especially in schools, silver coins
are being boarded in large quanti-
ties throughout South Africa.
1t is estimated that in Pretoria
alone more than 100000 has gone
into hiding in the last six months.

taking the lead in campaign to
discredit the notes of the South
African Reserve Bank. Many ask

Princeton, N. j., is an attractive
town and one for which it would
be impossible to have any but the
friendliest feeling. Nevertheless 1t
is Princeton's fault that Washing
ton theater scribes cannot write of
new productions that local perform
ances represent premieres. So many
stop over in Princeton, which has
beautiful theater and a loyal
audience, for a single performance
on the Saturday night preceding
Mondays opening at the National.
Next new play to follow that
routine-last was Glamour Pre-
ferred," poor thing-will be Elmer
Rice's Flight to the West" That
is the play based upon Rice's ex-
perience, as transatlantic Clipper
passenger, which originally was til
tied Transatlantic" 1t opens at
the National December Is.
With reference to Flight to the
West" one can still go on guessing
whether the leading feminine role
will be played by Betty Field or
Claire Trevor. One memo on the
desk says Miss Field, the other Miss
Trevor. Having lost the envelopes
in which they came, we don't know
which was mailed first, which last.

Not forever is Cornelia Otis Skin

the other Thomas Jobs mot to the
Swift" In the meantime Miss
Skinner is doing one of her most
popular monodramas, "Old English
Garden" written by herself, as a
tribute to the sturdiness of heart
being shown by the bombed people
of England. :, Add admirable
performances: That of Sasha Lukas,
Troika maestro and violin soloist,
in getting silence from a night club
audience for his contribution to the
clubs floor show. Two seasons
make one point. . And worth
while one. :. After having botched

That Thursday date for the

Debated Grid Game
At the IranS.Lux

Football is again grabbing the
news reel spotlight at the Trans
Lux this week, for the cameras have
captured, among other games, high
lights of those in which consider
able interest still remains. There's
that Boston College Georgetown
tilt, for instance, covered somewhat
extensively for the benefit of local
fans who couldn't make the jour-
ney. And the cameras were on hand
for that debated climax of the Dart
mouth-C Cornell game, on hand to
count those one, two, three, four,
five downs. The Penn-Army, Michi-
gan-Northwestern, Princeton-Yale
and Redskins-Bears contests are
others from which high lights are
shown.
War and the national defense
occupy much of the rest of the at
tention of the Trans-LuX news re-
port. Jervis Bay survivors arrive in
Canada, Canada trains more pilots,
the Japanese bomb the reopened
Burma road, Americans leave the
Far East, World War l guns are
reconditioned, more bombers- are
shipped to England, the increasing
of our civilian army is begun and
it's family day at Fort Dix, the

for sailors. On the labor front Mr..

erS OF one mans collected works.
1t is Miss Davis considered opin-
ion that there is not a dramatic
dud in the entire lot, all the way
from Sadie Thompson of Rain
through the vigorously amoral wife
in Cakes and Ale" up to and in
Guiding the actress heroine of his
pot boilerish "Theater." 1t probably
is a correct estimate, although even
a broad-minded Hayes office might
take the idea that some of the lot
are violently impossible.

Miss Davis should not have any
difficulty finding enough unpro-
duced Vaughan lying around studio
library shelves. 1t is not all owned
by Warner Bros, the parent studio,
naturally. Vaughan is as popular
IN Hollywood as he is prolific. Ac-
cordingly, he has been snapped up
almost as fast as published, even
though only four considerable pro-
auctions of his work have been
offered the movie public. Studios
owning his work either would be
glad to sell it to Warmers or to
borrow Miss Davis from that COM
pany in case she would like to
dedicate her talents permanently
10 playing his bad girls.
If Vaughan felt the same way
about it Miss Davis yearning ought
20 produce something to watch,
considering the fact that he has a
