STRAND

"Hitler's Madman," now at the Strand theater, is the blood-stirring story of Lidice, the little Bohemian village the Nazis erased from the face of the earth in a world-shock- ing war incident a little more than year ago.
 While, as would be expected, shudders predominate, what with Nazis at work, the story is firmly and beautifully bound together with strong human qualities, notably in the love theme portrayed against the background of bloodshed by Alan Curtis and Patricia Morrison.
 Curtis as Karel Vavra, young Czech recently of the R. A. F., and Miss Morrison, as Jarmila Hanka, his sweetheart, are brought together as the couple who conspired in the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the "Hangman," vividly portrayed by John Carradine. It was this as- sassination that heralded the shock ing NaI repriSals under Heinrich

STATE

Capacity attendance at the air conditioned State theater yesterday marked the New England premiere of the sensational film Destroyer, starring Edward G. Robinson, Wa terburys favorite tough guy.
 A mighty sea story that will stir you with its gripping scenes of ad- venture aboard gallant fighting ship, Destroyer" is a spectacular drama, indeed, heart-warming and breath-taking at the same time, as we are brought close to the magni- ficent men who stalk the enemy in a fast. aggressive ship that was born to fight
 The thrills and laughter, heart break and inspiring deeds, become part of you as you watch this grand bunch of swaggering, fighting fools.
 Robinson is said to be at his best in the role of Boley. and it is said even tops his memorable Little Caesar role as tough, tender, stubborn "old Navy" man who fights every waking moment to make his ship sing.
 Marguerite Chapman, Glenn Ford and Edgar Buchanan play the fea- tured roles in support of Robinson, Miss Chapman as his daughter and Ford portraying the fresh, but handsome young sailor, who falls in love with her Edgar Buchanan is the stars buddy in the picture, even joining the Navy to be near his idol, though he hates the sea.
 Scenes of battles at sea with Jap anese subs and other enemy craft are said to be the most thrilling ever captured on film and brought to the screen. All are authentic in every detail, having been filmed under Navy supervision. Everything about this new production is big and from advance reports 1t is des- tined to head the list of 1943's out standing screen successes.

- M1 Hollywood
By ERsKINE JOHNSON

This business of celebrating Mothers Day 365 days Q year is a lit eltoo much, Rosemary De Camp said today. Not that she isn't proud of her screen sons, Jimmy Cagney in Yankee Doodle Dandy" Ronald Reagan in This Is the Army" Sa- bu, couple of unnamed youngsters and now Robert Aida as George Gershwin in Rhapsody in Blue".
 It's just that she is tired of gray wigs, padding, rubber chins, wrink- les. soggy handkerchiefs, merthol tears in her eyes and people want ing to help her across the street.
 For . beautiful young lady my press agent says I'm 27 but I'm really 30'' Rosemary De Camp has grounds for complaints. Holly wood has typed her as sweet old lady. Every time she steps in front of camera she's 50 or even 70 years old.
 FAME'S PRICE
 Now 1t is not that sweet old ladies are not well paid in Hollywood but being typed in Hollywood as an old lady is bad business for beautiful young lady.
 They'll finally get tired of my wrinkles and rubber chins," Rose mary explains, "and someone else will get the mother roles. My agent will try to get me roles as somebody's sister or maybe a gal who breaks up somebody's home and the casting director will say, Rosemary De Camp! Ye gods, no. All she can play is mothers"
 "Id like to play menace" she says, "or steal somebody's hus- band, or play low, sneaking woman" Just to prove she's the type to be herself, she recently went to a photographer and had q glamor sitting.
 Except for one scene as 1917 chorus girl in This Is The Aarmy' Rosemary De Camp has never ap- peared on the screen as her glam- orouS self. That one scene has started Hollywood to thinking that baybe she can play some thing besides mothers.
 Producer Jesse Lasky called her and her agent to his office at War ner Bros. studio the other day to discuss role in the film biog- raphy of George Gershwin, "Rhap- sody in Blue" They were not told what kind of role Lasky had in mind.
 HOPES AWRY
 T was hoping he wanted me to lean against a cocktail bar in the Parisian sequence. So I put on a ted dress, foppy hat and went to Mir. LaSky's office," Miss De Camp said, Jesse didn't want Rosemary to lean against any bars, however; he wanted her to play the mother of George GerShWin and he had the cont1act all written out.
 Rosemary De Camp, daughter of Prescott, Ariz., mining engi- neer, arrived in Hollywood four years ago via Mills College plays, summer stock Connecticut and radio soap operas. Martha Scott helped her win a role in Cheers for Miss Bishop"
 Two years ago she became the wife of Municipal Judge John Shidler of Torrance, Calif., who is now a corporal in the Army. Eight months ago they became the par entS of 8 daughter.

