 10TH CENTURY
John Garfield Plays Lead ing Role of Fast Moving
 Film with Sincerity

The drama of life on the wrong side of New York Town is telling ly depicted in Warner Bros nov ing East of, the River" starring John Garfield, Brenda Marshall and Marjorie Rambeau, which closes at the 2Oth Century Thea tre tonight. d.
 Fast moving and exciting, the story is woven around colorful characters of New York's tenement jungle which have been artfully cast with capable, well-suited play CTS.
 John Garfield, who himself halls from the same setting used in East of the River" plays his role with sincerity. Brenda Marshall, lovely looking screen newcomer, proves her fine talent in role different than any of the several in which she has already won praise. Veteran stage and screen star Marjorie Rambeau does a fine job as the Italian mother. George Tobias turns in another comedy performance that is quickly bring ing him to the attention of movie goers.

.SCRAppY IRISH FOLK IN FILM
 AT CAPITOL
Judy Garland, George Murphy, Charles Win-
 ninger Head Cast

For entertainment that leaves 9 catch in the throat and laugh in your heart, Little Nellie Kelly, presenting Judy Garland in her first solo starring role, fills the bill at the Capitol Theatre.
 The Limitation of George M Cohan's smash Broadway stage hie is merry medley of songs ana comedy, scrappy Irish folk in their feuds and friendships, the romance of an Irish colleen on the sidewalks of New York, blended with few moments of poignant heart in- tereSt.
 Judy shows a new facet in her many sided talents ill the role, first of the young Irish girl who marries and journeys to the promised land of America-later as the joyous charmer of the Bowery, char acterization that easily takes it's place as one of her greater per- formances.
 The supporting cast is headed by George Murphy, who also appears in a role new to him, one in which he neither sings nor dances. Murphy proves excellent in this type of characterization Charles Winninger, seen as the elderly Irish grandfather, gets one of his best opportunities in months and makes the most of it. Douglas Me Phail, youthful baritone remem- bered for his work in Babes in Arms" essays the juvenile lead with sincerity and feeling.

 The Germans may have convinced themselves that the Russians are fresh cut of replacements, and can't resist one big push down south Also the Nszis regard hard frozen ground, still unencumbered by heavy winter snowfall as an ideal polo field for their panzers. That means the big push could begin now and land under full steam later in October.

What would such a Nazi drive reveal?
 Most observers here feel that the next German thrust may disclose these three situations:
 l. Hitler may have been using up gas and oil by the millions of gall Ions weekly He may have reached a point where he cannot wait until spring to replenish reserves. There fore he will muster big push, aim it at Rostov. If successful. this would give him the northern rim of the Black Sea, and put that body of water in shape for the start of the battle of the Black Sea. Oil is just beyond the seas eastern rim. 2. The Russians may be running short of critical war machines, such as planes. bombsights. tanks and heavy artillery. The United States mission in Moscow will be in posi- ton to report just what it would take to keep Russia in there punch ing.
 3. The German offensive may fall short. Both the Russian and Ger man armies need rest. Neither may be capable of sustained offensive just now, like the beginning Nazi drive. or counter offensive such as the Russians have started in the center As matter of fact. slow progress of the Russian counter punches indicates that the drive is more of an attempt to relieve pressure elsewhere than the start of a full-fledged counter attack.

It's this way:

It's this way:
 The Russians from the start have surprised the world with the amount of military machinery they had, and their skill in handling it. Nobody was more surprised than Hitler.
 But it seems apparent that the Russians must have thrown the best of their manpower and their equip ment at the oncoming Nazis. Like wise, the Nazis were forced to go all out.
 Both armies have been punch , drunk for several weeks. The Nazis found they couldn't drag up supplies quickly without roads They've been forced to slow down, and take count CT punches. On the other hand, the Russians themselves have been rock ed on their heels in all sectors. Now comes the crucial test. With cut long rest, how much more punishment can the Nazis deal out and how much more can the Rus- sians take?
 There's not military man of reputation in any world capital who will hazard flat prediction on this point. But most Washington ob servers do feel that the Germans have worked themselves into a posi- tion where they must pull more magic out of the military hat-and do it quickly-or lose momentum

simple, smart fashions which look
as though they should be always

The display Of summer fashions

few. Sensation of the show-and
we do mean sensation-was the
hand-painted evening gown by Tina

Hawaiian-inspired clothes have
caused a sensation in day and eve

featured was a tunic gown with a

short of a leap! Beautifully de-

things that so few can wear-and
so few can afford. Other more

outsider, would sound pretty inane.
But it's fun for the participants be-
cause they know each other, and
get the point of remarks which
would be meaningless to the inno-
cent bystander,
We could make some suggestions
on how you might develop your
latent wisecracking ability, if any;
but frankly, we think they might do
you more harm than good. For ex-
ample, one of the mainstayS of the
clever laugh-getter is the pun. A
neat play on words, tossed off at the
right moment, is almost sure to pro-
duce anything from smokers to
stitches.
But punning is an insidious habit
which, if not rigidly controlled, can
easily make you one of the worlds
worst bores. Before long you start
straining for your laughs, and your
wiSecrackS become worse and worse.
Eventually you reach point where
you can't let even the most casual
remark go by without trying to twist
1t into some impossible pun. After
that. there's nothing left for you but
gradual social ostracism.
In the same way, many a good
gagster can throw some of the tried
and true laugh-getters of the radio
comedians into a conversation at the
right time, with hilarious results.
But just because it works once, don't
assume you should keep on using it.

can get is a laugh at your own

your need is a carefree. ready-to-

choose one that is seamless If easy
cleaning means anything.
To prepare the pan for the cake
batter, cut heavy waxed paper to At
the bottom. Do not have it extend
up on the sides since it may be
troublesome when it is removed
later. Grease the bottom of the
pan well. Adjust paper; then
grease it thoroughly. The cake
batter is thin so it spreads quickly
to fit the pan.
While the cake is baking prepare
a sheet of heavy waxed paper
slightly longer than the length of
the cake and at least as wide. Dust
1t generously with confectioners'
sugar.
And now to this out-of- the -ordi-
nary way of handling the baked
cake. Immediately on removing
from the oven, loosen it from the
edges-usually it shrinks from the
sides enough SO that very little
cutting is necessary. There should
be no crisp edge if the directions up
TO this point are followed. If it is
necessary, do so while the cake is
still in the pan. Invert pan over
prepared waxed paper. Remove pan
Immediately. Peel paper from cake
quickly. Cool a few moments.
Starting at the near end fold the
extended waxed paper over cake
edge. Turn this end in well, then
roll cake and paper forward. Finish
roll so that the seam" is at the
bottom. Cool on a rack for a half
hour, several hours or over night,
depending upon use. A cake that is
filled when partially or completely
cooled will be less soaked. 1t helps,
too, to give 1t that distinctly pro-
fessional look. OF course, this will
depend somewhat upon the kind
of filling. Divide in half for two
different rolls. When ready to use,
unroll, spread with filling, reroll.
