scum Of Modern Art in New
York is the first to be shown in
the galleries of the Detroit Insti-
tute of Arts for the year 1941.

duration of the war. The exhibit
ton includes also pictures from
the collections of the Museum OF
Modern Art. acquired within the

viously owned by German mu-

artists as Picasso. Derain. Cha

Women and Youth Pay
To Create Movie Stars

the heroines follow along like
Marys little lamb? Not that
the women fans don't like to see
the gals. but romance is ro-
nance and right there in the
row of winners is its potency,
begorry.
And now for another im~-
tant eye-opener. What about
those tremendously high-priced
stars who demand a kings ran
som for every picture they make
and get it. The Carlos, Hep
burns. Cary Grants, Claudette
Colberts and others. Where are
they on this list of favoriteS ?
Try to find them. that's all.
Isn't it likely. then, that Hol-
may begin to wonder If
all those wads and wads of cash
demanded and received for each
performance may be bit on the
ridiculous side when they fig
ure Rooney. the king of the lot,
has only recently been boosted
to a four-fgure salary. and
mighty little four figures at
that.
And at that Judy Garland is
another comparatively small
wage Garner and the rest of the
winners are all straight sal
aried boys and girls. Oh sure.
they get nice fat salaries, we
agree. but they are far from the
fabulous sums demanded by
other stars who never make the
team.

WHO goes 10 the movies?
w One look at the Motion
Picture Herald'S list of the 10
best moneymaking stars of 1910
reveals the answer. It's the
women and the youth Of the
land who keep the old movie
wheels going. and with eight of
the list big time heros, who can
deny 1t!
It's the women who pay 10
see such favoriteS as he-men
Gable. Tracy. Cagney and the
handsome Tyrone Power as we'll
rs Crooner Crosby. And it's the
youth of the land who pay on
the line to see Rooney. the top
winner. and Judy Garland, the
5second actress on the liSt-thc
other being Bette Davis IN
ninth place, who just couldn't be
overlooked. It's the kids who
love Aubrey and Beery and who
are mainly responsible for their
names adjoining the list.

Revitalizes Theat

Tho consensus Of opinion
among even those who deny his
genius and consider him some
thing of a bumptious upStart. is
that the young man from San
Francisco has brought some
thing new. vital and refreshing
to the theater. Certain it is that
he has defied convention with an
abandon which would make the
Sedate take refuge in an air raid
shelter.
As a playwright he is as the
atrical as any of the characters
he creates and the legends about
him during the past two years
are legion.
