IF TOURING to tropical chimes

by the presence of ship-destroy-

nothing to prevent your climbing
aboard one of the current mo-
ton pictures and taking a nice
vicariouS vacation.
In Bahama Passage" at the

accompany Madeleine Carroll

Soft Winds Blow

In any case soft trade winds
are blowing across our local
screens, so if you are tired Of
billiards. and taxes, take an
abbreviated holiday in warmer
climate. The theaters are well
heated, too.
JOHNNY EAGER" doesn't
have quite such balmy back
ground, but he's certainly prov
ing a popular fellow at the
United Artists where this Robert
Taylor-Lana Turner deal is on
for a second week.
It's Taylor's toughest assign
ment, in more ways than one,
but he carries it off, with just
enough sinister swagger TO make
the feminine population start
that thing all over again.

Supporting Cast

They have assembled quite a
goodly company in support OF
Miss Hayes. Louis Borell plays
a French journalist and naval
officer who is imprisoned in
Paris by the Nazis. John Wen
graf is concentration camp
tyrant; Tonic Selwart is his
swastika aide, and Evelyn Var
den is Miss Hayes companion,
while Is others fulfill the nu-
merous minor roles.
In addition to the regular
eight performances, Miss Hayes
and the company will give a
special Thursday matinee for
the Actors Fund.
Eddie Carr and Billy House
are carrying on like crazy in
the stage version OF "HellZa-
poppin' which returns to the
Cass Theater, March 8.
This is the third time this
fancy show has been here and
the customers are still coming
back for more. This trip the
boys and their keepers will be
here for two weeks.
In the mad company which
goes on and on, are Grace and
Nikko, the Three Oxfords, Paul
Gordon, the Steiner Sisters,
Bobby Jarvis, the Read Sisters
and Eddie Nelson.

Plenty Of Opportunity

Men won't mind. however, for
they get plenty OF opportunity
to see Miss Turner exotically
bat those lush eyelids in their
direction.
Newcomer to the screen Is
Richard Whorf, whom you will
find playing an important part
in Blues in the Night" the
second picture on the Michigan
screen.
He got his start as member
of the Lunt and Fontanne COM
pany, and that kind of training
amt hay. Keep an eye on him,
because we think this is one
Whorf that won't miss the boat.

French West Africa Joins u

ton Of War Effort

The Allied forces continue
fierce fighting in Tunisia with
the Germans making every effort
to maintain their ground there.
And while an Allied position was
penetrated Sunday, this gain was
erased early this week. Allied
forces are reported gaining in
air strength over Tunisia while
Germans are weakening.
The new u. S. P-38 Lightning
fighters swept over southern
Tunisia, destroying two planes
at the cost of one. Headquarters
revised the figures on aircraft
losses Sunday by adding three
axis and five allied planes to
those previously announced as
destroyed. One allied pilot was
saved.
Earlier the British veterans of
Dunkerque and their U. S. COM
