"My Sister Eileen" goes hi
lariously on her way at the La
fayette where Ruth McKenney'S
humorous memoirs in play form
are in their second week.
This Frank Mccoy production
has an excellent cast with Ethel
Britton as the dry-humored Ruth
and biithe spirited Mary Elliott
as the ingenious Eileen.
Russell Hardie, Dean Norton
and John Grogan are all splendid
in the male leads of this very
funny farce. It's likely to be
here for a while, but don't post
pone your fun. You will prob
ably want to see it a second

They Follow Through

However, to act like a lady
during brief scenes before the
camera is. perhaps, a talent
easily acquired. but what amazes
us is the charming grace with
which these screen youngsters
follow through at cafe or dur
ing a long evening at an ultra
swank FINLAND dinner party.
A few months ago, she was

Celebrated Dinner

The occasion was one Of Tai
and Harry Lachman's celebrated
dinner parties. AS usual the
guests were colorful cosmo-
politics whom Tai and Harry
had hobnobbed with during their
many sojourns in Europe.
And it was our good fortune
TO have the fascinating Edith
Traggardh as our dinner partner.
1t is n fact that, during our
many years in Hollywood. we
have never ceased to marvel
over the way feminine film
finds" of teen age become Gull
tured ladies over night.
To be sure, it is no longer
news to observe that the
winsome Hollywood car-hop or
manicurist of today may be the
screen star of tomorrow.

Film Stars in Cast

All this musical fun takes
place in a sort of Sailor Be-
ware" atmosphere with very
pleasant Pan-American rela-
tions.
OF the original cast you will
find erstwhile movie actor James
Dunn and the English dead-pan
comedian Arthur Preacher.
mr.. Preacher, you know, quit
movies a while back because he
was tired of always playing but
lers. 1t got so he automatically
went to the studio with a silver
tray and his card on it, even be-
fore he knew the script.

OIL DELIVERIES
 ARE PROMISED

washington, Dec. i7--(Up)- Price Administrator Leon Henderson and Defense Transportation Director Joe seph B. Eastman today promised sufflciently frequent retail deliveries of fuel oil this winter to provide customers with "their share of the limited supply"
 In c joint statement, Henderson and Eastman explained the steps taken by them to assure equitable distribution of fuel o'l and asked for cooperation by consumers and suppliers.
 An overlap in the validity dates of fuel, oil ration coupons is de- signed to prevent c flood of orders at the end of Q heating period, the statement said. For example, "i" coupons are valid for purchases during part of the second period. A consumer with part of his H" ration unused at tho end of that period may use these coupons, to- gether with "2' coupons, in getting delivery on Q larger amount Of fuel oil during the first weeks of the second period,
 Home owners were advised to give suppliers at least two days advance notice on orders, Orders should not be placed until the household. CTS storage tank is low enough to permit . delivery equal to ct least 7b per cent of the tanks capacity,

CAREFUL WINTER
 DRIVING URGED!
Tires, Sand, Light Cited as Good Reasons for Cau.
 tlOus Operation

Less tire tread, less sand on sllp- pery road surfaces, less light three good reasons for driving mora carefully this winter than you ever drove before, according to Motor Vehicles Commissioner John T, Mccarthy,
 If anyone needs proof, f6 is re. ferred to the records of the Motor vehicles Department which show smooth tires, slippery road sur- faces, aIid poor lighting as among the most common factors in auto. mobile accidents.
 ember, the commissioner warned, even if your tires are lr excellent condition or if you have chains on, cars travelling close te yours may be moving on shallow tire tread which increases the pos. slbility of Q skiddipg acicdent.
 Because of labor shortage, and the difficulty of procuring new equipment, the amount Of sand or state and local roads will be very much less than last year.
 Light from car headlights, street lights, and other sources has beer dimmed or eliminated by army regulation. This spells grave dan- ger, especially for the pedestrian.

