If you want to see the greatest musical to come out of Hollywood in years, then don't miss 'You Were Never Lovelier", currently at War ner's State theater and co-starring Fred Astaire and Rita Hoyworth.
 Miss Hayworth, Astaire and Jerome Kern combine their brilliant talents to bring Waterburians a fascinating and delightful picture that is acclaimed the greatest pie ture of their lives.
 "You Were Never Lovelier" strict ly speaking, refers only to Miss Hayworth's eurvesome charms; the titular statement virtually is an un- reinstatement, On the other hand, Miss Hayworth offers more than mere beauty to the film; she matches AstaireS most difficult dance rouaneS with graceful. de- lightful ease: she proves herself an equally valuable romantic and com edic partner. Kern's music, easily his finest since Show Boat" looms large in the new tunefilm and includes Q number of adio-famous hits.

War Worker.
 These random thoughts of mine are directed to you women, like myself, who have no special, clear " defined place in the war effort. Yours is probably the most difncult position of all. You want to help to the utmost of your capacity, but you have to find your own way without the benefit of guidance from superior officers or foremen.
 Each one has to be an army in herself-a General to do the plan ming, and the Soldier that success fully carries ou the order. Being the general will take every ounce of imagination you have. Being the solder, will test your courage to the limit.
 There Is no time to pause and look wistfully at pictures in the paper of women in uniform, and the trim and alert young women in slacks, running their machines in war factories. For you, the mil- lions who answer the census taker, Occupation, housewife" you have your own job to do: children to rear, households to keep going, plus your ne wjob, your war job - per- haps tho most important war job of them all. You are the ones who keep the whole show going, you, with your nickels and dimes, gath cred together with such ingenuity, with your stamps that you build in- to bonds. Everyone of those gallant Americans, boys and girls in uni form, is directly dependent upon you. If you fail in the planning and executing of your battle, they must necessarily fail in theirs. It's

 All around the lot: The Harlem buildings lean crazily, as off-bal- ance as your wife's checkhook, A bright green fire escape runs up the facade by yellow-lit windows and towering window pots in daubs of bright color. Five stories high, the building climbs, and in each window shines @ cream or choeo- late face and a pair of tlme-beat- ing hands.

 BETTE SEES GHOSTS
 On another Warner stage we find Bette Davis seeing ghosts on a staircase. Nobody else can see ti:',m, but you can conjure up a few dra- matic scenes when you stop to think what an important part those steps have played in Eette's car- ger. Now workmen are about to dis mantle the staircase, awter all these years. Eotte decen6ed the staircase for one of the most poignant scenes in "Jezebel," and flounced up the san,c steps as Queen Elizabeth. In Dark Victory" she made her first appearance at the head of the steps. In Nov, Voyager" she had her tenderest emotional scene, landing against the railing with Paul Hem reid, and in Watch on the Rhine" she climbed slowly up the stairs, ug0ClUR DdCS bcIAOt do iict aAuSNotAd left her to commit murder.

 ANCHORS AWAY
 Over at RKO, a scene for ''I Walked With a Zombie" shows the arrival of sailing schooner at small West Indies Island. They've brought the boat right onto the stage and fioated it in a six foot deep tank of water. Frances Dee and Tom Conway are standing in the bow as a sailor releases tE'e anchor chain and the anchor falls into the water with a great splash.
 But the instant the anchor hits the water. Director Jack Tourneur says Cut" and veryone on the set laughs. The anchor is floating light ly on top of the water.

