ROsalind Russell's
Film at the Met

Rated high among those pictures
which seem to be limiting a current
cycle of husband-in-name-o only
comedies, must stand This Thing
Called Love" which now has moved
into the Metropolitan for a second
week downtown. For this frolic
boasts as its stars Miss Rosalind
Russell and Melvyn Douglas, two of
Hollywood's most adept farceurs,
pair of experts who probably could
make bright antic out of one-act
play written by backward CHM
panzee. And This Thing Called
Love" is hardly that. 1t casts Miss
Russell and Mr.. Douglas as newly
married couple at odds over the
recipe for successful marriage; she
bride with new idea, he a BRIDE
groom with the customary old idea.
It's very fast and furious and funny.
The thing it is not is subtle. Neither
is it for the young or the delicate
or the easily shocked. H. M.

pace of his fathers footsteps, the
Count of Monte Cristo, son of the
well-known Count of Monte Cristo
who dug his way out of prison to
get a shave, is about now saving a
grand duchess and her duchy. He
is doing this in picture called,
aptly enough indeed, THE Son of
Monte Cristo," which is now at the

Louis Hayward is the count,
beauteous Joan Bennett the grand
duchess he saves from a fate worse
than dictatorship. He does it
against considerable odds, too, slash

the male lead has not yet been set,
the role is likely to go to James

him a star overnight.

Cute Kathryn GraySon has
sprained her ankle. This youngster,
who makes her singing and acting
debut in Andy Hardy's Private Sec
retary," is scheduled for big things
in Hollywood. There is some mys-
terry about her age. Some say she
is Is, others in the studio are just
as convinced she is 19. I think she
is II. Bruce Cabot lunches at
Warmers, and there at the next table
is Marlene Dietrich. I gather that
one of the reasons for Bruce's cold
ness to Marlene is that she stood him
up three times in the Universal Por-
trait Gallery. On the last occasion
it was his day off, and very unwill-
ingly he consented to do the pub
licity chore with his leading lady
And when she did not turn up he
naturally was sore.

YOUR NERVES AND YOUR FOOD

YOUR NERVES AND YOUR FOOD
 The nutritional basis of nerve weakness" is of Fundamental con- cern to everybody in America. It has much to do with national vigor and morale. On the calcium. phosphorus. vltamin D. Metabolisrn depend cour- age, stability and endurance. On the vitairin B complex intake depend functional efficiency in general.
 Chief cause of calcium phosphorus deficiency is low consumption (per capital of dairy products, milk cheese, cream, eggs, butter-butter and cream and egOyolk are virtually the only natural foods containing significant amounts of vitamin D. Contributing cause, insufficient ex- posture of naked body to sunlight Uitra.volet rays of sunshine gen. crate vtamin D n the skin.
 Chief cause of vitanin B com- plex de4lciency Is universal prefer eace for and use of refined white flour and refined white sugar In the diet. As has been pointed out by recognized nutrition authorities. the average American diet today sup- piles barely 50 international units of B, and comparable small amounts of the essential entities of the B complex, whereas the average Am. erican diet of iS40 supplied -o0C international units of Bi In approxi- mately the same number of calories in the carbohydrate portion of the diet (starch of wheat, crude sugar and molasses). The difference is due to the fact that up to le40 whole wheat flour and unref1ned raw or brown sugar and rnolasses were the staples of the diet, contributing more than half of the calories daily; whereas since bloted roller mill flour and refined, bleached sugar came into use, these carbohydrates, still contributing more than half of the calories, are practically devoid of vitamins, which are removed or destroyed by the refining processes
 So there you are. You can't get your vltalnins and throw 'e9n away too. If you have the brains God gives goose you should be able to comprehend that there is nothing harmful, indigestible or unfit for human consumption in the wheat the plain ordinary farmer grows.

BEBE DANIELS FORESEEs JOHN BULL AS ASTYLE LEADER AFTER THE WAR
By NEA Service

New Britain has always had one fashion forte whose ex- cellence even Paris saluted. That is the production of tweeds and spec tator sports clothes plus impec- cable tailoring. The war has not slackened the Briton's skill in this field and peacetime will find John Bull right up front among the worlds style leaders.
 That is the opinion of Bebe Dan- iels, former top-flight American screen star, who for many years has been one of England's favorite entertainers. Her "Hi Gang" radio program continued all through the blit7. She and her husband, Amer ican actor Ben Lyon, stopped In New York recently before returning to Britain after Q vacation In the U. s.
 TAILORING DOESN'T MEAN TAILOR-MADE
 Bebe Daniels Is typlcally Amer ican, in appearance as well as tastes. Both these qualities, plus her wiSe- cracking (aild wasecracking comes @ naturally to Bebe aS powdering her nose> have contributed to her popularity.
 Having to make 6 film in which ~fn Gang would feature, Bebe Daniels had to see about getting some clothes. Now Bebe knows Q good deal about clothes. Besides oos- sessing c natural flair for style, she herself ct one time owned five shops in America strung from coast- to~coast specializing in spectator sports clothes. She also affirms s)le was responsible for introducing tailored slacks to Hollywood and for launching sharkskin for playttme clothes.
 "1 think British woolens and British tailoring are Q combina- ton which can easily prove ln- beatable anywhere in the world" Bebe said.
 "All the clothes had made for this British picture, aside from one
