noticed?
Twin City Novelette,: The couple
in the spotlight this week have
been going together for some time.
They think the sun rises and sets
on each other. Life is just one
grand playhouse to them and they
are planning to build their own love
nest soon after their On-cOming
marriage. Together they have been
saving from their meagre salaries
and have saved approximately
$500, which was to have been spent
for their furniture and part for
down payment ON a house. Incl
dentally, the money has been de-
posted in the girls name at one
of the local banks. One month ago
a very dear" old flame of our
herOine's came to her, unbelnOwnst
to her fiance; put up hard luck
tale about needing $3.50 that day
for some trouble he had gotten
into, and promised faithfully he'd
sell his new car (Which is paid fOr)
the next week and refund her cash.
Our heroine had known this dear"
friend for many a year and knew
him to be reliable, so she drew $3.50
out of the bank, leaving only $50
on deposit.
Problem: It's been two months
since our heroine made the loan.
She has heard no word from the
"dear friend" In fact, she was
just told by a reliable person that
the "dear friend" has skipped town.
Now our heroine is in a fix, for
her real lovelight has decided that
they should draw their money out
of the bank and go furniture and
house-hunting next week. (She
knows she can't put it off cause
her fiance is determined and
stubborn honey at times.) What
should she do? Confide in him
with the truth? Will he believe?
Will he be angry? What do you
think? And what does Sal think?
She thinks the gal is a big sap.

VIA CARVER just a-beaming

So, Folks, I must be dashing

a Very Merry Christmas from

Former Miss Hawes
Seeks Reno Divorce
From Lloyd Moore
Ex-Senutor's Daughter
Charges Cruelty in
Petition

Mrs. Eppes Halves Moore, daugh-
ter of former Senator Harry B,
HaweS of Missouri and Mrs. Hawes,'
filed suit for divorce in Reno, New,
yesterday against Lloyd Moore, son
of the late Clarence Moore, Wash
ington society leader, who died in
the Titanic disaster.
A dispatch telling of the petition
gave cruelty as the grounds.
Mr.. Moore has been in Paris for
some time. He served as volunteer
ambulance driver during French re-
SiStance to the Nazi forces.
The Moores were married Decem-
ber 7, 1885, in New York City.
Previously. Mrs. Moore had been
married to Lewis T. Preston, Million
aire New York broker sportsman.
She was divorced from Mr.. Preston
in Reno September 10, 1884, on
cruelty grounds.
The Preston wedding, held in the
1925 F Street Club here, was one of
the most brilliant events of the $780,
81 social season. The bridegroom
chartered a train to bring a large
company of friends and servants, as
we'll as a dance band, to Washington.
Mrs. Moore lived in London at sew
eral times in recent years.
She made her debut here and had
several offers of stage career. Her
interests included sports and interior
decoration.

Oakie is Mussolini caricature and

Billy Gilbert is Herring" which

girl in laundry.
The idea of the picture is to make
people laugh at dictators, instead of
covering before them. The movie
ends on a note of hope with the
implied message-"Don't take Hit
lerism too seriously"
Miss Goddard, who arrives at this
moment, says 'after you hear
Charles speech in German double
talk, Hitler will not be able to make
another speech without the whole
world laughing. I'm so excited" !"
Paulette continues. THE most Won
derful thing has happened. I'm
going to be co-starred with Charlie" !"
Paulettes first and only previous
picture with Chaplain was four years
ago-"Modern Times"
Things have changed a lot for
Paulette in the intervening period.
She is now a star in her own right,
and gets $4,000 per picture-more
for "The Great Dictator"-and, ac-
cording to Chaplin, 'Gives an abb
solutely magnificent performance.
There's no other girl in this busi-
ness who could do as well as Paulette
with the role
Its the best part I'll ever have"
she tells me. Paulette has already
decided what she will wear at the
Carthy circle premiere-about Sep
tember IS. I'm going to buy a
long ermine coat with an ermine
hood and a tie-up round the mid
dle-rather like bath-robe." But
much more expensive.
Talking about expense - The
Great Dictator" cost slightly more
than $2000,000 Naturally, It's
market will not be as great as
former Chaplin masterpieces. The
totalitarian countries and those con-
trolled by Hitler, Mussolini, and
perhaps Stain, are more than likely
to ban the picture from their terri
tories. But" says Paulette, "they
didn't take Gone With the Wind
either, and we expect to gross about
the same" There was protest
from a Nazi official at the beginning
of the picture, but since then there
has been a satisfactory silence.
X + X
Like &c. w. T. W."-The Chaplin
picture is assured market in North
and South America, and the British
Empire only. From what know Of
the story and film, it should give
back its cost several times over.
The 100000, incidentally, came
from Charles own bank account.
Everything else to do with the pic
ture came from the Chaplin brain
with the exception of a $3.50 shar-
ing of the music with Meredith
Wilson (of the Good News" radio
program.
Chaplin is solely responsible for
the original story and the dialogue;
Evening star., 1940-08-30

