CRABLE, MIRANDA
 HEAD POLL FILM
'Springtime in the Rockies Also Features Harry
 James, Orchestra

A rollicking musical extrava- ganga, filmed in gorgeous Techni- color against the stunning back ground of cye-tllling Lake Louise, ls 2oth Century-Fox's "Springitme in the Rockies" which opened a five-day engagement today on the screen of the popular Loew Poll theater, headed by a star-studded cast including such favorites us Betty Grable, John Payne, Carmen Miranda, Harry James and his Music Makers, and Cesar Romero.
 Producer William LeBaron obvi- ously was in magnanimous mood when he was gathering talent for this picture. To the unusually generous star roster, Mir, LeBaron added 6 dozen or more entertain ment aces, including Charlotte Greenwood, tho eccentric dancing comedienne, Edward Everett Hor- ton, Frank Orth, comedy delight of My Gal Sal and Jackie Gleason,
 Much of the action takes place at canada's enchanting Lake Louise, known the world over for its won- drous beauty. However, it is con- eeivable that more than one movie. Eoer, with an eye to scenic values, might anticipate with even greater relish tho prospect of viewing Miss Grable in the full glow of Techni- color magic, At any rate, the lake and the Grable would seem to ac- count adequately for the eye appeal of "Springtime in the Rockies"
 As for listening thrills, let's just mention Harry James and his Music Makers, and say no more, James talking trumpet Is to young America cause celehre, His torrid inter pretation of four new sock tunes by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren, any Of his many fans would VOW, could make the Rockies themselves rock with rhythm. And, of course, Helen Forrest, a James regular, chips In with Miss Grable, Payne and La Miranda on the vocals,
 Carmen Miranda's Latini2ing of "chattancoga Choo Choo" should prove to be still another musical highlight
 The film introduces many new spectacular dance routines, among these several specialties by Grable and Cesar Romero, a tricky number of Carmen Miranda and John paynO as we'll as Q solo knockout by the Brazilian BombShell; q Sen- sational number by Charlotte Greenwood and many others.
 On the same program Is another smash hit, "The Man in the Trunk" with Lynne Roberts and an all-star cast.
 Next Wednesday and Thursday, in person, the Loew Poll theater will present q gigantic stage show topped by Shep Fields and his orchestra, with their rippling rhl thns. Tn addition there will be m&RW other big stars and 0 ilne surrounding screen program

Entrance O the UNlted states into the war has presented show business with some problems, such as shortages of male actors, but 1t also has popped up the trade to a considerable extent,
 This time last year there was a certain drabness about the season, with everyone seemingly waiting for the blowotf which came month later, Despite the fact that more people had money to spend on the theater, the box offices didn't begin to benefit until after we got Into the war and the initial shock wore of,
 The summer just ended was the best Broadway has known in years and the upswiag continues, with shows which in past seasons would not have last more than a couple of weeks managing to stay on to at least small profits, One thing noticeable Is that when the United Nations take one on the chin now and then theater attendance falls of. When the news is good, 1t goes up,

 Short, short story: When he first arrived in Hollywood, Kurt Katch, the Rusian-born character actor, didn't speak English too well. So his studio bosses ordered him to sunday hard, read the comics, lis- ten to the radio and consult the dictionary frequently. Kateh stud- led and practioed and went out of his way to pick up AmericanismS. Months later he reported back to the studio. He could hardly wait to show how well he'd done with his English. Studio executives were impressed. They said they were proud of him, Next day the studio cast him in Q picture. His role-a deaf mute.

