THERE'S a superstition
Il in Hollywood that an ac-
tor cast as a newspaper re-
porter goes right on into big
ger and better roles. Robert
Paige believes in it firmly,
because it's worked for him.
He was brought into pic
lures from radio because of
his ability as a singer-and
then he was given one part
after another in which he had
no chance to sing. He seemed
to be stuck in melodramatic
roles. Then he was cast as a news
paper reporter in Golden Gloves, !"
and again played q reporter in
Opened by Mistake" And now
he's booked for the leading male
role in Paramount's Dancing on q
Dime" musical comedy, In which
he'll play opposite Grace MacDon-
ald-and will sing and dance, at
last!

Sees Quality Crop

A sales supervisor on one Ol the
Border Belt tobacco markets cX-
presses optimism over the outlook
for a quality crop in that section
this season. His statement was
based on reports from six North
Carolina and three South Carolina
counties.
lie said conditions were uniform,
with no scarcity Of plants. Blue
mold has appeared in mild form and
has been largely held in check, with
cold, windy days and nights rctard-
ing planting. which is two weeks
behind. The supervisor discounted
rumOrS that many growers, due to
AAA restrictions, would go the limit
in crOWdlng plants in the field. He
said he found no evidence Of such
practice. He expressed confidence
that growers OF the section would
do nothing detrimental to production
Of quality crop Of tobacco.
Planting IS under way in this sec
ton by now. and growers are going
about the business in d normal way
and are, we believe. trying to abide
by the regulations they voted upon
themselves under the Federal con-
troll system. 1t is too early as yet t.
estimate the quality Of the crop. a.
plants are only just being set in the
fields All growers realize the bcnc,
fits to be derived from production OF
high grade leaf, and most of then
undoubtedly will devote their every
energy to producing the types that
will bring the very highest dollar
possible.
The war is gradually reducing
= the foreign outlets for surplus Amer
lean leaf. and, with that vital arm
of the tobacco business limp, the
situation certainly is not improved