NEW YORK, June 19.-Walter M.
Dear. chairman of a committee OF
newspapers to cooperate in cutting
more pulpWood, yesterday called the
growing shortage of pulpwood sup
plies Americas No. material prob
lem.
Since both the United States
and Canada are reported to be using
more pulpwood out of inventories
than are being produced" Mr.. Dear
said, "a far more serious shortage
of products made from pulpwood Is
inevitable unless immediate steps
are taken to cut more wood"
MIR. Dear, co-publisher of the Jer-
sey City Jersey Journal, pointed out
that pulpwood is the raw material
used to make smokeless powder and
containers for blood plasma, food
and munitions as well as print pa
pers.
He said United States pulp pro-
duction was off more than % per
cent in the first four months of
1943 and Canadian and Newfound-
land output was declining at an
alarming rate.
War Production Board Chief Dom
aid M. Nelson in May appealed to
farmers to devote three extra days
in 1943 to cutting pulpwood to over
come the threatened 2,50O, ,0O0-cord
shortage.

become the great news center OF
the world.
Whatever his purpose in tell
ing the Newspaper Guild in Bos-
ton his low opinion of Washing
ton newspaper reporting, the ef-
feet of such a statement is to
break down the confidence of the
American people in the news re-
ports going out Of Washington.
Coming from the chief propa-
ganda officer of the Government,
this is quite mouthful. Mr..
Davis was particularly critical of
the amount of space given the
chickering's and outright battles
which have taken place among
Washington bureaucratS. The
Washington news writer's, he
complained, have failed to write
adequately of the great accom-
plishments of the administra-
ton, of labor and of industry in
converting this country to an all
out war footing. He spoke rather
bitterly.
The newspaper men, Mr. Davis
said, have not kept pace in this
conversion from peactime to war
time efficiency. They are looking
at news from the point of view of
1888, he contended. They have
not been able to "retool" to cover
IAN immensely complicated story
quite outside their familiar field
Some of them" the Owl
chief said, still seem to feel that
battle between a couple of ad-
mlnistrators is bigger news than
a battle between American and
Japanese navies.'
Entitled to Opinion.
This, of course, is the opinion
OF Mr.. Davis and he is entitled to
1t. However, if any newspaper
reporter in Washington has put a
row between couple of bureau
Gratis ahead of reports of naval
battle between American and
Japanese fleets-or between
single Japanese vessel and a
single American vessel-I have
never heard of it, nor does there
seem to be evidence of such a fact
IN the newspapers themselves.
Mr.. Davis proclaimed himself
friend of free press. He COM
mented on the freedom the press
enjoys in this country-even
during wartimes. The freedom
OF the press is guaranteed by the
Constitution. 1t is, therefore. a
right. Mr.. Davis probably would
be the last man to admit the
course of the administration has
been to limit this freedom. Yet
what the administration has been
dong is to try to limit the free
dom OF news gathering. Without
freedom to gather the news, in
whatever way seems most effec-
tive, newspapers are deprived, in
a measure, of the freedom to
publish it.
Here in Washington, in the
executive agencies, news and
statements of public officials
must clear through the OWL.
This has been brought about.
