up with a decision that we was not
even touched. It is all on account
of the flag system witch ] CESS you
never heard of so / will explane 1t to
you ma.
OF coarse we do not shoot each
other in these here war games but
at the same time nobody can tell
how the fight came out If it is all
forgot as just a cross country out
ing. So lot Of flags is used to de-
note where we are and what hap
pened. All we jeeps do is obey or
ders and we don't even know what
the main idea is. But the observ-
ers and umpires who have the whole
thing worked out on maps get idea
what wood of happened if 1t had
been a actual battle. Here is where
the flags come in.
An umpire waving blue flag in
dercates that you are smack in the
middle of an area witch is under ar
tillery bombbardment and that it is
a very unhealthy spot to stay in. II
he has yellow flag it is serposed
to show that you are under machine
gun fire and that il you 60 any fur
Their into it you wood be shot full
of holes in a real war. Another
colored flag means that we are adj
vancing thru a heavy smoke screen
and so on. / heard that in this last
battle somebody got all mixed up
on the flags and it still is question
witch got mixed up most the officers
or the referees. Anyhow one Off
cial said the flags meant my division
had walked right through a area
witch the enemy was giving the
works and that we was mostly
all dead or wounded. He said that
in a real fight all of us wood have
been legible to be buried as the I'm
known Soldier. Another referee said
nothing of the kind. He said he was
better Judge of flags than the other
fellow and that from what he saw
we had been safe all the time except
from more bunions.
OF coarse for all / know one OF
'en is color blind but I do not care
as long as the generals do not order
the game played over again.

is almost over as the weather seems

quand novel-it's difficult to see how
either of the two leading feminine
roles can be twisted around to fit
her, but stranger things are happen
ing in Hollywood all the time.
Maybe you'll be crazy about the
latest Walt Disney, "The Reluc-
.tant Dragon" But a lot of us wish
that Mr. Disney would abandon these
long features and stick to good short
ones. Both this one and Fantasia"
could be cut into several good
shorts.
In "SulIivan's Travels" you'll see
a Veronica Lake who'll startle you
Ia boy hobo, apparently, in turtle
necked sweater, old cap, blue dem
inn work trousers and a coat that's
too large for her. Her daughters
birth interrupted her picture max
ing for while, but Paramount went
right on making plans for her; she'll
be starred next in tThis Gun for
Hire" in which she'll portray a
magician who becomes involved
with munitions magnate in mys-
FERROUS murder. Which means that
she'll have to take lessons in the art
of magic.
Lewis Stone is taking time out
from the Judge Hardy" role, be-
tween the family chronicles, to play
an army colonel in "Steel Caval-
ry," the new Wallace Berry pic
ture. But he'll have to be careful
not to do anything the Judge
wouldn't do, or the fans will pro-
test.
Charles Laughton (have you heard
the new radio program, "Three Ring
Time" starring him and Milton
Berle?) would have been an inn
keeper if Laughton, ST., had had his
way. He placed Charles at Clar-
idge's, in London, to learn the hotel
business. And his son learned one
valuable thing-how to impress
naughty waiter. "Just order water
and a poached egg on toast" says
he. Seems that it gets them down
every time, especially if they've
been urging champagne on you.
The children who attend New York
city's public schools ought to find at
least some of their lessons pretty en-
joyable. They'll be shown Warner
Brothers national defense and his
torical shorts as part of the curricu-
lun.