Like Lana Turner and many other successful movie stars, Susan went to Hollywood High. However, she did not wilfully set out to be Q movie actress. In fact, when she was offered a screen test, she shied away from it at first, because she had set her heart on becoming Q doctor.
 Set Her Own Deadline
 But the "break" so many girls longed for seemed too providential to turn down, and besides she had a mother and brother to support. So she took the test, but she also made a vow to herself that if, within three years she did not make good in pictures, she would try some other way of earning . living.
 Actually, she was christened Suzanne Carnahan; it was thought too long for screen purposes. She was born in Seattle, Washington, | -l |

tain Mercer, without a reasonable
explanation; she could not be in
terested in or in love with some
one without betraying it.
libby took what comfort she
could out of this, but she resolved
just the same, to let out some kind
of hint that it might be just as
well for Marg to try to get a
change in her flying schedule.
Maybe Marg would not like it. She
had lost her temper that ii m e
when Steena had done pretty much
the same thing, only Steena had
lost hers, too. libby would be more
tactful, since she was so very fond
of Marg and would only be trying
really to help her, although maybe
Marg did not want help from any,
one.
Certainly Marg did not look as
if she needed any, when she came
home. libby had never seen her
looking better, as if the narrowing
experience she had been through
had given her new vitality, as
though her role of heroine en-
doWed her with new radiance.
Or was it something else, some
thing that went much deeper, that
gave Marg this sort of bloom,
causing her plain face to h e
come alive, even her brown hair to
hold a sheen of loveliness?
1t is said, libby remembered,
that only a woman in love and be-
loved looks like that, since love
alone can add such luster, al
though couldn't it come just from
BEING alive, when you had come
so close to death? OF course it
could; libby was allowing her
Imagination and the effect OF
Steena's words to run riot.
She said, "Oh, Marg, it's so good
to have you back! I'm so PROUD
of you, darling!" She wanted
Marg to know that she would al
ways be proud of her, always find
lit good to have her friendship.
Marg gave her bear-iike
squeeze in response. 'Tt's good to
be back" she said. "You don't
realize now good, until you come
close to not making it, although
there was not much doubt with
Captain Mercer as pilot. AS for
your being proud of me, honey,
that's the bunk. Captain Mercer is
the one who deserves all credit.
Oh, libby, he's so wonderful!
There's no one like him. No one
else could have done what he did.
Such a mani
I'm sure he isl libby said,
but her heart sank to her shoes.
There was absolutely no d o u b
about it. Marg was in love. There
was much more than admiration
in her tone, respect for an b e
pilot. 1t was all there in her face
for anyone to see-that she had
given her heart to this man whose
praises she sang. 4

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

Wayne Courtright had been righ
when he had told libby over the
phone that he would find that he1
friend, Marg Baker, had become
"quite a heroine" He had beer
right, too, when he had said she
would read about it in the morn
ling papers.
There was a picture of Marg-
and one of Captain Mercer-on the
front page. "Only, of course, il
doesn't do her justice, libby com
mented Loyalty. But just look
what it says about her, Steena
Due credit is attributed to h c
stewardess', libby read, ''f o l

Miss Baker was responsible o I
maintaining order and keeping ur
the spirits of the passengers until
the rescue planes arrived. T h s
must have been no easy task, as
by the time help came, the weight
of the ship having broken through
the ice, water stood knee d +
inside the cabin. The protruding
wings kept the big plane from &C
| ing under, but no one knew how
much longer they could take this
strain 1t must have been awful
libby stopped reading to exclaim
I don't suppose it was exactly
comfortable spot to be in,'
Steena admitted II don't envy
Marg the experience, even if she
is a heroine now. Most chivalrous
of Captain Mercer to give her sc
much glory, don't you think? Mos
men prefer to hog it all them
selves, but evidently the captain
admires Marg as much as she ad
mires him-and you know how she
raves on and on about him. I must
say" she finished, picking up the
paper, that HIS picture does him
justice. He's not bad looking at al

seemed to dismiss the type for her
Then she added, significantly, %

will have to say to all this?"
What could she say?" Tibby
spoke more sharply than she hac
meant to, but that was such ar
uncalled for remark. libby did moi
think that Marg raved ION and on
about Captain Mercer; she merely
admired his ability as a pilot, ar
admiration that appeared warrant
ed now.
Steena shrugged again. Nothing
or lots of things" she said. "She
may not be as generous as hel
husband, as anxious to give Mare
all the spotlight. From what
hear, she is the sort of person wht
likes the center of the stage all tt
herself"
Aren't you talking in riddles?'
