stars as identical with the roles they

still another production designed to

in Uncle Harry"
Even the 10-year lull, however,
was not enough to efface the mem
ory of the two as one of the more
brilliant acting partnerships in the
modern theater.
The Movies Gain Scope.
The war and its effects are being
treated, for once, from every possible
angle on this weeks screens. And,
in each instance, the result is a
piece of engrossing screen drama.
The completely realistic treatment,
full of death and destruction and
equally replete with drama, is that
to be found in The Battle of Rus
sia' at the Columbia. There have
been some vivid pieces of camera
reporting since 1899. from Para
mounts first newsreels of the battle
of Poland through the Nazi's Vic
tory in the West" and England's
Desert Victory" but none excels
the Capra picture on Russia in
forcefulness.
The picture is almost perfectly
counterpointed by Hollywood's "Prin-
cess ORourke" at the Earle. The
Imagination takes more than a bit
of stretching to fit this Warner
product into the war category, but
1t still remains a fine piece of
Whimsy about a refugee princess
romantically involved with an
American aviator, and both of them
deeply concerned with the problem
of postwar integration of monarchial
republican political PHILOSOPHERS. It
is handled quite eXpertly among
things of its kind.
That it is possible to take comedy
slant on the actual zone of combat,
of German occupation and such is
apparent in The Adventures of
Tartu," the English-made melo-
drama now at the Capitol. Com
bat between an English spy and the
whole Nazi occupying force of
small Central European country
never before has been presented-at
least so amusingly-with such
aWareness that it has its lighter side.

New Style of Pinups
Will Outpoint Old
On Statistics Sheet
By the Associated Press

HOLLYWOOD.
The films, always on the alert for
new ways to present feminine beauty
and grace. have outdone themselves
this season. With the demand for
pinup pictures has come an even
stronger consciousness of the i'm
portance of group use of pretty girls.
Special efforts for something new
include the bringing of a group of
cover girls from New York for a
film Of that name, Gloria Nord's
rollerskating troupe, brought to
town for "Pin-up Girl" and now the
assembling of SO expert swimmers
for water ballet scenes in Mr..
Coed" played by Red SHELTON.
This group of mermaids, working
with Esther Williams, represents the
pick of the country, selected over a
period of months. They represent
a much more buxom type, and many
a soldier sailor or marine whose
taste in beauty is based on a more
solid type of feminine form. may
find his ideal pinup girl among
them.
They average 1877 pounds, and s.
feet-and-5a4 in height, against the
lib pounds and two inch taller type
OF the cover girls. Both are heavier
than the typical Hollywood chlorine.
Weights of individual sea sirens go
as high as $50, 149 and lat for three
girls and who are 5-foot-812.
Average age of the swimmers is
211z, though the girls vary from Is
to "a. This represents more young
sters than any similar group of
extras, dancers or cover girls, for
there are two aged Is, six II, and
three 18. Age does not seem to
determine weight, for the $50 and
147 pound girls are both II, and a
15-year-old tips the beam at 1876.
Like the cover girls, the swimmers
show the trend toward brunettes,
with more than twice as many
brownettes as blonds, and a single
redhead
1t takes different kind of figure
to be swimmer, and fill swim
suit pleasingly. These girls may yet
outdistance their simmer sisters in
the race for Johnny Doughboy' s
favor, since his likes influence en-
tertainment.

Separation Of "Bernadette."
A recent example is Jennifer
Jones, who recently ANNOUNCED she
would seek legal separation from
her husband, Robert Walker, Metro
Goldwyn-Mayer player. Jennifer
plays the star role, that of the
sainted peasant girl, Bernadette
who discovers the miracle working
shrine at Loudres, in The Song of
Bernadette
Common sense would suggest that
il Jenniter Jones gives good per-
formance as Bernadette, the picture
will be unaffected by her private af-
fairs. which in any case are not of a
censorable sort. Common sense,
unfortunately, often has little to do
with public reactions, which are un-
predictable, due to this unfortunate
matter of associating the player
with the role.
Sometimes, such association pro-
tects star. Two male luminaries
recently involved in court actions
have had no perceptible unfavor-
able reactions from their followings,
as their screen characters are wide
ly variance from the charges made
against them.

on rhapsodic writeups about their
private lives.
The offstage friction broke loose
while the couple still has some fur
ther work to do before the cameras
as lovers.
The Wrestler's Wife.
Incidents such as these are often
the fault of studio attitude, which
demands them by casting so close to
type. Purportedly wise producers
have been surprised before. De Mile
has an uncomfortable memory of
such an incident involving Judith
Allen. who later turned out to be
the estranged wife of a heavyweight
wrestler.
A few years before, De Mile had
lost one Of his brightest stars, Estelle
Taylor, when she married Jack
Dempsey, as he felt it would affect
her career. 1t did, and with a sigh,
Judith Allen was dropped.
