van Is the most varied vaudeville
program the average customer ever
saw. And, for all the fact that it
was one OF the most feverishly
rushed jobs of its kind in writing
production and playing, its spirit
was right. So was that of the audi
ence, making it kind of comradely
joining of hands in deeply shared
cause. If there was room to quibble
over flaws, and there was, there
was no mood to do so. Not even
excessively overtime. almost three
hours and a half by the clock.
The spirit of the Hollywood Cara
van which probably could play to
825 900 houses for a couple of weeks,
Is blithe 1t has its dramatic mo-
ments, but there are many more
of levity. It also has its surprises,
which turn out to be pleasant.
Most surprising of its surprises was
the appearance of Charles Boyer,
the screens greatest lover. in the
role Of a bald. frock-coated French
schoolmaster in Alphonse Daudet's
The Classroom" a play set In
1871. It gave M. Boyer or Mr..
Boyer now that he Is an American
citizen, q chance to demonstrate
that he is an actor in more ways
than the Hollywood one, or ONE.
/ Another surprise, equally pleasant,
was Jimmy Cagney's impersonation
of George M. Cohan. Cagney, the
truculent, as Cohan the gentle,
sprightly Cohan was hardly to be
expected, but it turned out wonder
fully we'll as a second-act climax.
Otherwise, not always with per-
feet timing. but in excellent spirit,
the show went as follows:

the next move in this direction
would be made. Arrangements are
under way, however, for establish
ment Of a Nationwide organization
to administer both the price-fixing
and rationing programs.
The price fixing plan follows the
pattern that has been under discus
sion for several days.
The ceiling for both wholesale
and retail prices will be the maxi
mum charge the vendors made for
the respective items In March.
This top will be effective as to
manufacturers and wholesalers on
May II, and after that date also the
prices for wholesale and industrial
services must not exceed the high
est March levels for each seller.
May IS for Retail Prices.
On May 10, retail prices+with
specified exceptions-must begin to
conform to March levels.
Starting July l, no one may
charge more for services sold at re-
tail in connection with a commod-
ity than was charged during March
These retail services have to do
with the installation, maintenance,
preservation, repair, storage and dis
tribution of commodities, and cover
such operations as automobile re-
pair shops, garages, tailors, laun-
dries, dry cleaners, shoe repair es-
tablishments and the like
Services not rendered at retail
cover, for example, repair of ma
chinery in a manufacturing plant
by an outside contractor.
Professional Fees Exempt.
Prices set by such establishments
as barber shops and beauty parlors,
which are described as services to
the person. are not affected by the
regulations, nor are the fees of doc
tors, dentists, lawyers and other
professional persons. Other exemp-
tions include services of an employe
to his employer; professional enter
tainment, common carrier and pub
lie utility service, advertising, in
cluding radio broadcasting, insur-
ance, press association and feature
service; services relating solely to
real property. There may be addi-
tions to this list, it was added.
Each wholesaler and retailer be-
comes, in effect, a Federal licensee
as of the date when the ceiling
prices apply to his business. Even
lually. all will be obliged to register
on forms provided by the Office of
Price Administration. Sellers
licenses may be suspended for a
year for violation of o. P. A. regula-
tions. Criminal and civil penalties
also may be invoked.
Mr.. Henderson estimated that
from 60 to Is per cent of all food is
covered by the ceiling prices, and
the establishment at March levels
consequently will mean a reduction
of approximately 3 per cent-repre-
senting the April rise. General liv-
ing costs, however, still will be about
13 per cent over those of August
1899, before the war started.
Covers Meat, Clothing.
Among the items controlled are
bread, cake and bakery products;
beef. pork and their products; sugar,
fluid milk and cream sold at retail; ;
Ice cream, canned meats. soups,
canned fruits and vegetables;
canned seafood, cereals, lard, coffee.
tea, cocoa. salt and spices Covered
also are clothing, shoes, dry goods,
soap, fuel cigars. e4sarsttss, 10

bacco and pipes, toiletries, drugs,
sundries. furniture, hardware, agri-
cultural supplies.
Certain commodities, including
food, apparel and yard goods, house.
hold furnishings and other items
which are most significant in the
budgets Of low and middle income
groups, are listed as "cost-of Living
items" and in Offering these for
sale. retailers must display maxi
mum prices, plainly marked, so they
will be visible to all purchasers.
All of the existing 0. P. A. sched-
ules and regulations issued over the
past year remain In effect, and COM
modities covered by temporary CO.
day regulations automatically will
come within the provision of the
general ceiling upon their expira-
ton unless treated by special sepa-
rate orders. These orders will i'm
pose maximums over a broad range
OF products requiring special treat
ment, and in some cases, prices will
revert to the level of last October.
The first of these separate sched-
ules was issued concurrently with
the PRONUNCIATION of the general
regulations, and covered Is items,
including bituminous coal, news
print, gasoline and farm equipment.
In the II Eastern States and the
District, filling stations will be al
lowed to charge the highest March
prices, plus four -tenths of cent a
gallon on gasoline and two -tenths
OF a cent on diesel fuel. Elsewhere
the high at March price is the top.
Three Categories Uncovered.
There are three categories of COM
modities not covered by the regula-
tions. First is the group specifically
excluded by the act, such as adver-
tising, newspapers. books, maga-
zines and agricultural products
which by special legislation cannot
be regulated until they attain ITO
per cent of parity Next are those
for which there is no organized
market-highly seasonal fresh vege-
tables, fresh fish and game, objects
OF art and collectors items for ex-
ample. Lastly are primary raw ma
terials-such as timber and mineral
oreS-prices for which already are
controlled by prices in effect at GER
tain levels. Mr.. Henderson said that
many of these articles will be
covered by supplementary orders,
mentioning specifically, certain agri-
,oI,
action Is consistent with present or
future legislation. President Roose-
velt has advocated a 100 per cent of
parity for farm products-the 1909
IA price when agriculture was ex-
periencing one of it's most profitable
| periods.
Particular exemptions include also
eggs and poultry, milk products
butter, cheese and evaporated milk
but not fluid milk and cream sold
at retail and ice cream; fiour-ex-
! cept packaged mixes-mutton and
lamb, seafood, dried prunes, beans,
nuts, living animals, either wild or
domestic, domestic ores and con-
centrateS, used automobiles, secur-
tiles
Sales of food and drink by estab-
lishments vending these for con-
sumption on the premises also are
| exempted.
Prices May Vary.
In this general connection, Mr..
Henderson pointed out that in some
instances prices will vary as between
stores because their charges were
on different levels in March.
There are formulas prescribed for
cases where sellers must AZ prices

RAF MAKES HEAvYRAID
 OVER KEEL
German Baltic Sea U-Boat Base Hit Hard by
 100 Bombers

LONDON, Oct. 14-A Royal Air Force bomber fleet well over 100 planes. struck at Kiel during the night
 The raid concentrated on blast explosives. It was possibly as de- structive as any of the TO made against the Nazi's battered Baltic naval U-boat base, British sources said.
 The results well compensated for the RAF loss of nine planes, mili- tary headquarters said. The cost was apparently considerably below 5 per cent, although the numbers of the raiding force were not disclosed.
 The Evening News says: Several hundred bombers, including a large number of four-engine heavies made the round trip of over 300 miles, ' in an attack on the new "saturation' technique.
 This means throwing so many bombers over the objective in a short space of time that anti-aircraft defenses are swamped and their fire made relatively ineffective.
