since IQcI appear dliCC ScVSAoA
months ago on Keynote Recordings,
the Almanac Singers have proved
themselves the leading vocal organi-
zation OF the present day to carry
what might be called an American
message. Not only are they COM
petent on the basis of singing merit;
much more important, they have
adapted an indelibly American mu-
sical idiom to suit themes Of a cur
rent topical nature. This idiom-
which is the hillbilly or country
dance for the most part-lends Pc
culiar effectiveness to the words the
Almanacs originate. And by the
same token, the charm and humor
of the lines Of their rugged poetry
give emphasis to the point or pic
ture they are trying to convey.
Less of minor document put to
music than their previous Talking
Union" set, the Almanac's latest en-
deavor, Dear Mr.. President" aims
rather to characterize our people In
| wartime. Or at least to state the
feelings which should be uppermost
in the minds Of Americans In crisis.
There is the fruity talk-song, Dear
Mr.. President" in which the letter.
writer allows:
Now Mr. President
We haven't always agreed in the
past, know,
But that amt at all important
now.
What is important is what we got
to do
We got to lick Mr.. Hitler.
War means overtime and higher
prices,
| But we're all willing to make
sacrifices.
I'll even stop fighting with my
mother -in-law
Cause we need her too to win the
war-old battle ak.
Now, as I think of our great land
With its cities and towns and
farming land,
With so many good people a
working every day,
I know it amt perfect, but 1t will
be some day,
Just give us little time. .

STATE

Thrills galore await theatergoers at Warmers theater today when "Saboteur" sensational film that puts the spotlight on fifth column ists in war time America, arrives at that theater for 8 four day stay.
 Traitors in evening dress, secret lookouts, 8 battle ship dynamited and an aircraft plant destroyed are only a few of the spine tingling and shocking scenes which "sabo- teur" brings to the screen. You'd like to say it can't happen here in America, but every jolting scene is true. "Saboteur" will probably do more to arouse the American pub- liz to fifth column perils now ex- isting within this country than any, thing that has yet been done.
 "Saboteur" presents Priscilla Lane and Robert Cummings in CO., starring leads and according to re- ports they turn in the finest per- fomances of their separate careers.
 The picture is based on Hitch- cocks own original story idea and provides the famous director with the correct elements for bringing | the famous Hitchcock touch into its fullest use. It is truly picture that will have audiences gripping their seats from the opening shot to the final "fade 2".
 Both Miss Lane and Cummings, thoroughly established as stars in the light comedy field, assume new and greater importance in the cinematic realm as a result of their work in this offering, in which they give delft etching to tragically dramatic characterizations. Cum mings is seen as a young Glendale California aircraft factory worker who is falsely accused of sabotage, and who sets out to track down the real saboteurs in order to clear his own name. Miss Lane is the girl who at first suspects the truth of the charges against Cummings, hut later becomes convinced of his in- nosence and goes to his aid.
 Norman Lloyd, Broadway stage character actor making his camera debut in this picture turns in a bril- liant performance as the vicious dynamiter and killer of the sabotage ring. Other outstanding portFayals are those of Otto Kruger, as the multi- millionaire head of the sabo- teurs; Alan Baxter and Clem Bev- ans, as his ueutenants; Alma Krug. CT as the society leader who becomes involved with the gang through her

STRAND

It's here, folks! Yes, that grand musical techni-color hit Song Of The Islands, opened & three-day engagement today at the Strand theater. With stars Betty Grable, Jack Oakie and Vic Mature turning in top performances, it's a gay piece of entertainment. The plot tells the story of Vic's arrival on a Polyne- sian Isle to run his fathers cattle ranch with the assistance of Jack Oakie. Vic falls in love with Betty, but their romance is far from smooth due to the interference of their parents. How the situation is finally resolved is something you must see. Jack Oakie, too has his moments with sundry love-sick maidens, resulting in laughs galore. Studded with musical hits that have what 1t takes to make the hit parade and their interpretation by Harry Owens and his Royal Hawai- ians, will have you yearning for a grass skirt. Assisting in the hilar- ious doings are such stalwarts as Thomas Mitchell, George Barbier Billy Gilbert and Hilo Hattie.
 For an added entertainment treat the Strand presents "On the Sunny Side" the second big feature, star ring Roddy McDowall the boy wht stole your heart in How Green wa

 Over Ceiling

WASHINGTON, Aug. A. Price Administrator Leon Henderson de- clared taday that fish hackers buy ing halibut and salmon at high prices In anticipation of a 15 percent increase in price ceilings for the processed fish are fin for a rude disappointment"
 Denying that the OPA ever planned to boost the ceilings, Hen derson-said -that-the practice prev alent among processors to pay more for fresh fish than the ceil- ings on the processed product war rant is dangerous" and that a failure to cease such activities will result in only one result-heavy losses to bidders.
 The normal price on halibut runs around 10 to II cents pound and the present price is double that, the OPA said.
 This increase occurred, officials of the OPA said. despite the fact that the total pack this year will be 50,00O .000 pounds to which the United States and Canada are limited under an international agreement.
 Despite the submarine menace and the possibility that less boats are available, just as much halibut is coming in as in prvious years, :" the OPA said, and added that salmon prices also are about double those of normal year.
 The OPA said that the blame in the majority of cases rests on the processors.