he made the rough sketches for the
scenery and clothes-even to decid-
ing where the patches should go on
Paulette's dresses. He also produced
the picture, directed, and edited it.
The inspiration for "The Great
Dictator" came to Chaplin in the
spring Of 1898. "The result" says
Charlie, "of world events" it will
be the first time in his screen ca
reer-which began in 1913-that his
voice. apart from that double-talk
in Modern Times, will be heard by
screen audiences. They are in for
a pleasant surprise. Charles voice
Is very pleasant on the ears.
Usually after completing his films,
Chaplin goes abroad on vacation.
After Modern Times" he took
Paulette and her mother on cruise
to the Orient. After City Lights"
he went to Europe. This time it will
be South America or somewhere in
the United States, or Canada. AS
Charlie puts it where else in the
world can you go-and relax?"

Use of Vitamin B

Is Fitamin B useful in neural
gia as 1ceU as neuritis?
We haven't very many reports
on the use of Vitamin B in the
painful form of neuritis, generally
called neuralgia" Its usefulness
has been demonstrated when the
nerves are involved on the muscu-
lar side causing paralysis, but
when on the sensory side, causing
pain, Eitamin B does not seem to
work quite so well.
In a great many of the late re-
ports on the usefulness of vita
Minis, it seems to me evident that
the action of the vitamin is like
that of a drug rather than a re-
placement factor. In other words.
1t could not be said that the Vita
min B in these cases of neuralgia
was absent from the diet, and that
this absence caused the neural
gla; rather that thiamin chloride
which is concentrated Vitamin
81, acts in neuralgia as a drug
and must be given by the physi-
clan IN larger quantities than
would ordinarily be taken in the
food.

A shake-up in the Connecticut division of the U. s. census bureau may lead to the promotion of w. Harry Byrnes, now census supervisor for the Waterbury area, to the post of census director for western Con- necticut, it was reported today. This would be followed by the appoint ment of John H. Burils, now assist ant to MT. Byrnes, as the latter's successor.
 It was understood that Senator Daniel J. Mccarthy, of Ansonia, census director for the western part of the state, plans to retire soon. The district which he directs in- cllldes New Haven, Fairfield and Litchfield counties.
 Mccarthy AS Postmaster
 One version is that Senator Mc- Carthy will soon be appointed act- ing postmaster at Ansonia,. where the postmastership has been vacant since the death of Postmaster Mi- ctael c. Cook. Senator Mccarthy would, then presumably apply for permanent appointment as post master. The Ansonia postmastership pays $3E00 a year. A permanent appointment means virtually a life- time job.

 Dies couples his demand with g statement that he, intends to ask sthe House immediateIy to sustain one committees contempt citation of Dolsen for his refusal to disclose the true identity of the Communist who used MT. Roosevelt's name.
 He pointed out that Dolsen, a slight, 55 year old former WPA work CT, had admitted he printed the name (Franklin D. RoosevelD on the card" and said he would write the Pittsburgh district attorney at once asking that prosecution be in- stituted.
 Secret service agents, meanwhile, pushed an independent investiga- tion of circumstances surrounding the Roosevelt" membership card which was revealed during Dolsen's testimony before the committee yes- terday. White House Secretary Stephen T. Early said 1t cannot be anything less than 6 forgery"

Kaufman brought out yesterday that Connecticut banks had loaned $500 900 to alcohol companies operv ated by Benjamin Simon, who has pleaded guilty along with thee sur- viving Musica bothers, and Irving Feinberg, both of whom knew about Coster's past.
 Bitzer testified that the Manu- lecturers Trust company of New York had reported in 1881 that Fein- berg was under indictment as boot legger and recommended caution" in dealing with Feinberg's firm. But. he added, nothing had been proven" and his bank did not want to hurt "a customer on rumors and suspi- cion."
 Ibid you feel Coster was doing something for the bank and you had to do something in return?" Kauf- man asked.
 ''That's ridiculous" Bitzer said.
 Start of Business
 Simon and Feinberg entered the alcohol business in 1928 with $25,- 900 capital, using cosmetics com- pany, with an alcohol-withdr permit, as blind for bootlegging operations. Coster had taught them the trick, doing similar alcohol business under the guise of hair tonic manufacturing, Yesterdays witness, Charles w.
