to an octopus, sent by whimsical

as such, Warmers hired Monty

Script Writers Charles Bracket
and Billy Wilder, old hands at re-
porting on the comic aspects of ro-
nance and the romantic aspects OF
comedy. have contrived for Mr..
Goldwyn q bright and inventive
screen play which rollicks along with
a minimum Of lackadaisical mo-
ments. Howard Hawks, another old
hand at directing such affairs. has
guided this Aim with a fine knack
for timing a laugh. And Mr.. Gold
wyn has placed the playing in the
hands of a cast headed by Barbara
Stanwyck and Gary Cooper and in
cluding such expert performers as
Oscar Homolka, Richard Haydn, Al
len Jenkins, S. z. Sakau, Tully
Marshall and a host Of others.
Ball of Fire" employs for its
humor some sure-fire Institutions of
tho American theater. One Is ex-
treme erudition, the average Amer
lean regarding what he calls four
bit words and the absent. minded
professor who uses them with an ad-
mixture Of awe and amusement.
Another Is q companion piece. the
humor which springs from the
CONSERVATION which develops dur
ing an attempt at communication
between two dialects Of the same
language, such as English and
United States.
The erudite professor has been
multiplied by eight in Ball OF
Fire" and the matter Of communi-
cation has become a special problem
because Mr.. Cooper talks in those
four-bit words while Miss Stanwyck
employs the more colorful patois OF
those hep to the current jive. You
may rest assured, however, If you
were worried about It, that they do
ind q common language before the
affair Is over.
Perhaps it might be wen to explain
the presence Of . dancer in the
midst of this encyclopaedia compila-
tion before you suspect all those you
meet who happen to be compiling
encyclopedias. It's really quite
simple. The boys have worked down
to the letter S and Mr.. Cooper is
faced with doing a chapter on slang.
So he gathers up some experts, in

merely sit there watching him.
Moreover, it is all accomplished at
such a th-taking pace 1t Is not
until later that you realize 1t Is
something of a third carbon Of
BABES in Arms" of a season or so
ago. That makes Mickey something
of a magician, too, a thing that
Metro Goldwyn Mayer obviously
counted upon.
AS beilts the No. box office star
Of 1941, Mickey has been given a
chance to see how far he can carry
q big musical production in Babes

vious wretches will conclude that
he carries it too far, but even they
will have to give the lad his due,
however reluctantly.

though she is a nice girl to be sure.
her boy friend is on the lam from

hide out until the heat Is of.
That's about all you need to know
about the plot. But it should be
added that 1t il played with that
zest Of actors relishing their work,
which always comes right through
the camera with happy effect. Mr..
Cooper Is nothing short of excellent
as the professor, who may be corny
but manages to learn about love and
yum-yum and boogie-woogie. Miss
Stanwyck is so thoroughly agreeable
as the dancer that it is no task at
all to be jealous of Robert Taylor.

have lept from their pedestals by
getting her face dirty and her har
mussed while rolling on the floor IN
the coffee she has spilled, Miss Col
. bert retains her composure ad-
mirably. It is admirable because
this heavy-footed recitation OF the
trials of a woman married to man
In love with the advertising business,
which has emerged from Samson
Raphaelson's play, Is something
which might more flttingly be the
concern of (a) her psychiatrist, or
q (b) her attorney, than OF tc) the
movie e-makers, or Cd the MOVIE
goers.
Those who consider Miss Colbert
q very tasty dish needing no sprigs
Of parsley to appear more appe-
tizing may feel, of course, that the
events reported in "Skylark" are not
without logic and are even inter-
esting. There will be others, we are
sure. who will agree that Miss Colbert
appears something of dope when
she runs of with a frivolous Brian
Aherne Just because he has prom
ised her q handful Of moonlight,
and that Mr.. Ray Milland seems
even more Of q dope pursuing her so
Ielentlessly.
Several comic moments have been
arranged which do brighten the
outlook on occasion, but it is the
playing Of the principals, plus that
Of Binnie Barnes and Walter Abel
which is responsible. Too often the
frivolity seems bent upon dancing,
but restrained from it by the dis
covery that its feet are mired in the
wet concrete of a two-solid farce
about some people who ought to
know better or not bother other
people with their petty troubles.

wisely by casting the picture with
such people as Bette Davis. Monty

be put aside in reporting this out
standing and historical achievement
of the A. v. G.. in Burma during
the last seven weeks. 1t is an
achievement which certainly has
very rarely been equaled anywhere
since the war began and possibly
not equaled by the same number
of airnen operating with ground
crews which are very far below
the regulation size used by the
United States Air Force.
Nevertheless, despite the Nazis'
fair for making exorbitant claims
for their pilots. even the Germans
have never claimed that their
squadrons have eliminated enemy
air personnel at anything remotely
approaching a ratio Of six pilots
lost against 400 or more in enemy
flying personnel.
Fortune kindly gave the A. ". Gs
an opportunity to turn the air wars
tide over Burma, but to these young
Americans belongs credit for having
risen magnificently to an oppor-
tunity in which the odds seemed
seriously against them. Here in
Burma the American pilots have
earned the right to be classified
alongside Britain's best. No higher
distinction exists in this wars far
flung war of the air.

the Secretary of the Navy full
filled their obligations by con-
ferring frequently with the
Secretary of State and with each
other and by keeping the chief
of staff and the chief of naval
operations informed of the course
of the negotiations with Japan
and the significant implications
thereof.
4. The chief of staff and the
chief of naval operations fulfilled
their obligations by consulting
and cooperating with each
other, and with their superiors,
respecting the joint defense of
the Hawaiian coastal frontier
and each knew of and concurred
in the warnings and orders sent
by the other to the responsible
commanders with respect to such
defense. =
S. The chief of staff of the
Army fulfilled his command re-
sponsibility by issuing a direct
order in connection with his
warning of probable hostilities,
in the following words: Prior to
hostile Japanese action you are
directed to undertake such re-
connaissance and other measures
as you deem necessary"
6. The chief of naval opera
tions fulfilled his command re-
sponsibility by issuing a warning
and by giving direct order to
the commander in chief, Pacific
Fleet, in the following words:
This despatch is to be consid-
cred war warning; and, Exc
cute an appropriate defensive de-
ployment preparatory to carry
ing out the tasks assigned"
!. The responsible command
ers In the Hawaiian Area, in full
f1llment of their obligation so to
do, prepared plans which, if
adapted to and used for the ex-
listing emergency, would have
been adequate
8. In the circumstances the
responsibility of these COM
manders was to confer upon the
question of putting into effect
and adapting their joint defense
plans.
8. These commanders failed to
confer with respects to the warn
ings and orders issued on and
after November q, and to adapt
and use existing plans to meet
the emergency.
10. The order for alert No.
OF the Army command in Hawaii
was not adequate to meet the
emergency envisaged in the
warning messages.
IL. The state of readiness of
the naval forces on the morning
of December was not as was
required to meet the emergency
