1943 was an estimated 1,l29,00 tons less
than for the same period in 1912, Solid

production is emphasized by the fact
that the Nation will need an estimated
rs, 900 900 tons of coal more this year

Winter Cover Corp Seed
Large supplies of winter cover crop
seeds, acquired by the Government in
stabilizing prices for the 1912 crop, will
be released for planting this summer
and fall. AAA will release about 20
million pounds of Austrian winter pea
seed for sale by the CCC to dealers at
$685. per hundredweight, F. o. B. Ore

soil conservation measure, increase the
nitrogen in the soil when plowed under
and thereby reduce the amount of ferti-
lizer required and release n~itrates
needed for munitions.

Candidates this year especially are
having hard time interesting people in
the matter of voting. We hope the
lack cf interest shown so clearly
throughout the current campaig will
not continue through election day, Tues
day, August 3. The officials we elect
this year are going to be in office when
a war-weary world sees the dawn OF
peace. 1t is important that we get the
best services Of the best qualified men
in our local, county, and state offices.
Government today is big business, the
biggest business in the world, and the
American taxpayer should be looking
for capable, successful business men to
run that government honestly and as
efficiently as possible.
II we believe in representative gov
eminent we will consider it a response
bility as well as a privilege to select
the men who govern us and give serious
thought before we cast our ballot. The
only way Democracy can be made to
really work is for the people to exercise
their will ut the polls and after
electing men to office see to it they
carry out their duties in a manner to
meet the approval and best interests OF
the people.

while Ronald Colman, Claudette

characters of the Bromfield story
come to life in ''The Rains Came"
A drama of human emotions at
their peak, and the catastrophe
powers of nature at their widest,
the picture has been hailed as one
of the screens all-time greats"
The climax of the film, in which
an enormous dam breaks and adds
to the havoc of the flood that is
already sweeping Ranchipur, is
one of the most spectacular scenes
ever brought to the screen.
In "Under Two Flags" the un-
forgettable romantic novel of the
French Foreign Legion, romance
and spectacle are again dominant.
Climax of the film comes in a
lonely outpost in the Sahara, and
valiant fight against overwhelm-
ing odds, while the memories of
Colman and McLaglen burn with
remembrance of the women in
their lives.
Clarence Brown, famed for
long list of cinematic achieve
ments, directed "The Rains

acclaimed for his many triumphs,
directed Under Two Flags"

Musical Films
"Zooming''

looming is the only verb to de-
scribe the present state of musical
films in Hollywood, according TO
Harry Link, who handles the Leo
Feist distribution of music for
Metro Goldwyn-Mayer. Often called
out to the coast as a trouble
shooter" Mr.. Link returned last
week with broad smile and good
news.
No less than thirteen musical
productions are under way or plan
ned for Metro for the present year,
which represents an all-time high.
Five or six musical pictures per
year was in the past considered a
substantial figure. Bundled up with
the current batch Of thirteen are
contracts with some of the coun-
ry's leading orchestras, to be fea-
tured in these 1943 films. The
names involved include those of
Harry James, Vaughn Monroe,
Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey, Kay
Kyser, Xavier Cugat and Bob Cros-
by. Never has sunny California
been so packed with melodic notes,
running the gamut of everything
from symphony to i've.
As Thousands Cheer
M-G-M's technicolor hit, "As
Thousands Cheer, soon to be seen
at Loew's, appears to Mr.. Link to
stand out as the most impressive
musical show now being prepared
for release. This is Joseph Pater-
max production, directed by George
Sidney, with Kathryn Grayson,
Gene Kelly, Mary Astor and John
Boles in leading parts. Contributors
TO the musical score include Lew

Confirming the predicted trend
away from heavy drama and war
stories to more escapist entertain

Free China has only 40 theaters

The three movie studios are not
operated as an entertainment in

the recently filmed drama of the
underground in occupied China,
DEVILS Paradise, are exceptions.

tional Film prepares education for
China's youngsters.

