said Linda. Those fellows really
are lonesome and any girl who
doesn't write to her boy friend in
the Army at least once 4 day Is
shirking her duty"
What they want more than any
thing else. Linda said. is to talk with
girl and to get touch of home
atmosphere. Most of the boys would
rather spend an unexciting day at
some friendly home than have any
other kind OF entertainment, she
believes.
"A thing that has been overlooked
in supplying the service men with
reading matter" Linda told us, "is
scientific magazines. They seem to
read tons of movie magazines and
light fiction periodicals. but they are
also eager to keep up with their
peacetime professions. A lot of them
told me they would welcome trade
journals. scientific magazines and
those dealing with professions"

Harder Heads

OF Future Actors
Balsa Substitute
For Pseudo Bricks
Is Problem in Comedy
BY vida World.


HOLLYWOOD.
Movie actors of tomorrow are
liable to be a lot harder headed
than those OF today.
Thats because the Government
has just frozen the Nations stock
OF balsa, a thin, feather weight
wood, from which are made the
imitation bricks and other break
aways with which actors conk each
other over the head for a laugh.
AS substitute studios turned
Immediately to yucca, a tall pithy
plant that grows on the desert in
such abundance the supply probably
will last a lifetime.
Use OF yucca, however, means
they'll have to glue a lot OF small
pieces together, and hard glue means
eventually harder heads for actors.
But it's either that or else comedy
Is going to become more polite il
not downright sissy.
And the cost of the substitute
for the substitute is going to be sky
high. Studios estimate an imita-
ton brick, now produced from balsa
wood for a dollar. will cost about
SIS when made OF yucca, due to
added labor.
That means scenario writer's are
going to get stern warnings from
producers to hold to a minimum all
scenes calling for the use of throw
ing bricks and other breakaways.
which include most supposedly
heavy objects that have to be hurled
or otherwise moved about with
ease.
Instead OF having an actor conk
another with a brick, ball bat or
chair they now probably will show
him throwing bucket of water
or doing something else equally less
harmful.
1t might even bring back the old
pie throwing scenes of yore, which
always produced some of the most
hilarious comedy OF the screen.

the picture Is one of the most anus
ing things ever conceived for the
thawing of a man who wants to
escape the practicalities and ugli-
ness of life.
1t accounts for a dozen good pas
sages in The Talk of the Town"
one OF the best of which is that in
which dig interrupts the legal pro-
fessor during his dictation of a
book to tell him that he should learn
about life before trying to be an
author. 1t is a clever, intelligent
sequence. But so are such others
as that in which the dignif1ed law

Arthur fast-talks the lawyer into

BILE for The Talk Of the Town" It
was very clever of him to have real
lied that there was so much of dra-
matte merit, Of freshness, tender
ness. humor. suspense and meaning
in the story by Sidney Buchanan
and Irwin Shaw. 1t may have been
even more clever of him to convince
the studio that it should hire three
such talented and expensive stars.
That is matter, of course, for the
bookkeeping department to decide
when it adds up what rightly should
be the large profits OF the photo
play.
Talk of the Town" gets of to a
sure-fire start when 1t presents three
arresting people in an arresting situ-
alton. The three principal charac-
ters are an idealistic laborer (Gran)
who Is being framed for murder, a
pretty girl Miss Arthur naturally
who harbors him when he escapes,
and a brilliant legal scholar who
wanders into the home with no no
tion OF what 1t is going to do to his
ambition to become Supreme Court
justice. All three are people with
active minds and the situations into
which they think themselves make
an engrossing and amusing picture
which not even overlength and a
sometimes too casual pace can mar.
Miss Arthur never was livelier nor
more charming than as the girl in
this blithe triangle. That, however,
is all she is. The picture really be-
longs to Grant and Colman. both of
whom turn in superlative perform
ances.
The degree to which Grant has
left his debonair movie past is no
better illustrated than in the fact
he plays character named Leopold
dig. This dig, q fellow who wears
black workmen's shirts, Is one of
the finest parts ever to fall Grants
way, however He Is an idealist
whose persistence in expressing his
beliefs can easily be misconstrued
as a truculent menace to his crafty

framed for 3 murder supposedly
committed when the factory burns
down. 1t is good, and equally not

it, the home town publication looks

APPRECIATION

It's high time this paper should
acknowledge the help We have re-
ceived in our self imposed job of
sending the sheet to the boys in the
service. Nearly a score of citizens
have contributed casa toward the
steadily mounting costs, while. other
help has been volunteered and &C
cepted from a dozen sources.
The job of addressing the wrap
pers each week is a big one, as any,
one who has relatives in the serv-
ices can realize. Because of the
rapidly changing addresses, it is
Impractical to have them made up
for the mailing machine, SO they
have to he typed each week. It re-
quireS more than an hour and a
half Just to write the names. This
job has been takeen over, however,
and we gratefully acknowledge the
help. .;
Besides that, nearly every Thurs
day night when we are putting out
the paper, volunteers come in and
help wrap the nearly 200 papers
which we send to the boys. This,
too, is a distinct. help and we ap-
preciate it. go r....s.. =. -. e..
It's a job well worth while, we
think. The boys all seem to appre-.
ciate getting the paper even if it
is from a week to two months old
when they receive it. A letter this
week shows that one of the boys
over in England has received his
first copy. It was the issue of Aug.
~, he says, so there must be big
pile of 'em waiting somewhere for
him. z. T. a
Anyway, We are going to keep on
sending them for the duration, and
we do appreciate the help we have
received. .-.-..