 Hollywod.-So now the movie stars themselves have been giving away dishes!
 This is no bid for .,theater cus- toners, however. The dishes are aluminium; OPM and other agencies of national defense are the benef1- charles. The governments scrap aluminium drive found ready support in Hollywod where people have been wondering for years what to do with surplus of spun-aluminum cock tail shakers plus innumerable ob- jectS of moderniSttic but question able art made of cast aluminium These remarks are not intended as any reflection on the prime motives of the movie people, who can't do anything die-without being accused of trying to get their names into print. In the case of the alumi- mum collection, with bunting draped bins on every studio lot there were many extra-generous donations.
 Jane Withers and Carmen Miranda simply took every alu- minum article out of their kitchens. Gene Tierney (Mrs. Oleg Cassini) telephoned the Cobina WrightS for approval to give away the elegant cooking set which they'd sent her for a wedding present. FIELDS ERRS

LIGHT, WHlMCAL COMEDY AT STATE
Ginger" Rogers Starred in Tom, Dick and Harry
 Opening Tomorrow

Performances this evening at Warmers State theater conclude the engagements of "Three Sons o. Guns" with Wayne Morris, Mar jorie Rambeau, Irene Rich, Tom Brown and others; also John How ard, Brod Crawford, Leo Carillo and other funsterS in Damon Runyon's Tight Shoes"
 Vivacious Ginger Rogers, whose delft portrayals of the typical Amer icar girl have made her one of the most popular and belt-loved stars of the screen, is said to deliver an- other excellent characterization in her latest offering From, Dick and Harry, which has its initial show ing tomorrow at the State theater.
 In contrast to the versatile Gin- gers last film kitty Foyle," which won her the famous Academy Award, the current vehicle is a light whimsical romantic comedy and presents the talented young actress as very romantic, highly imag- inative telephone girl.
 George Murphy, Alan Marshal and Burgess Meredith are seen in the title roles, turning in a triple threat performance that further -e- veals their propensities for spright- ly comedy.
 Replete with hilarious situations, smart, punchy dialogue and great deal of whimsical fantasy, the breezyz story revolves around the hectic adventures of 8 telephone girl who allows herself to become engaged to three men at the same time. Tom is terrifically ambitious car salesman who is determined to forge ahead at all costs; Dick is a Suave, carefree son of wealth who never did lick of work in his life and Harry is g happy go-lucky ga- rage mechanic who would rather fish and loaf than be concerned over the fate of his future. All are charming young gentlemen-all are engaged to the romantic working girl before the story reaches the halfway mark.
 How they influence her ultimate decision when the showdown comes and she is obliged to choose her mate, leads to the surprising cli- max and rounds out thoroughly enjoyable show.
 Others included in the cast are Joe Cunningham, Jane Seymour, Lenore Lonergan and Vicki Lester.
 The second big hit of this pro- gram is They Meet Again" star ring Jean Hersholt as "Dr. Chris tian" and featuring Dorothy L,ovett.
 Coming to the State on Wednes- day is an adventure packed thriller titled Highway West" with Brenda Marshall and Arthur Kennedy in co-starring roles and featuring Olympe Bradna, William Lundigan and Slim Summerville. Included on this same show is a star studded musical Time Out for Rhythm with Rudy Vallee, Ann Miller, Rose mary Lane, Brenda and Cobina, the Three Stooges, and among others Glen Gray and his Casa Loma Band.
 Winding up the summer show season at the State are such att fractions as "ManpoWer" co-star- ring Edward G. Robinson, Marlene Dietrich and Geroge Raft; Hit The Road" with the Deal End'' kids and the Little Tough Guys; But Abbott and Lou Costello in another comedy hit Hold That G host' with the Andres Sisters and Ted Lewis and his entertainers; and among others Errol Flynn in Dive Bomber"

paign's conclusion.
 CORRECTION, PLEASE

This department would like to clarify a recent item predicting "alu- minum admission days" at theaters. According to plans discussed among some ehibitorSx, any aluminium utensils would be accepted at box fflceS for admission to designated performances. And then, I said, theaters would sell the scrap metal.
 What I neglected to add was that this scheme had no connection with Scrap Aluminium Week, which was an OJM sponsored drive. In fact, a representative of OPM requested that theaters de- lay the barter plan until after the nationwide campaign.
 But it turned out that quite 8 few movie exhibitors wanted to help the drive by accepting alu- minum at the box offices and then contributing it to the municipal heap. My previously written item was regarded in at least 8 couple of instances as casting a commer- cial tint on purely patriotic ges- lures.