Here in New York, representatives of the Italian underground are helping to direct and finance the movement in seething, disheartened Italy. Keeping contact with q secret organization In an enemy country is difficult and dangerous job, but agents somehow manage to move back and fourth. Money goes in; reports come out.
 Naturally the rebel leaders In Italy can do no broadcasting, so the un- deground depends on British and American radio for transmission of instructions to the millions who hate Fascism and Naziism.
 But contrary to some impulsive pleas which have been made, open revolt is not counseled for Italians. The U. s. Office of War Information concurs in the policy of asking only civil disobedience--now.
 HIDE FOOD"
 PEASANTS ARE TOLD
 Active revolution at this time IS impossible" said Vanni Montana, q leader of the underground and a frequent radio speaker. There are maybe 30o,000 German troops in Italy: also about e0,000 destapo and administrative agents.
 without the Germans, the Fas' cist state would not live one hour Even the Italian army and It's Of. ficers, we hear, are mostly ant- Fascist.
 "But the people cannot fight the Germans. So we tell them on the radio: Go slow. Be late. Make mis- takes at work. Don't pay your tax es.' And to the peasants we say 1; Hide your food from the Germans
 "Those are things that the people can do well and willingly"
 A Journalist, labor union ofhcial, and an enemy Of Fascism since It's inception, Montana drew complex picture of the underground move ment in Italy. From c sfnuggled re. port typewritten on very thin paper he read the name sof eight active examinations, some Of which were political foes of each other as well ns of Fascisin before the war. Now they are loosely united for opposition to derman and Italian totalitarian- ism. "The leaders are new people yo,ng ones conditioned by persecu. ton and knowing how to fool the destapo," he said. Last April a great anti war agitation was launched In one place, and police arrested many old Socialists. But not one of them had anything to do With the underground or tho propaganda campaign"

 A letter of thanks was received from Rev. James A. Frederick ot st. Francis Xavier church for the splendid work firemen did in exs tlngulshing a fire at the church last week. Father Broderick's gift check of $50 was turned over 70 the fire pension fund.
 Private James J. Hayes applied for retirement on pension, claiming physical disability, and presenting A letter from pr. James Corey. Pri- vate Hayes said that he was injured at a fire at the Moriarty block on East Main street several years ago. He has been on the force tor z5 years. The board authorized the mayor to appoint a medical exam ming committee to examine tue man to determine whether he IS entitled to a pension on his clam.
 An extension of leave of absence was granted Private Jeremiah BreS- nahan, who has been way from the department for more than a year.

the FasciSt newspaper dazetta Del Popolo as recently complaining that fewer Fascists are wearing tho party button.
 "That shows the peoples feeling" said Montant. Party members are ashamed and afraid. Especially de- spised are the Fascist militia, whose Job is police work and manning the anti.aircraft guns. But 1t is said that they are not needed as police with SO many 0estapo around, and they are usoh poor gunners that trey almost never hit tho Allied bomber"
 The air raids over northern Italy are triply effective, according to re- ports received by an official of the Maz2ini Society, on Ameftcan-Ital. ian anti-Fascist organization, "Re- sides the destruction" he explained, "the confusion covers up sabotage and civil disobedience among the workers"
 Rldlcule as well as grim anger Is an anti.Fascist weapon, according to Montana. At public meetings ad. dressed by the dictator, 1t used to be the custom for Q hypnotlEed and worshipful populaee to chant "Duce,' thus: "Doo .chapl-Doo- chayl-Doo. .chayw They still make pretense Of this homage, but large numbers now chant, inStead' "pa- chayl-Pa.chay!" Pace" means peace"

 A Slcilian himself, Vanni Mon- tana spoke with extra bitteresss about the Fascist-NaEi nomination 0 his native land. In Italy proper, German troops have been behaving pretty we'll he said. But NaM Gr' tachments In the interior Of Sicily have treated peasants brutally and have molested some of the women,
 And that Is Q mistake" he said All Hltler's guns cannot scare a sicilian from protecting his woman The blood.est revolution in All hiS' tory happened th,re in i2e2, when Sicily was under French rule. A soldier put his hands on a girl and her fianee cut his head off, and then the natives killed eVsfy French per- son on the Island. All but one, any. way, who had been kind to ths peo- pie.
