Actors to Share Profits.

Actors to Share Profits.
That is a diamond-studded cast
which Katharine Cornell has as
sembled for Three Sisters" at the
National Theater this week.
1t seems, however, that these good
thespians were eager to play in this
revival, signed the Equity contracts
for nominal figures. If and when
the production cost of 5000 for
costumes and scenery is paid off
they will have a modest share in
the accruing profits. Those seeking
Miss Cornelrs autographs are re-
minded that she exacts a charge of
so cents for the signatures, giving
the profits to the Actors Fund of
America. Monday night playgoers
are also reminded that the curtain
will rise promptly at $50 and that
nobody will be seated during the
action of the first scene.
Global Premiere.
A colorful and exciting "global
premiere" which Washington and
a number of cities throughout the
world will participate, Is being
planned according to John J. Pay
ette, zone manager for Warner Bros.

cipation in the premiere which will
be held at the Earle Theater will
be celebrated on Friday, January 8,

participate in the launching of the
film that is graphic, true-to-life,
history in the making account of
the war activities of the air arm in
the Pacific are, in addition to WASH
ington, New York, Chicago, Seattle,
Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, and Mel
bourne, Australia. Other foreign
allied cities are being considered.
1t. Col. Jack L. Warner, who was
on special duty with the Air Corps
and was co-producer with Hal
Wallis of the picture, will arrive in
Washington today with Charles
Enfield, vice president in charge of
advertising and publicity, to discuss
plans with local representatives of
Warner Bros.
Plans are now being made
whereby several members of the cast
OF Air Force" will appear at the
Washington premiere. An interest
ing note on this is the fact that the
cast includes two former Washing
ton boys, Gig Young, remembered
for his work in THE Gay Sisters"
and Bill Crago, former radio an
nouncer for Station WRC.
Directed by Howard Hawks, the
megaphoner for Sergeant York"

A 5-inch naval rife built from
scrap metal is giving the Nazis hell
for hell out here these days.
It's trump Of movie technicians
over priorities.
RKO-Radio needed such a gun
for THE Navy Comes Through" in
which Pat O'Brien commands a
naval gun detail aboard an armed
freishter on the Atlantic passage.
Once = morale builder like that
would have won your Uncle Samuel's
instant cooperation, with a real
gun loaned. But not these days,
when every gun is in use-not in
the movies but on the seven seas.
So 1t was up to the movie wizards.
They secuted around, picking up
scrap here and scrap there. Finest
bit was a geared mechanism which
used to be part Of a bakery bread
mixer. Then the wizards spent five
weeks putting everything together,
according to photographs of naval
rife. Couldn't even get blueprints.
The bread mixer became the gun
carriage.
Finally came the big test, with the
gun firing and recoiling so per-
fectly that Capt. James Randall,
U. S. N. (retireO and Chief Boat
swain's Mate Ben Grotsky, respec-
lively technical adviser to Director
Eddie Sutherland and the man who
drilled the movie gun crew, gave
their enthusiastic okay.

A month Of anxious waiting ended
yesterday, it was announced by
Gradwell L. Sears, vice president in
charge of distribution at United
Artists Corp, with the safe arrival
in this country of the celluloid cargo
Representing huge investment
the film was in transit for several
weeks. 1t was expected momentarily
by plane or ship, but, because of
wartime censorship, its route could
not be ascertained beforehand by
cable from England. The delay was
caused, it was learned, waiting for
space on bomber, which, by special
arrangement, was to fly it to
America.
Deep concern was manifested at
United Artists as the print became
more and more overdue, because of
the anticipation with which the pic
ture is being awaited here. Advance
reports of the films dramatic great
ness, plus the fact that 1t represents
the first time that Coward has been
producer, director, authC., composer
and star of single motion picture
production, have built up unpre-
cedented expectations on this side of
the Atlantic.

