing in some cafes, the opera is in full swing in Toulheuse and the movie houses with American films, for the most part, are well attend- ed.
 Perhaps one reason for the crowds in entertainment places is that there they can keep warm. No heat has been allowed in French

NEW SINGING '' STAR NOW IN
 CAPITOL HIT
Gloria Jean Is Featured in The Under Pup" End
 ing Here Tonight

A new motion picture star. pos sessing remarkable singing voice and personality at once warm and refreshing, is Universal's The Under-Pup," which ends tonight at the Capitol Theatre.
 She is Gloria Jean, an 11-year- old whose coloratura voice and natural appeal dominate picture replete with romantic, comedy and musical surprises" Presented by Producer Joe Pasternak, the man who also introduced Deanna Dur bin, Gloria will undoubtedly be compared to her stellar predecessor yet she has personality all her own.
 Gloria is by no means the whole show, however, nor is she the sole newcomer. One of the years long, est casts has been gathered. and all deliver in impressive style. In romantic assignments Robert Cum mings repeats his hit of Three Smart Girls Grow Up," while Nan Grey, again opposite him, is equally effective.
 It is Gloria who carries the most important character. She plays the part of Pip Emma" with the ease that bellies the fact that it is her first picture She is cast as a poor girl from the East Side of New York, whose ''lowly" station in life and her eccentric but loveable fam fly incur the ridicule of a group of wealthy girls at an exclusive sum- mer camp. The heart-break of Glorias attempts to make friends with the "Penguins, her winning over of bitter old-maid camp sponsor and the amusing part she plays in the lives of other adults provide the theme of the story.
