MOONBEAM SKID
Later at RKO watching a ship
board scene for "Once Upon
Honeymoon, l was reminded strik-
ingly that Krasna isn't alone in
his feeling that movie deviltry
isn't often lifelike.
Leo McCarey, producing and di-
recting, had Walter Slezak and
Ginger Rogers on the boat deck OF
liner at night. Selzak was a
charming scoundrel, but after Gin
ger married" him she had found
that instead of being diplomatic
emiSsary of peaceful readjustment,
he was a German agent. So when
he sailed to contaminate America,
his wife declared that she'd fight
him and expose him.
Standing there by the low chain
rail, she made long, bitter speech
that was far more exciting than
the physical climax, which prob
ably would have looked little
phony, anyway. Maybe Selzak tried
to push her overheard and she
lodged, and he fell. Or perhaps,
as everyone would approve, ex-
cept the censors OF the code-bound
HAYS Office.
But McCarey is smart enough
not to Try 20 show this part. The
sequence dissolves, and youll see

Grant in a lower salon that the

British. Nazi Tanks Meet

CAIRO. Sept 2. CUP)-British and
German tanks are locked in fierce
battle on a widening front which
now extends 20 miles from that Him
eimat peak OF ule southern end of
the Alamein line to the RuWeisat
Ridge at the north-central stretch,
acommunique revealed today.
British Imperial forces took the

resulted in the capture of numerous

Where the fighting had started at
the Himeimat Peak, dominating the
southern end of the front eight
miles from the Qattara salt bog de-
preston, lie lighting nad now
spread. the communique made
known, all the way up to the Re
Weisat Ridge, bloodily contested
again and again, which runs from
east to west below the coastal road.
POWERFUL ARTILLERY
Gen. Alexander threw powerful
artillery forces, which undoubtedly
had been strengthened In recent
weeks, into the battle line to support
his tanks.
It seemed clear that Rommel was
trying to roll up the British left
flank, at the southern end of the
line, SO he could strike northward
to hit the main Ell Alamein- Alex
andria highway and follow it west
ward to Alexandria and the great
est triumph of his spectacular car
eer.
Today's communique. describing
the second day of the battle. said:

sector made a successful raid and

During dusk on the night of
Aug. 81 bombers of the Royal air

and the United States army air
force, assisted by naval aircraft,
successfully attacked targets in the
battle area and landing grounds
between Matruh and Ell Daba.
Despite rising sand large scale
air operations were carried out over
the battle area yesterday.
Our bombing was Intensive and
accurate. AT least two large Stuka

Hollywood
Euncies
By Paul Harrison

HOLLYWOOD, Sept. 2 = Nor
man Krasna is a movie-maker who
doesn't put much stock in screen
Villainy. This is no reflection on
the heavies of Hollywood, whom
the successful Mr.. Krasna regards
as very fine actors. II they were
not fine actors, lending credbility
to the most artificial roles, the
public would be intolerant of run
of-the-mill pictures and of the re-
strictionS of censorship.
Sinister screen characters" he
said "are likely to be phony. This
isn't because they're so wicked,
but because they aren't wicked
enough. MovieS-or American mo-
VieS, at least-don't dare be SO
realistic as to portray human vii
lainy as it really is"
When you pause to think about
them, the roles of cinema scoun-
drelS are the most obvious of all
film frauds. TlIc deepest-dyed evil
doer never says anything stronger
that "Doggonit!"
He maintains an aStonishingly
aloof attitude toward captive hero
ines, and he never seizes logical
r opportunities for Sitting throats
OF leading men. Most of his mur-
derouS behaVio" is confined to
threatening motions just as the
police begin chopping down doors.

Only three planes were lost in
the raid. which broke a three-day
lull in the Allied air offensive

Waves of RAF fighters, including
a squadron of Spitfires piloted by
Americans, followed up the Saar-
bruesken bombing with sweeps over

force of Spitfires cut through low

the Straits of Dover at only 20t
feet above the waves.
The Spitfires raced toward dep
pc where heavy antiaircraft fire
was heard before the fighters re-
turned, again at low level, as min
utes later.
CA report by the German Ag-
cency DNB, recorded by the United
Press in London, said a small
number of British bombers dropped
high explosive and incendiary
bombs at several places in western
Germany last night. Three British
planes repeatedly were shot down.
The first wave of planes lighted
up the city with incendiary bombs
SO that the formations following
had no difficulty finding targets.
OVER EASTBOURNE
At dawn a force of Raj fighter
planes, including an American
squadron, passed over EastbouTne
on the southeast English coast
headed for France.
Residents on the southeast coast
were kept awake most of the night
after the first squadron of bomberS
roared out across the channel
about am. A steady procession of
planes continued for more than
an hour. After a short hull, the
first planes began to return. The
roar of engines filled the night un-
till am.
While a majority of the bombers
raced to objlrtives in Germany,
some apparently blasted targets in
France because explosions were
heard on the English side of the
channel.
Shortly before the fighter Squa-