Another Neglected Hit.
The logical sequel would be for
some movie company to pay an
extraordinary sum for the script
they once regarded as worthless.
However, the movies have had poor
luck with fantasy, Here Comes Mr..
Jordan" being their most successful
venture into the realm of fancy in
recent releases.
1t recalls a similar situation when
Alex Yokel decided to produce
Three Men on a Horse" It cost a
modest $500 to place upon the
stage. Warner Bros. invested $2,5OO,
but would not give a cent more.
Producer Yokel sold small amounts
to various amusement spectators,
some Of whom were glad to resell
their equities when Producer Yokel,
confident he had a hit, offered to
pick them up. The horseplay opened
at the National Theater, became an
immediate farce hit. Warner Bros.
made it as picture, but it was
only mild success, due to Holly
wood miscasting blunders.

Hearings on this issue lasted
three weeks. Agreement was
finally reached Friday, on the
overtime provisions. They will
become effective in UE-GM
plants ON a date agreed to be-
tween the Union and the Corpor-
alton. In case there is no agree
ment reached on the future effec-
tive date, then the provisions can
become effective at the Corpora
tons request. They are already
in effect in all auto plants.
The agreement reached, in
addition to overtime pay arrange
ments, provides for extension Of
the existing agreement until a
new contract is ratified. ALI agree
ments ON wages and other eco
nomic issues are retroactive to
April Is, 1912.
The overtime agreement pro-
vides for time and one-half on
the sixth work day, and double
time on the seventh consecutive
day of work irrespective of the
calendar week. However, en-
ployees who take time off for
personal reasons, must make that
time up at straight time, or time
and one-half, during the calendar
week, before double time can be
paid on the seventh day. Time lost
for all other reasons will not have
to be made up. The calendar week
will begin on Sunday midnight,
and time and one-half will be paid
for all hours in excess of 8 in any
day, and in excess of 10 hours
also.
The new agreement provides for
an adjustment Of the lunch period
to 20 minutes, if requested by en-
ployees. This twenty minutes will
be made up by Overlapping"
so that an employee will
not have to be in the plant for
more than eight hours, including
the lunch period, to receive eight
hours pay.
Swing shifts may be established,
to achieve maximum war produc-
and full utilization of ma
chinery. ALI details of the swing
will be negotiated between
The Union and the plant manage
nent. Such shifts for toolrooms,
maintenance departments and de-
oartments employing skilled
;rades workers will only be work
ID out by local agreement and
the approval of the I~nterna-
ion Union and the Corporation.

20.-The 5Oth anniversary game of
the Virginia-North Carolina series
tomorrow not only will bring to-
gether two teams that have both
missed scoring in only one contest
this fall and have averaged two
touchdowns a game in the process,
but it will have all the traditional
flavor of a tine-honored rivalry.
Play starts at o'clock.
An air battle of exciting proper
tions is in prospect between Vir-
ginia's great tosser, Tabb Gillette,
and Carolina's three experts, Shot
Cox, who threw the Tar Heels only
scoring pass last fall; Johnny
Pecora and Billy Myers, the sopho-
more who runs, passes and punts.
Three bands are expected to be on
hand for pre-grame and for inter-
mission entertainment. Virginia S
musicians will be led by Eddie Sacks
of Johnstown, Pa, the drum major
extraordinary with two "All-Amer-
lea" official ratings earned in Ma
tion-wide competition.
One of Dixies best school bands,
from Lenoir IN. c. High, will put
on its own spectacular show with
boy and girl musicians an dthe Tar
Heel team will be cheered on by the
student band from Chapel Hill.
North Carolina, on its record and
material, is heavy favorite, but Vir-
ginia entertains hope of an upset
and fully expects to do its best work

Coach Carl Heintel, who has been
with the Tigers ever since the start,
watched his charges roll up a 34-6
victory over Dewitt yesterday, and
then declared that all needed now
to make the season an unqualified
success would be another crack at
Central, which it would have if
Western defeats the Vikings today
to throw the high school series West
Division into a tie between Central
and Wilson. ,-
- Every player on the team per-
formed yesterday but again it was
Phil Funk and Bob Croweu who
were outstanding. Each scored two
touchdowns, Funk on short plunges
and Crowell on runs of % and 48
yards. Bobby Brewton got the other
Tiger marker on a pass from Monk
Barbee, while Devitt's only tally was
by Wakeman Allen to end a 65-yard