Promising Pictures Feature Progran1s Of Local 7heders
STATE OFFERING
 MUSICAL COMEDY
Fred Astaire and Rita Hay. worth Star in "YOu Were
 Never LOvelier"

Currently setting the pace for motion picture musicals Is the new tune filled film "You Were Never Lovelier," which co.stars Fred AS. talre and Rita Hayworth, and is currently h the third day of It's seven day engagement at Warmers State theater.
 Miss Eayworth and Astaire have combined their talents in Q picture so fascinating, so delightful, as to merit It's enthusiastic Hollywood ap. praisal as "the greatest picture of their lives"
 Highlightlng the picture are tho sensational songs composed by ter ome Kern, easily his greatest since show Boat"
 Astalre and Hayworth, probably the greatest song -dNnce-and- romance team in history, first ap- peared together in last seasons de- lightful Army extravaganza "Youll Never Get Rich" Now, in their sec- ond co-starrlng venture, they top with ease the rhythmic perfection of their previous performance.
 Dancing to Kern's music Is obvi- ously pleasure, c pleasure to do and @ pleasure to watch. Already the hit tunes of America's air waves, the Kern songs in You Were Never Lovelier" include: "Dearly Beloved, :" I'm old Fashioned" You Were Never Lovelier," wedding Tn The Spring." and "The Shorty George" :" among others.
 Tn addition, Xavier Cugat and his orchestra, who present KernS rhy- thms, perform one of their own world-famous speciality numbers, "Chiu, Chiu."
 The complications of You Were Never Lovelier" are said to be in strict comedic vein, with overtones of delightful romance lending ex- citement to the film. But, by and large, You Were Never Lovolier' is considered by Hollywood as Q gay carnival, q motion picture to be seen and heard, a molten picture to be enjoyed.

OTHERS ARE ALERT

Our last weeks somewhat caustic comment concerning the
Pearl Harbor debacle certainly was not aimed like a blunder-
buss at our army and navy generally.
This statement is occasioned by receipt of a release from
the Thirteenth Naval district in Seattle which says, among
other things:
For the first time it was revealed that Lieut.. General John
L. Dewitt, in command of the Fourth army, San Francisco,
and Real Admiral e S. Freeman, commandment of the (Thir-
teenth) district, have been holding regular conferences for the
past year" We gather from many sources that there is no lack
of preparation for any surprise on the west coast.
We also do not want to lose sight of the courageous and
masterful stand being made by General Douglas Macarthur
and his men on Luzon.
Along the same line, we note an editorial in the Helena
Record Herald concerning the corps of engineers. with whose
work we are more familiar. 1t points out, among other things,
that the engineer corps in the last two years has been growing
twice as fast as the army. Engineers in va are more important
than ever, in road and bridge building and demolition, mapping.
camouflage and a hundred other vital tasks. The corps in recent
months has been given n extra job, that of directing the huge
army housing construction program. and is prosecuting it Wig
orously and economically.
Our point is this: Because there have been some stupidhies
and errors, W. should not lose our perspective in general con-
demnation; we should recognize that on the whole admirable.
progress is being made by our armed forces.

HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN CAR DEALERS

The sarcastic comment of one man that an automobile dealer
is too small even to be considered small business in Wash
ington may have some truth. At the same time, every com
munity is bordering the future for its dealers, usually civic
leaders in their territories, who are about to lose the major
portions of their Eveihoods through no fault of their own.
We all recognize the need for allout war production. But
just as urgently needed is an increase of planning in Washing
ton so our whole economic system won't be thrown out of joint.
Sen. James E. Murray of Montana, Is chairman of the senate
committee specially appointed to study the problems of small
business, had this to say at the convention of the National
Automobile Dealers association in Chicago:
The dealers are willing and anxious to extend to the gov
eminent the highest measure of cooperation and support.
They ask only a full and fair hearing. and protection from I'M
necessary and inequiable consequences of arbitrary action. IF
our government, in this war emergency and in the interests of
the whole people, deems it necessary to stop completely pro-
duction of new automobiles in order to Use facilities Of the
manufacturers in war production under highly profitable con-
tracts, there should be some obligation on the government to
see that the entire economic burden of such stoppage does not
fall wholly upon the "A, 900 automobile dealers of the country
and their employees"
Further word from Senator Murray is that his committee has
lations from Price Administrator Leon Henderson and he ex-
studied.
We believe W share in a general feeling when we say that
sometimes during this emergency, sweeping changes have been
authorized in Washington without too much thought as to
their consequences. This appears to be true so far a IS car dealers
are concerned. 1t is now encouraging to know that these con-
sequences, serious for every community, may be to some extent
miigated and that some thought is being given the problems
of the small business man.
