Sometimes the movies are pretty
slow to catch on-but once they do
they usually can be depended upon
to go along with an idea for quite a
spell.
Take, for instance, the old belief
that the female of the species IS
deadlier than the mAle-which isn't
just confined to spiders, either.
For years, hundreds of pictures
were made in which the so-called
glammer gals would never think of
engaging in physical combat. And
even when the hero and the heavy
were battling to death over her
honor, the heroine always stood
there like Z dope, biting her finger
nails.
Then the movies got smart and
began making pictures in which the
women slammed the men around.
That worked fine for awhile. Then
they changed their tactics and had
the men socking the women. That
also swelled box -ofIce receipts.
Now the studios seem to be back
In the woman-slug-man groove
again. judging from the number of
such films now in production.
For instance, in MY Favorite
Blond" Madeleine Carroll and Bob
Hope stage a fight in which they
practically wreck an entire room.
She hits him with a lamp, three
ashtrays, several statuettes, a large
cigarette box and Z complete coffee
service. 7hen she finishes him of
by 1amhasting him over the head
with . huge Oil painting.
In their current pictures. too
Dorothy Lamour and William Holden
engage in 4 general melee; Deanna
Durbin throws a cocktail in Robert
Cummings face: Paulette Goddard
bombards Albert Decker, Roland
Young and Ray Milland with about
everything she can lay her hands on
while Rosalind Russell uses her own
film wedding presents to fling at
Macdonald Carey.
Studios say they're about con-
vinced now that the girl-slue boy
pictures are better received than the
boy -sock-girl Variety realization
Of few OF the simple facts of life
which the girls say they knew all

TOO performances. Mrs. williams
calls them TOO Of "the most harrow
ing performances ever to be survived
by any theatrical troupe"
The tour following the first Lon
don engagement of the play took
the company to most Of the heavily
bombed cities in the British Isles
Birmingham, Glasgow, Cardiff,
Plymouth and the others. The per-
formance In Swansea, Wales, Mrs.
Williams reports, was interrupted
by . raid which ended with al the
doors and windows blown out Of the
theater. Often the troupe played
theaters where the galleries had
been blasted away by bombs.
The road tour Is no voluntary
thing in England any more. Mrs.
Williams advises. Every town that
has been badly blitzed has shown
the same reaction as that of Coven-
try, with much heavier attendance
at theaters and movies than In
towns less seriously hit. Entertain
ment has proved an absolute neces-
sity, especially in industrial cities
and towns. So it is now compulsory
upon any theatrical company to
take it's play on tour to all the
bombed cities. either before or after
its London run.
Actors, of course, like every one
else In England, are finding their
old way of life just something to re-
member. Transportation Is a prob
lem. what with trains running ir-
regularly and often being packed
with troops. Weekly engagements
often begin on Tuesday instead OF
the planned Monday. And there is
never a question of salary any more,
Mrs. Williams says. Actors all work
for whatever they can make, using
a pooled profit plan, and neither
star nor super" has q fixed income.
But the British theater has under
gone its most tremendous boom.
It's been some time now since
Washington has had q world pre-
miere," but don't you fret, Holly
wood has not forgotten U.S. Come
the night Of April IS. two weeks

cocks new film, "Saboteur," will

playing and celebrities from the
country over in attendance" What
Col. Bolles has to say about the
lights blazing. and where the ce-
lebrities will find rooms, are things
you probably will have to hear
more about later.
At any rate. present plans call
for the presence Of the tabled Mr.
Hitchcock himself. The premiere is
