Proudly We Hail' with Claudette
Colbert, Paulette Goddard and
Veronica Lake, is the third of three
youngsters who grew up together
in Atlanta to hit motion pictures.

returned from a five-week Victory

the heroine. That was impossible,

problem was solved by killing him
off at the wedding ceremony.
Peggy Allenby, actress on Phillips
H. Lords "Counterspy," regrets the
realism which Jay Hanna, the direc-

went into huddle, and when the
program went on the air Moss really
slapped fegSy, ana naro!
