FRONT FIRST-HAND

SITTING in your armchair, read- ing communiques and ccoun S of war in your daily paper or trac- ing advance of an army on your map. you've probably wondered about the complex action that takes place when thousand men of our side and the enemy's meet in battle.
 In his "The Battle Is the Pay off" (Harcourt, Brace: SD. Capt. Ralph Ingersoll gives you grand stand seat for a day of war, takes you along with a few hundred American soldiers to fight against the Germans. Ingersoll, best known as editor of New York's tabloid PM, also fought in World War I, covered the Battle of Britain first hand, flew around the world Will kie style, visiting Moscow during Russia's dark hours of 1941-42, then enlisted in the Army 8 private after a brief exchange of opinions with draft board that failed to see he performed any essential activity in his capacity as a 42-year-old new spaper editor.
 Ingersoll's story is of the prep arations for ant' the action on a single day of war. one battle in which American soldiers fought the enemy, accomplished their ob- jective and went on to fight an- other battle, and another, in north ern Tunisia, in Sicily, in Italy. While the battle he describes so vividly took place on a few square miles of Tunisian mountains, it Is in reality the battle being fought today by every . s. soldier in all parts of the world.
 The battle. Ingersou explains, is the climax to the many long months of training, travelling and toughening that e,cry soldier undergoes before he comes face to face with war. His story of the battle will give you keener understanding O what this war is all about, how the hoys that used to be soda fountain clerks and shoe salesmen are able to meet the test of conflict, and remind you that no matter how much you are doing to back the attack, there are so le fellows out there who are doing more than any of us.

Johnny Come Lately" James Cagney's newest and best picture to date, opened its engagement at Warmers State theater yesterday with capacity attendance at all per- formances.
 The film was produced by William Cagney, Jirnmy's brother and marks his first independent production.
 Adapted from the Louis Bromfield story "McLeod's Folly" which deals with a vagabond newspaperman Johnny Come Lately is one pic- ture you'll enjoy from start to finish.
 Cagney plays the fighting news paperman who, upon becoming in- volved in gallant old lady pulp fishers crusade against corrupt pon- tics in a small town, finds himself battling heavy opposition.
 The exciting fight in the Cagney picture takes place when two hired gunmen attempt to shoot and kill the publisher, played by Grace George, and her star reporter. Carrying the old lady to safety, Cagney runs after the thugs and manages to shoot one. He grabs the other near a stone wall, but the thug hits Cagney on the head with the butt of his revolver and escapes to waiting carriage.
 Cagney, however, jumps over the wall and grabs onto the back of the already swift-moving vehicle. He hoists himsetf up and, as two horses careen wildly through Jimmy releases a lighting blow which hits Hart SO hard that he falls of the carriage. And thus, Johnny Come Lately" can boast of another win- ming feature the most thrilling fight since Farnum and Santschi in '"The Spoilers"
 The film was produced by William Cagney, brother of James, one of Hollywood's outstanding producers. Others in the cast include Marjorie Main, Marjorie Lord and Hattie McDaniel.
 "Buckskin Frontier" a stirring drama of the pioneer days when the railroad was first pushing west, is the second hit of the program and features Richard Dix and Jane Wyatt.

This is the story of girl-and a rainstorm-and the role it played in helping an unknown become a star. A studio executive looked at the screen test of a girl newly ar- rived in Hollywood.

The next day, when the young actress and her mother were packing their trunk to return to their home in the east, it started to rain. The girl looked out theNwindow of their hotel room and watched the drops racing down the glass.
 Mother she said, "rain has al- ways been lucky for us. Some thing good always has happened to us when it started to rain. Let's wait just a few days"
 So they waited a few days and something good did happen. One of the screens greatest male stars had seen the screen test the young executive had turned down. He wanted the girl for a role in his next picture. From there the story is familiar to millions. But not SO well known is the role played by a rainstorm.

 They remembered that her fam- fly had always been poor They knew she had lived through lean years from the movement she started singing with a dance orchestra until she hit the jackpot in a Broadway show and was hustled off to Hollywood. The contract with the girl of their imaginings and the creature at the railroad station threw studio officials for 50-yard loss. Quietly amused, they sat back to be shown.
 The girls first picture was corn- pleted and previewed. She was summoned to the executive office, and told that her contract had been torn up. She thought she was fired, but the studio had found a new star. They gave her a new contract. raise in salary and stardom.

 George Lessey is playing the role of the presiding judge. He seems little uncomfortable during re- hearsals, and Director Andre De Tuth is quick to note the fact.

 Tt isn't that" Lessey explains, but you see, this is the way I looked when fined Henry Aldrich ten dollars for speeding in his jal- opy; and the way I looked when granted Irene Dunne a Reno di- vorce in one of her pictures.
