Hollywood - The highest salaried
group Of chorus girls who ever hoof-
ed In Hollywood are kicking up their
glamor-gariS these days In q new
version Of the old hit play "Broad-
way" Collectively, these super cuties
also happen to be the worst dancers
seen in Los Angeles County since
the Junior League Follies OF 1920
1E Isn't that they're clumsy or In
epA or that they're going in for
ecrny comedy. In fact, movie au-
AAenceS won't even be aware Of the
endsveloped state Of their dancing
talent because their work as O
chorus will be shown only In brief
scenes scattered through the picture
for atmosphere.
ALSO SELF.DEFENDERS
You see, these chorus gals are
really actresses. They were chosen
for their ability to speak and reveal
snappy lines, and for beauty Of
face, and for aptitude In putting up
O good fight when paved by leering
gangsters. The wages OF these fancy
dishes start ct $3.50 week for the
least prominent one, and from there
shoot up sharply to an unstated top
for the leading lady, Janet Blair
Being actresses, they don't mind
being ribbed as poor chorus girls.
Miss Blair once studied ballet
dancing, but not this type. Marie
Wilson appeared in 1.-THE Great
ziegfeld" early In her career, but
she was q showglrl who just posed
and walked around. iris Adrian once
had O role as a member OF a honky-
tonk chorus, but that didn't offer
much In the way Of dancing train
ing.
Others Of the six babes IN Broad
way" are Anne Gwynne, Elaine
Morey and Dorothy Moore, none OF
whom could do time-step or shake
O sequin until rehearsals began the
other day. The dance director insists
he could have drilled them into q
pretty flashy group with q little
more time, but two or three al
ways seemed TO be busy In scenes
with George Raft, Pat O'Brien or
Brod Crawford.
TWO-GUN ANNIE
Most OF the gals have been lead
ing ladies IN their own right. Anne
Gwynne, now playing the second
feminine part, has every reason to
believe that 1t will do her O lot Of
good In Hollywood because she has
the opportunity Of banging a NUM-
Der OF pistol slugs through the
wicked Mr.. Crawford.
Marie Wilson, who hasn't yet es-
capped from the comedy blond cate

George Raft dances again In this
picture, and ne still can pick 'em
up and lay EN- down. AS the story
now is being filmed, It's definitely
biographical In places, beginning
and ending In the present. At the
start, for instance, Raft Is shown as
q Hollywood star arriving In New
York, and one OF his friends asks

order"
If the American public places
an order like that for consumer
goods-for the greatest supply of
consumer goods ever produced
there is no question that we will
get the same reply from industry
so long as we can show the color
of our money. And there's no
question that every man will keep
his job after the war, if industry
accepts this order.
In spite of taxes and higher liv-
ing costs, most of us still can fig
ure out how to do some real saw

worth plenty of sacrifice if we
look at it in the light of what we
are saving for.
