POLES

Linking three brilliant Holly wood stars, Robert Taylor, Charles Laughton and Brian Donlevy M-G-M's Stand By For Action, which opened at a special New Years Eve midnite show at tho L.oew Poli Theater, brings to tht screen the most spectacular and ex' citing drama of the sea since "Mu. tiny on the Bounty"
 The picture tells the story of { gallant old destroyer, recommis- stoned and assigned to convoy duty on the Pacific, and its heroic crew Taylor plays young lieutenant anc Donlevy his superior officer. Witt their men they fight off Jap air. craft, stage successful attack or battleship, under a smoke screen and bring convoy safely into port Charles Laughton, as an American admiral, has an address that fo1 patriotism and inspiration recalls his famous reading of Lincoln's Gettysburg address.
 Its action laid almost entirely at sea on the destroyer, the picture provides many amazing and exciting episodes, made possible through CO., operation of the United States Navy.
 Comedy is contributed by Walter Brennan as veteran yeoman and Chill Wills as petty officer. Rich- ard Quine, Douglas Eowley, Marta Linden, Marilyn Maxwell and Inez Cooper are among the principals.
 Especially exciting is the head-on attack of the destroyer, hidden be- hind smoke screen, that sinks a large battleship in the dramatic ter- imitation of a sea attack.
 On the same program is another smash hit, "The McGuerins from Brooklyn" featuring Max Baer and Grace Bradley.
 Once Upon a Honeymoon" CO., starring Ginger Rogers and Cary Grant in the comedy sensation oi the year, opens a five day engage ment on Friday at the popular Loew Poli Theater. Don't miss this four star comedy.

STRAND

'"The Black Swan" in technicolor, starring Tyrone Power and Mau- reen OHara is the current attrac- ton on the screen of the Strand theater. Capacity audiences still ate tend every single performance of this remarkable action hit, one of the finest yet to be produced this year.
 If you're looking for entertain- ment at its zenith. don't miss the engagement of "The Black Swan" at the Strand theater. for the pic. ture Is far and away tEc most out. standing film of its type the screen has seen this or any other season.
 Picture. if you will. the entertain Hlent dish that Is served. Tyrone Power, in our book orc of the finest of screen actors by virtue Of his ability to do anything and everything extremely well, Is in a role that is hand-tallored for him. As Pirate Captain "Jamey' WaTing, he gets every opportunity to dis. play these qualities that have kept him at the top oG the heap for the last five gears. Paired with him ln the romance that is smoothly su- peFimpop.d over the basic adventure story Is creamy eolnplexi0ned gors ge0lls MauFeen O'Hara. In the film Maureens a spirited damfei and it takes a great deal Of nlasterful woo- ing by the daahlng bueeaBcsr be- fore she's won over.

the genuine Estramudo. now retired, fat and futile. This creates sit- uation that taxes all of Serafin's wiles in extricating himself from arrest as the pirate, winning the lady and engineering the apprehen- sion of the real buccaneer.
 Lunt, whose admiration for vaude- vile is well known, has an op- portunity in this play to indulge in all of the hijinks he desires. He does bit of hoofing, some minor magic, puts on rnesmerizing act, seems to walk a tight rope from one balcony to another, and, in general, has a heck of a time. Miss Fontanne has a somewhat less strenuous role, but you can tell that she is enjoy- ing herself to the utmost. Luckily for the play, these two are able to transmit their enjoyment to the audience.
 Tn the supporting cast are Alan Reed as the real pirate, Lea Pen- man, Estelle Winwood, James O'Neill, Robert Emhardt, Walter Mosby and Clarence Derwent and large number of persons in the extra category.
 The Playwrights' Company and The Theater Guild joined in pre- senting this offering, which was staged by Lunt and John 0. Will son.

