Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1943-02-09

Judy and Fluffy deal with domestic
problems. blunder in their juvenile
way towards the wrong solutions.
Judy Likes the Movies.
To Judy anything out of the
normal routine of living has had its
counterpart in some movie she has
been. When she sees her father
kissing his employers daughter. she
remembers the scene in Wife VS..
Secretary" When her Uncle Willis
turns up after a mysterious absence
she reasons he must have been in
Jail. A situation just like that
occurred in Criminal Code"
The young innocents do their best
to restore placidity in the home but
they only conjure disaster. Their
conferences on the little troubles
that surround them are most anus
ing. their talk has the ring Of sin
cerity. and their eagerness to help
Is warm and winning. The Graves
family has a problem child in Judy,
but she never strays from your af-
lection and always can play upon
your heartstrings. These youngsters
are intensely human, always low
able.
Junior Miss" made its debut here
with the company now on Broadway.
The principals who make up this
company have been touring, realize
the human touch audiences like,
and Just where the laughs belong.
Bringing Hollywood to the Graves
household Is Cora Sue Collins, the
child star Of the movies who has
grown beyond the District child
labor law. With Rosemary Rice as
her pal, Fluffy, they get con-
siderable bounce and spontaneity
into the roles OF the subdebs, give
the leins a real sense of conviction.
This play belongs to the young
folks, but Robert Allen and Kath-
crime Anderson provide the expert
ence and understanding Of devoted
parents. Lynne Arlen, Sid Conrad,
william Whitehead, Pat Barry and
Edgar Mason are more than pleas
ing in the other important roles.
For q laugh with budding youth and
its variable moods. Junior Miss"
more than fills the bill.
Some Notes on Rationing.
Rationing could be worse. On
January 20, 1918, all theaters in the
United States were requested to
close one day a week to conform to
the National Fuel Administration
order. Exhibitors picked Monday
for closed doors, on what were called
"heatless days" ~.
Speaking of rationing, In New
York theaters patrons in pairs are
now limited to one theater program.
Share the program Is the idea and
help the publisher to meet his 10
per cent cut in newsprint paper.
Hasn't extended to Washington yet,
but don't bet Gregory Aires, who
prints the National Theaterf pro-
gram. is seeing how the plan works
In Gotham.
Circus TO Have Bond Openings.
Ringing Bros. Circus will 90 out
this year. but each opening per-
Torrance in every stand will be a
War bond rally. This means you'll
have to buy bond to be a first
nighter. In addition, the big top
will have bond booth and those
who invest in War securities will get
the best tickets. Idea was worked
out by Carlton Duffus Of the Treas
ury's War bond division, who Is
now In Florida arranging the de-
tails with Robert Ringing.
Treasury has also arranged with
Ralph Edwards radio show, Truth
or Consequences" to make a Ma
tion-wide tour in behalf of War
bonds.
About Those Dimes.
The Mile -o'-Dimes stand, erected
this year in front Of the Capitol
Theater, crossed $4,000, which is a
small mountain of silver Last year
the take was $4,000 and the in
crease is traced to the stesdier
stream of traffic on F street.
The March-o- Dimes collections
In the theaters are not yet COM
pletely tabulated. Loew's houses
In the downtown area counted up
1000, as against $500 in 1912
The Warner Bros. cinemas will add
at least $4,000 TO these totals. In
