 The end came when Japanese shock troops storned the north shore of the island under cover of big guns and planes, and effected a landing.
 It was just 27 days after the fall of Bataan, and one day short of A years after Admiral George Dewey, following his historic victory in Manila Bay, over the Spanish fleet, sent the message home:
 T control bay completely, and can take city (Manila) at any time, but have not sufficient men to hold"
 Manila was taken then, and Mac Arthur has pledged his faith as a soldier to go back and take it again.
 No details were immediately avail able, for with the fall of Corregidor formal communication ended and the little knots of brave men, Amer iean and Pilipinos, who still fought for freedom in many parts of the islands, were completely isolated, except for such messages as they might get to Australia by their weak field radios.

ERSKINE
JOHNSON

Nick Ianios is glad to be able
to report today that the table man.
ners of movie stars are much i'm
proved. The same thing, he adds,
goes for the American public as a
whole. And he thinks the film
industry ought to get the credit.
He argues that the industry has
spent time and money teaching its
glamor girls and handsome heroes
how to eat, and that the public
has benefited through the medium
of visual education.
Being the George Rector of the
Cafe de Paris-Which by any 9TH
er name would still be the studio
commissary at Goth Century-FoX,
Nick Janios has watched the eating
methods of film stars from the un-
spoiled, child -naJt'e approach
to the punctilio of an old grad of
the Emily Pest school who knows
what and where, i.e., what to do
with an artichoke. and where his
next meal is coming from.
yORACIOUS BALENTINO
Take the late great Rudolph VEL
entino, for example.
Rudy" says our expert, who Is
willing to let bygones be bygones
with NEST things but never forgets
a faux pas with fork, Rudy was
a bit too, ah zestful, if you see
what mean He likewise speaks
sharply of certain erstwhile screen
sirens who were not above eating
like headhunters.
Mary Pickford, he thinks, did as
much to raise the standards as any
body. For one thing, it was no.
ticed that Americas sweetheart
practiced nice discrimination
concerning forks. This whetted the
curiosity of her colleagues and led
TO imitation. The studios pitched
in and began hiring technical ad-
viserS.
AS a result, Nick Janios observes
with satisfaction, even the hum
blest SlO00-a- -Weeker today knows
all the basic eating implements by
name and can use them without eS-
tentation of CONSCIOUSNESS.
For lady-like dexterity, he likes
to watch Linda Darnel or Alice
Faye. but for sheer virtucsity with
a knife and fork give him Director
Alfred Hitchcock, who despite his
weight is as light on his hips as a
dancer. Conversing at a table with
two actors, Hitchcock has been
known to parry, strike and DIS
mantle a difficult guinea hen while
cutting both hame to the quick.
GRUB ON THE SET
Among Professor Janios' extra
curricular activities is that OF pre-
pairing meals that are to be served
in pictures. For instance, he says
soup should never be served in
picture, because it's too awkward