STATE

Held over by popular demand Warner Bros miracle musical "Yan- kee Doodle Dandy" will continue showing at Warmers State theater through performances next Tuesday.
 Since its opening last Wednesday thousands of Waterburians have seen this spectacular hit and are prais- ing 1t to the skies. Other thous- ands have voiced their intentions of seeing it two and even three times. It is really one picture you'll really enjoy seeing again and again, so put it on your must" list and be sure to attend the State be- fore the closing performances on Tuesday evening.
 Starring James Cagney as the immortal George M. Cohan *Yaf1- kee Doodle Dandy tells the story of his exciting career. The whole glittering show world is brought to life in the lavish production that has cast which will always be re- membered as most perfect for the times and characters 1t was to rep resent.
 Cagney doesn't try so much to like Cohan as he does to initiate his manner of speaking singing and dancing. The picture starts when Jerry Cohan, portrayed by Walter Huston, breaks away from his Irish Minstrel" act of the 4th of July long enough to join his wife, Nellie, played by Rosemary DeCamp, who has just given birth to Q baby boy. At first they are at a loss for a name but the doctor suggests George Washington, because 1t was Inde- pendence Day. But Nellie thought Washington was too long for the billboards so they compromised on the good old Irish name, Michael.
 The picture is replete with Co., han music and grand production numbers. ''Mary's a Grand Old Name," Give My Regards to Broad way" 'Over There" You're A Grand Old Flag" and "The Yankee Doodle Boy" are just a few of the fine tunes that will bring a touch of nostalgia together with an urge to join in the singing.
 Yankee Doodle Dandy" has a superb supporting cast which in- cludes George Tobias, as a wise-guy theatrical producer; Irene Manning, as the Gay Nineties heart-throb, Fay Templeton, Frances Langford, Eddie Foy, Jr., as his father and

JSN their current vehicle must espeare play.
 The only things you are likely to remember about "The Pirate" are the colorful backgrounds provided by Lemuel Ayres, the truly mag nificent costumes designed by Miles White and the performances of AL fred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne (Mrs. Lunt). AS play it is decidedly one one of Behraman's lesser efforts although his sparkling wit does show up frequently in the dialogue-and, in fact, it is simply a reworking of an idea used in play good many years ago by one Ludwig Fulde. It seems that when Lunt was an ap- prentice actor he had small role in the Fulde play and long cher- ished the idea of getting someone to turn it into 8 personal romp.
 The time of the play is early in the 18th century and the locale is 8 small village in the West Indies. The village big shot is a fat, un- romantic gent named Pedro Var gas, who provides well for his beau- tiful wife, Manuela, and her worth less parents, but doesn't pay much attention to her otherwise. Conse- quently, she has a lot of time for romantic thoughts, which, at the moment, are fired chiefly by read- ing book about the adventures of a notorious pirate named Estra- mudo. Into town comes 8 strolling player, Serafln, and his down-at- heels troupe. He sees the lady, falls for her instantly, learns she is read-
 ing about Estramudo and inme- diately passes himself off as that gentleman incognito. However, Sera- fin recognizes her husband as being

