 Produced in technicolor and talk ing S2 months and nearly $S.00o.0O0 to make. For Whom The Bell Tolls" will not be shown again in Waterbury until I945.
 The costumes worn by the prin- cipal players in the production are done in "camouflage colorS"-l1a- lures own hues which permit the garments to blend into the colors of the mountain and forest back grounds.
 The coloring and patterns of the clothing of the peasant costumes are taken from apparel worn by moun- tain folk in the rugged Sierra de- Guadarrama county of Spain, the setting of Ernest Hemintway's epic novel. American military author ities have been experimenting with camouflage colors for clothes and uniforms for months, but the peas- ant people of the Sierra de Gua- darrama perfected them years ago.
 Members of the mountain bands wore cloth dyed in the colorS from natures palette because 1t made the wearer less conspicuous in gueril- Ia fighting. This type of coloring was easily obtained from dyes which the peasants made from vegetable and mineral substances close at

Fred Allen and Jack Haley glared at us across the luncheon table. "Is was your idea" Fred said, sourly.
 "Yeah." moaned Jack. Everyone else is happy with one comedian. You gotta have TWO comedians. I thought you were opposed to dou- bled features?"
 we said we were opposed to dou- ble bills on the screen, but that to- day we just thought we would be different and interview two com edians.
 DO you give away dishes with your q olumn, too?" Fred wanted to know.
 "Or sell candy bars between edi- tions2" asked Jack.
 We said we were sorry we ever mentioned 1t. Perhaps we'd better go interview Jack Benny or Joan Davis. They were funny, too. We started to leave but Allen tripped us and Haley almost broke his back with a flying tackle.
 "Now about this interview" said Allen sweetly.
 "Yes," cooed Haley. Great idea. TWO comedians instead of one. Sensational idea. You'll probably win the Pulitzer Prize"
 Bring the man another steak, ' said Allen, calling to the waiter. "About 2500 points.
 And 6 couple of gags on toast" said Haley.
