Singer Is Signed

Corinna Mura, exotic Spanish
American opera, stage and radio
singer, whose brilliance sent her
three times to the White House to
sing before President and Mrs.
Roosevelt, has been signed to long
term contract by R-K-O-Radio Pic
lures.
A special role for the black haired,
alluring Texas-born girl will be
written Immediately into the script
of the studios coming major film
feature, The Marines Are Ready"
which Producer Howard Benedict
sends before cameras this week with
Victor McLaglen, Edmund Lowe.
Anne Shirley, Tim and Jack Holt
and Binnie Barnes featured.

on all the major networks of this

Miss Henie not only has been
turned into romantic comedienne,
but she proves an accomplished one
She does don her ice skates finally,
but it is rather late in the picture.
The point is that she manages SO

role that never do you sit there
wondering when they're going to
put the gal on ice.
Altogether this gives every indi-
cation of being the comeback"
picture for Miss Henie. Sonia
Henie fans will insist she never has
been away, of course. And she has,
by virtue Of her touring ice shows,
managed to keep her income among
the high ones in Hollywood But
the fact remains that Miss Henie's
studio was becoming quite willing
to let her take her skates and go
play in somebody else's yard any

that first time they invaded the

PROPAGANDA METHODS PROVE
WERE NOT AT WAR YET

The administration loses no time these
days announcing the sinking OF any AM
crican ship. OF All attack on any Amerl-
can ship. bl ANiS beIigerent>.
That is as It should be. Tie people
should know these things But every
now announcement Of an American YES
sci attacked brings anew the question
from Americans, Has our navy sunk any
German submarines yet?" And there is
no answer.
OF course. there is a logical reason why
the administration does not announce
the sinking, if any. of Axis submarines
The navy wants to damage German NOR
ale Just as much aS possible and uncer-
talnty IS the greatest enemy Of morale.
Not knowing the fate of a vessel ! faI
worse than knowing it. even il the vessel
has been sunk
Inc haStI announcements Of American
snip Slnklngs. coupled with the Lack of
announcement about any AXIS ships
which might have been sunk. proves one
thing. however. The United States is
not yet AT war
A warning nation wants its people to
think that their armed forces are at
least mildly effective 1t does not want
the people to think that they are taking
a severe beating. and doing nothing about
il.
Yet the manner in which the news Of
ship sinkingS has been handled in this
country leaves the impression that we
are the long-suffering bystander who is
continually getting hurt. We get only
the bad news these days. We're told
only when somebody takes a Wallop a.
us; never when We take a Wallop at the
other fellow.
Common SENSE dictates that We must
have taken few Wallops at the Germans
by this time. Ii We haven't, We should
have.
We do not believe the administration
deserves any particular amount of criti-
cSm for its policy of not telling the peo-
pie about possible naval engagements in
which the | s. navy might have been
successful. We are not qualified to crit
icize such a policy. We do not know all
the reasons that may lie behind it.
We do believe. however. that the people
should realize that there is another side
to the story With they have not heard
We do not believe. in other words, that
Americans should allow themselves to
become the victims Of hyStera generated
by an administration policy Of telling the
bad news and withholding the good news.
If va move calmly and logically. we
shall have no regrets at the end. To act
calmly, W. must realize. at least. that
we are not yet possessed Of all the in
formation that IS TO be had.

A friend Of yours land ours) (he is
Writer) compares advertising writ
ing with winds.
He says there's 4 wind that lust
blows. IT doesa't t hurry anywhere. 1t
never gets attention. 1t doesn't fan
anybody. 1t never turns a windmill;
it can't; it can scarcely turn a corner.
1t doesn't make noise, it sighs; it
belongs III sunny summer afternoon.
He Gays there's another wind that's
part hurricane. 1t gets attention and
keeps it, gets into memories, gets
talked about. 1t knows where it's
going, and goes there. When it meets
barriers, poles, corners, narrow spaces,
trees, wires, cracks under doors, peo-
pie, it tugs and pushes, yells and
whistles. 1t takes hats and skirts
and things that hang on lines and
flaps and blow them to hellengone.
It's a wind!
He says advertising writing is COM
parable to winds, and what's the
use Of the first if you can invest the
ads you write with something of the
second, the quality of 4 hurricane?
He likes writer's who make their ads
sing or roar and whistle, call and
beckon and cozcn; likes writer's who
work to make impressions; writer's
who work to make us understand;
who work to make SUGGESTIONS that
are alive, that make eyes shine, ap-
petitcs sharp, hearts beat bit faster,
make ordinary hurrying folks start
to wishing snd wanting and planning
and BUYING writers who make ads
DOthings for their merchant employ
ers that their merchant employers
pray to have done.
That's all. He just said that.

So it has been whenever American
women have been called to take an
emergency They have always meas
ured up to whatever was required
OF them. If the present defense et-
fort causes Wayeless hair. rougeless
cheeks and dyeless nails. there is a
very strong probability that the wo-
men Of today will I've through the

Nature Will come to Their aid. The
