his own bill and followed them out.
He crossed the street and followed
a half block until they entered an

For a moment he was undecided
as to what to do neXt-or even

the light in the room. He smoked
his last cigaret and tossed away

the light went out. Neil looked at
his watch. 1t was almost midnight.
Neil walked swiftly to the corner
and hailed a cab. He got IN and told
the driver to park at the end Of the

division of human beings, to the accompaniment of all the hi-jinks which traditionally accompany con- ventions. Mankind is emerging into an era of pleasure after pe- riod of hard work and Antrobus takes his own advice to his cohorts to have fun by playing around with the winner of a. beauty queen con- test. God sends The Flood, how ever, and the Antrobuses just man. age to get away, along with repre- sentative animals, in the only boat before things are wiped out.
 Bankhead As Temptress
 The third act curtain rises on the devastated Antrobuses home at the end of a seven-year war. This time Antrobus believes he has lost the desire to start over again and aim for something better than before. but in the end he finds that he and his kind always retain the spark to start anew.
 It is, as you see, strictly cock eyed in a sense, but 1t makes for something approaching a better understanding of humans - gives you warmer feeling about them while at the same time entertain ing you with all the tricks in the book. The characters, of course, are universal - Adam and Eve, if you will, and then offspring. The An- trobus sons real name is Cain and he is always popping people on the head with rocks. In the final act he emerges as the eternal evil in man, the repulsive individual who can't understand why people don't like him. the anti-social have-not who would bend the world to his will - in short, Hitler or any aggressor through the ages.
 Miss Bankhead has the role of Sabina, comedy maid in the Antro- bus household and the eternal temptress. In the second act she turns up as the beauty contest win- ner; in the last act she returns to her household duties after seven years as wartime camp follower. March, giving his best performance in the theater, is stand-out as Antrobus and Miss Eldridge CMrs. March) does an excellent job in the role of Mrs. Antrobus. The children are engagingly played by Mont gomery Cliff and Frances Hef1in. Miss Reed has a short but effective part in the second act as fortune teller.
 Michael Myerberg, a newcomer, is the producer and the remark ably effective direction was by Eiia KaZan.

''White Cargo" Drama of Tropics, Retains Mysti-
 Cism From Stage Play

Hedy Lemarr and Walter Pidgeon in White Cargo''-that's the dy- mamie combination M-G-M brings motlon picture audiences with its filming of the theater's favorite drama of the tropics. The picture is currently showing at the local Loew Poli Theater.
 White Cargo" Leon Gordon's famous stage play retains all its TO- manticism. mysticism, hardship and excitement in the screen adaptation, plus such stellar names as Frank Morgan, Richard Carlson and Bramwe1l Fletcher.
 Noted for the "Tarzan" jungle epics, Richard Thorpe is right at home in directing the melodrama. Thorpe will also be remembered for h. masterful direction of Might Must Fall"
 But the most exciting news is Miss Lamar as the jungle siren. It is a role made-to-order for the screens No. glamour girl A per- enn!al favorite of theater-goers, White Cargo" tells the story es' the white mans burden in the tropics. As Tondelayo, Miss Lamar plays the native girl, whose charms are at first spurned by newcomer to an isolated jungle post. Her ef- forts to add him to heroromanitc conquests develops into dramatic conflict between white man and na- tive.
 And, Pidgeon, in the virile role of WitDel, has the task of seeing that the whi.e man triumps. He is the one man in the tropics who can withstand both the heat and the monotony of the jungle and the wiles of the seductive Tondelayo. It is one of the strongest, brutal yet humaS. characters ever depicted on the ,4 cen.
 The two roles are decided de- partures for both Miss Lamar and Pidgeon. The actress recently played the charming French gentlewoman, wife of William Powell in Gross roads" and Pidgeon, the equally charming Englishman, opposite Greer Carson in Mrs. Miniver."
 Frank Morgan chalks up another colorful role to his career by win- ming the part of the doctor-never sober, never quite drunk, victim of his surroundings, yet clinging to the remnants of his gentlemanly heritage. It is fitting successor to the stars Pirate" in Steinback's s "Tortilla Flat" which he recently completed.
 On the same program is another smash hit, Submarine Raider" with John Howard, Margueriate Chapman and Bruce Bennett.
 Next Wednesday and Thursday, Loew's Poli will present in person on its stage, smiling Jimmie Lunce- ford and his Orchestra with a sur rounding all-star bill and in addi- ton a big screen program.

Loop is never over and tables and counter space are at a premium.
 One cafeteria daily serves 10000 meals and most of the time there are people waiting in line to be seated. Sometimes the line extends for quarter of block or more on either side of the eatery's entrance doors.
 Thousands of people are stream ing into the city everyday. To get hotel room requires more than a government priority in most cases. The Army is using two of the city's largest hotels-the Ste vens and the Congress-for the duration. Chicago. where in ordi- nary times 100000 visitors could easily be taken care of, now has great difficulty in finding space for today's guests.
 Lines Seek Rooms
 Day and night you will see a line of men and women waiting to register at any downtown hotels desk. And unless reservations are made two or three weeks in ad- vance, they're usually out of luck.
 Bellhops make $80 a week with out trouble or overwork. Never before has there been such a record of bank deposits at Chicago's banks. Newspapers carry from six to 10 pages of wanted advertise ments. And Chicago's record of war bond sales and war produc- tion ranks among the nation S highest.
 Men in uniform seem to pre- dominate the crowds. The famous Navy Pier is home to thousands of sailors. The nearby Great Lakes Naval Training Station is the larg- est of its kind in the world. Near by army camps and schools con- tribute thousands of men to the overflow throng of those seen along the nations new main stem" One service certer-where every thing is free, including the food is host to 100000 men in uniform every week.
 A New Chapter
 You've heard of conditions in wartime Washington where Con- oressmen have been compelled to sleep in their offices. Well, in Chi caeo they probably couldn't find offices.
 The Loop, a city within a city, has known much history and many people. It was known Abraham Lincoln who made his headouarters here during his presidential cam paign. It has known Alphonse Capone and Ben Hecht.
 It has known squalor and splen{ dor but never before has it known like wartime, 1942.

Army dim-out regulations have dulled the luster of New York's gay white way. The neon and flashing lights of Times Square have Eeen darkened for the duration. Picca- dilly Circus where Londoners once congregated in peacetime splendor - is completely blacked cut. But Chicago-well, the Windy City is today's gayest bright spot in this whole war-torn world.
 Each night an estimated throng of 100000 men and women stroll up and down famed State street, criss-cross blazing Randolph, and windows shop the length of the col orful thoroughfares of the entire Loop district. And each night this pleasure army spends an esti- mated $1,000,000 on fun and food and liquor and taxes and the other present-day forms of draining the surplus from their flush pocket books.
 Theaters Always Crowded
 Loop theaters are jammed from noon opening to past midnight closing - jammed to the upper most balconies. Legitimate play houses-and the-e are seven run ning-nightly hang out standing room-only signs" Night spots re- port banner crowds and unprece- dented spending. Downtown stores remain open nights to accommo- date customers. Eating time in the
