An altogether different kind of

some cases better.

One of the most important things

Third War Loan Drive. The the
aters in the downtown district and
some of the neighborhood theaters

Next vehicle for Miss Horne

signed by M-G-M to appear in its
forthcoming musical, "Ziegfeld Fol
lies.
They were selected in New York
by Bob Alton, not only for their
dancing and singing ability, but
also as likely leading man pros
poets. At the same time, Producer
Arthur Freed chose Alice Eyland,
beautiful model and show girl, for
a part in the same picture, and she
was signed by the studio.

with an authentic and interesting

Personal notes on the "Kids", as

tie same name for seven years, al
though the personnel of the troupe
has changed considerably in the
last year OF two Many of the

work in airplane plants, where they
can get inside wings and do fine
riveting and other chores that
would faze an ordinary aircraft
worker they have made many
moving pictures -. the whole gang
appeared in "The Wizard of Or"
(the movie, remember, which fea-
tured 125 midget)s Sevral of them
appeared in "Meet John Doe", MY
Life With Caroline, while Eddie
Adams, the movie star of the COM
pany, has made "The Great Zieg-
feld', "Charlie Chan at the Circus"
and others. Special note and one
which the kids have been chatter
ing about for week is that Mar
celia Porter, blonde and beautiful
danseause with the troupe, became
engaged to "Movie Star" Adams
during the week. The "Kids"
have done hundreds of shows for
the troops during the last year or
two, whenever they could sandwich
an appearance in between a per-
formance they have appeared
in so MANY night clubs AM theaters
from the rock bound coast of Maine
to the sunny shores of California
that even their scrapbooks aren't
big enough to enumerate them. A

One set of M-G-Ms "The
Man From Down Under" had
been used for several weeks,
but when Charlie. Laughton
and the rest of the troupe re-
turned to it recently, they had
to laugh.
The set included a once
beautiful Australian home,
that now had been battered
by Jap bombs. Windows were
smashed, doors hung off their
hinges, trees were uprooted,
debris was tossed everywhere
about the set.
But in the middle of the
confused wass was hitting a
sign, "Please do not disturb

had out Of World War |. Pro-
gressives in congress, backed up
by the unions, forced through a
provision for renegotiating war
contracts "a provision whereby
any government agency which had

He sees renegotiation of con-
tracts as an attack on the war ef-
fort, democracy, free enterprise,
religion, the American way, free
dom of the press, pioneer initiative
and million other things to which
the big money boys are equally
devoted.
What the annual take can

that more than S4 billion has al

Pickles may be Of either the
fruit or vegetable variety for there
are a great many varieties Of
pickles. Fruit pickles can be made
in a short time, but those made
from vegetables require longer
time-sometimes is long os several
weeks.
The best cucumber pickles take
several weeks in order to complete
the picking process and make
them crisp in texture, dark green
in color. Sugar is introduced gradu-
ally to the cucumber after it has
had a preliminary treatment in
brine or vinegar.
Crisp Pickles
How does one get crisp pickles is
the question most frequently asked
in picking. Select fresh, ripe
rather than over-ripe vegetables
and fruits for picking. Over
mature and stale vegetables will
shrivel during the picking process.
Old spices and low grade vinegar
are other causes Of pickle failure
It's important to use vinegar which

vinegar is usually preferred be-
cause of its mellow flavor. AS a
rule onions and cauliflower, which
are light, require white vinegar
to make a light-colored pickle.

modify the taste of the product
and also to preserve it.

picture shows than ever before and
(2) they crowd the theaters no
matter what pictures are run.
Producers thereupon decided to
make more expensive pictures and
fewer pictures and have the
.heaters keep them on for longer
runs. And theater men decided to
raise prices.
So picture stay on weeks in the
.irst-run houses. And while the
smaller theaters are waiting for
new pictures, they have to run old
ones made in 1897 to 1941 to keep
open.
The public finds its choice Of
pictures greatly restricted. People
who used to go to the theater sew
sral times a week have to change
heir amusement habits because
hey can't find enough new pic
lures. This may account for some
# the customer loss.
RKO, Columbia and some inde-
pendent producers have paid $780,
200 for a Gallup poll to find out
who goes to the movies and why.
DR.. Gallup informs them that their
oest customers these days are
aged II to 10, that the average
oicturegoer is 26, and that adults
# 40 and over show a tendency

Ny bet is that Gallup is also
;elling them that (1) shows are
too long, (2) prices are too high,
(3) new pictures are too few, "a
here are too many revivals.
He will probably report also
what fans think Of bomb-bursting