America knows them. Each film
is an 11-foot strip containing IT'S
key scenes from the original. Each
frame is stopped on the screen
and a commentator tells what it's

space is precious, operating skill
scarce. The tens of millions still
have a surprise waiting them in

One of the few bona fide farm
girls in Hollywood today is Donna
Reed, who was born on Jan. 27;
when snow locked the Iowa corn
fields in a gripping white blanket.
She is appearing in "Dr. Giles
pies Criminal Case" her latest
under a longterm Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer contract, showing this week
at Loew's New Valentine Theatre.
William R. Mullenger is her
father, who continues as a typical
farmer, while her mother, Hazel,
still is a thoroughly competent
farm woman. AS child, Donna
handled a variety of chores on the
farm back home, including herding
with her brother, Keith, and two
younger sisters, Lavonne and
Billie.
Determined to lead career of
her own Donna drove an old fam
lily jalopy to Los Angeles in 1888.
She was intent on business
career and studied stenography
and secretarial efficiency for two
years at Los Angeles City College.
An afternoon job helped her pay
her way.
Named campus queen in De-
cember, 1910, the attendant pub
licity resulted in three telephone
calls by as many studios within "a
hours. However, in February,
1941, when she graduated, she
took a screen test at Metro Gold
wyn-Mayer. Van Heflin appeared
opposite her in the test and two
days later they were both cast by
the studio in "The Getaway"

First Effort to Show China's War
This is the first attempt to
show the war through Chinese
eyes. China (Paramount) gave
some idea of the spirit of Chinese
fighters but the principal charact-
ers were American. The Flying
Dragons (Republic) was really
about Americans.
MGM will follow Dragon Seed
with a picture about China's
child guerrillas. This is also based
on Miss Bucks book, which had
enough material for two movies.

marks that writer's initial bow as
director. And adding to the gen
eral propitiousness Of the occasion,
Mr.. Krasna also wrote the story, a
frothy comedy of errors that
sparkles with wit and charm.
Olivia in Princess Role
Key characters in the yarn are
Olivia de Havilland and Robert
Cummins, who star in the ro-
mantle story. Olivia is in the role
of royal princess in exile.
Bored and unhappy, she spends
her days in luxurious New York
hotel suite. To get her out of "that
mood" her guardian uncle, played
by Charles Boburn, sends her on
plane trip to California. Since plane
travel terrifies her, Maria fills her
self with sleeping pills and when
the plane runs into heavy fog and
turns back to New York, the prin-
cess is in deep slumber.
Co-pilot Eddie O'Rourke Robert
Cummings) tries frantically to
awaken her, and when all efforts
fail he enlists the aid of his friends
wife to put her to bed. The princess
awakens to find herself in love with
Eddie and after few dates he pro-
poses marriage. Under the impress
sion that she is a penniless refugee
Eddie brushes aside her refusal and
won't take no for an answer.
Sanctions Marriage
The princess finds herself in
quite a predicament. How to break
the news to Uncle! But good old
Uncle comes to the rescue nobly.
He's known all about her love
through the reports of a secret
service man and grants his ap-
proval. Though Eddie is not of
royal blood, he comes of a family
rich in the production of sons. Such
a prolific male strain delights
Uncle and the marriage is heartily
sanctioned.
Informed that his penniless refu-
gee is royal princess, Eddie falls
into an unhappy daze, where he un-
comfortably remains until he is in
formed that he must give up his
American citizenship to become a
prince consort. He rebels, quarrels
with Uncle and the marriage is off.
But Uncle did not reckon with
Maria. With the help of the famous
White House Scottie, Falla, and the
President of the United States,
Maria and Eddie are married in the
night by sleepy Supreme Court
justice.
Besides Charles Coburn, the sup
porting cast of Princess O'Rourke"
includes Jack Carson and Jane
Wyman.