Broadway's Cash Registers Chime In Tune With Good Or Bad News
BY TOM WOLF

NEA Service stan Correspondent
 New York, Jan. 2.-After a year of war, entertainment impresarios have finally accepted Mars as the chairman of their board of direc- tors. Looking at the coming season, they freely admit that war news will dictate business Ilews-good tidings from the fronts, good business; bad war news, vice versa.
 Amusement world veterans whose fingers are most sensitive to the pulse of Broadway main artery of the show world--are dreaming of a greenbacked winter. They point tc the unprecedented fact that nc major night club has failed for nearly a year.
 OPTIMISTIC MIR. ROSE
 Billy Rose, whose Diamond Horse shoe is sensitive register of out of-towners' cash, pooh-poohs sug- gestions that higher taxes and lower gas allotmentS might ration pleas ure seeking. He optimistically pre- diets that travel rationing will mean that with fewer places to go, people will spend more on a1nusements. And as to taxes, why MT. Rose says they're tiny in terms of the newly rich Advertisement seekers en- 1arged income.
 Two words sum up winter theater war and women. An overwhelrn- ingly majority of the forthcoming dramas concern one or the other or both. The war, for example, in- spires at least half a dozen propect- ed plays with Russian themes alone.
 Women provide the basis of a dozen dramas ranging from the realism of Proof Thro' the Night" thes story of the heroism of Ba- taar'S nurses, to the foolery of '"Tag, You're It." which is described as a feminine "This Is the Army"
 Surprisingly enough, there is a considerable dearth of musicals, with relatively few of importance even scheduled for later produc- ton.
 GOLDEN FUTURE
 John Golden, whose current "Claudia" and "Counsellor-at-Law" make him the only producer repre- sented on Broadway during this and the last war, predicts a reversal of this war-involved trend. He looks for a swing to purely escapist drama.
 Mr. Golden also foresees 8 big theater season for morale reasons, pointing to the fact that when the German armies were only 25 miles from Moscow the Soviet government kept the capitals plays, pallets and opera going full tilt. And, he adds with a grin, if this cold weather Keeps up, maybe people will reverse the summer trend and go to the kheater to keep warm.
 Manpower? Yes, the war has Saken many of the amusement worlds leading men and supporting players. Nationally, this is particu- larly noticeable in music, with such top band names as Glenn Miller, Artie Shaw. Claude Thornhill, Orrin Tucker, Phil Harris and Eddie Duchin to name a few, in the serv- ice.
 Btt there are still plenty of 3-As and 4-Fs to carry on. And, every where in the amusement world. you're going to see more girls. Who'll kick about that?

WAGES

IN OUR free economy wage rates have been the
major key to manpower distribution. Higher
wage rates, accompanied by good WORKING cohol-
tions, will always bring workers from far and
wide.
When war industries were getting under way,
they paid rates which enabled them to get a work
force AS safeguard against labor pratlng
early in the war we began to develop wage sta
bilization agreements by industries. To mple-
ment the no-strike pledge Of national union
executives, national trlpartlte wage board has
been set up to albitrate differences between work
ers and arrangements. Labor, management and
public representatives on this board gave honest
service in an effort to correct lnequltleS as well
as to hold initiation in check.
But early in the government imitation control
program certain economists developed the IheOfy
of the 'inilatiOnaly gap.
These theorists fanced that all new income
would be spent on consumers goods. lhey forgot
that Wage-eaInerS are accustomed to managing
their incomes 50 as TO pay off debts, put aside
savings invest in individual and social insurance,
buy war bonds and savings stamps.
In addition, wage-eaYers have to save for IN
come tax, many for the first time
AS the nations work force reached all-tlme
peaks, national income mounted proportlonately.
More people were working and all were working
longer hours, so that earnings increased despite
the fact that wage rates had not increased in pro-
portion to productivity and capacity Of employers
to pay.
Office of Economic Sterilization, whose chief was
directed to ''hold the lnc'-to freeze wages while
the economy and national income expanded. The
result has been growing dissatisfaction due to a
sense Of injustice which has undermined morale
and created manpoWer problems.
Workers have looked to the National War
Labor Board for relief, for that Board was an ac-
compartment Of The no-strike pledge. But that
Board can no longer make effective decisions.
Arbitrary one-man control Of wages is block
ing all wage negotiation machinery and decisions
and thereby, at a most critical period Of the war,
interfering with the operation Of vital industries.
This IS Il serious situation which calls for I'M
mediate and constructive reconsideration of the
whole imitation control program. The idea that
workers alone must be denied earned increases in
wage rates the ground that they will imme-
diately try to spend everything consumers
goods is proven untrue by their eagcrneSS to pay
debts and buy bonds.
Workers can't save unless they are paid wages
that permit saving.
Revision Of our initiation control program
should be undertaken promptly and done speedily.
No anti-inilation program that haltS the order
ly and equitable distribution Of income from joint
work can hope to escape Interruptions Of work
due to resentment.
