HOLLYWOOD, May 12-John
Gunther, famed author Of the In
side" books-Inside Asia, Europe
and South America-and a foreign
correspondent as gifted as Richard
Harding Davis was in his most
colorful days, is writing story of
the signal corps for Colonel Daryl
Zanuck. Interesting how the his
tory of the branch of the service
that deals with communications
came TO be made into movie.
Here's the story: Colonel Zanuck
was dining with Andy Lawlor, W.
k. Hollywood agent, and discussing
the fact that many of our Holly
wood men, producers. directors,
photographers, technicians and
other studio folk are in the signal
corps.
Andy outlined what he thought
would be an effective movie deal
ing with the signal corps and the
colonel thought the idea so good he
promptly engaged Gunther TO
travel around TO the camps and
write the scenario.
PRO-RUSSIAN FILM
I hear through the grapevine
that M-G-M is preparing a pro-
Russian picture, the first of its
kind, so far as l know. to come out
of Hollywood. The title is "Guer-
rilla War" and il depicts the heroic
deeds of the men and women of
Russia who fight behind the lines
and whose unorthodox warfare has
helped give the whole world cour-
age 10 know that the Axis have
met their match.
The guerrilla fighters have In
many ways been as effective AS the
regular Russian armies and their
bravery and epic courage is one Of
the inspiring sidelights of the
present world holocaust.

Nv CHARLES GENTRY

: THROW AWAY your false
alarm clocks, because mo Time
for Comedy" is still clocking of
laughs faster than you can catch
your breath for.
Latest chuckling evidence Of the
success Of this Behr1nsn hit opened
in Ann Arbor last night with Fran
els Lederer IN the star role, sur
rounded by a splendid cast.
Since the vogue is now com
pletely for revival of hits which
have seen hilarious service in past
seasons. II Is only proper that the
Ann Arbor Dramatic Festival in
the Lydia Mendelssohn Theater
should pick this one for starter.
Lederer. OF course, appeared in
this originally with Katharine
Cornell and since she abandoned
the play has taken IT up for his
very own,
This Is as il should he. since
the principal role, that OF an au-
thor IN search Of his character,
Is the male, not the feminine one.
\ FINE ACTOR
While familiarity doesn't nee
eSsarily breed contempt, 1t has
made Lederer, after three years
Of playing the playboy playwright
so casual with the part that he
takes considerable liberties with il.
In fact he has become so Off
hand that he slows down what
little action Mr.. Behrman was able
TO invent for a comedy which is
predominately made up of dia-
Iogue.
A brilliant actor. Lederer hardly
needs TO Squirm and writhe his
way over the divan requirements
Of the first act.

NO MORE LAUGHS

The story. as you may recall
concerns. the eccentricities of a
nimble playwright; facile fellow
with words, who is tired of writ
ling comedy because he believes il
TO be banale.
In his navy blue funk. he falls
into the clutches of a pastel figure
who seeks TO be his serious" in
spiration. His lovely actress-wife
then has a terrific time, without
comedy. trying TO bring the boy
wonder 10 his humorous senses.
Untangling this particular tri-
angle presents several amusing
situations and the drawing-room
dialogue humorously fills in the
gaps.
Altogether it's well worth the
wear on your tires to drive out
and get glimpse of this produc-
ton. which is well staged and
neatly turned out.
Others In the cast include Ruth
Attaway and Lauren Gilbert.

SOUNDS LIKE CORNELL

Edith Atwater, who has the
Cornell role of the actress-wife
is excellent. Her voice, by actual
coincidence. is very like Cornell's
and she underplays a great deal
OF the part with exquisite re-
Istraint
Besides being very smart about
her business. Miss Atwater has
great personal charm and she is
dressed with great taste.
Doris Dalton may have been
nervous about opening night but
she exaggerates the role of the
siren TO a point of burlesque. Car
Benton Reid, as her husband, in
turn. offsets this with a calm ano
nicely deliberate delivery.

Gratifying Response

The results of recent Gallup Poll on the readiness of American workers to permit sizable pay deductions for the purchase of defense bonds extremely en- couraging.
 The poll discoses that two-thirds of all ful-time employed persons in favor of 10 percent wage de- ductions to buy defense bonds More than 54 percent would sanction Is percent deductions.
 maority of those who opposed the pay-reducton plan either were purchasing bonds of 10 to 15 percent of their incomes were in favor of voluntary bond buying
 The principal reasons given by voters who favor the deduction plan are that the government needs the money to win the war, and that money saved now and put into bonds will be of great to families after the war when consumer purchasing power will have to be bolsered
 Dr. Gallup notes that Treasury Department offc- ias probably will be surprised the extent of these deductions which the American worker is willing to- accept It true that the Treasury has been discussing some kind of wage deduction plan, but action has been postponed because of a feeling that the public will respond hberally on its own initiative
 50 while Legislators and Government officials search tor relatively painless means to finance the war the public apparently once again leads the way with its offer to dig down and deeply into it's pay envelope
