ALICE FAYE HEADS
 ARRAY OF STARS
"HeIIO, Frisco, Hello" at LOew-POIi's; 2Oth Cen-
 tury=FOx Masterpiece

When it comes to making musical pictures, there is one studio in Hol- iywood that tops them all. Now the word is that 20th Century Fox, makers of "Alexander's Ragtime Band," My Gal Sal" and Spring time in the Rockies" have done 1t again with Hello. Frisco. Hello" The film, which is slated to open today at the Loew Poli theater, rates right alongside-perhaps even ahead of-those other famed filmusicals.
 It's little wonder the studio is pre-eminent in this field. when one sees what they have to work with. Hello, Frisco, Hello" is produced in sumptuous Technicolor and boasts a dazzling cast of headlinerS, an en- tertaining story, an abundance of music-both new and familiar-all neatly packaged with some of the finest production numbers ever con- ceived.
 The stars? Hello, Frisco. Hello'' marks Alice Faye's first film ap- pearance in over a year-which is welcome news indeed. With her is handsome John Payne in a tailor made role, and rotund Jack Oakie plays for laughs. Completing the list of stars is luscious Lynn Bari, who doesn't sing or dance-and brother, she doesn't have to!
 The story, simply told, is set or San Francisco's Barbary Coast. Four entertainers are trying to get on ir the show world. The dynamo of the outfit is Payne, but the the req

AOAAAAAcbSA " eAAS JON~@oN@ ON~~~~NN~-~' Of course, it is not all Abbott and his Kindergarten. Considerable praise must be accorded to the au- thor, F. Hugh Herbert of the Hol- lywood sweatshops (not to be con- fused with the film comedian of similar name), who has supplied a neatly -contrived script and believ- able characters. He is one of the few film writers to come forward with a well-written stage comedy within easy memory, and he is no veteran writer for the stage as are some of the Hollywood authors.
 No Fancy Material
 Herbert doesn't try to think up any fancy materials for "Kiss and Tell" He just uses lot of old ones well. The story concerns a neighborhood feud between com fortebly- fixed middle class families resulting from mild aspersions which a family with a 15-year-old daughter has cast on the 7-year. old daughter of another as result of an innocent kiss-selling venture the two girls engaged in at Red Cross bazaar. The older girl is in love with the Army aviator brother of the younger girl and the feud of the parents does not interfere with their romance. In fact, when the flyer comes home on 72-hour leave preparatory to shipping out the couple decide to marry secretly and hope that the family quarrel will be patched up shortly so they can receive the paternal blessing.
 The secret bride becomes preg- nant and enlists the help of her young sister-in-law to make ciandestine trips to an obstetrician. Some gossip sees the younger girl coming from the doctors office and the word gets to the unwilling grandmother who loses nc time in going next door to crow that instead of her daughter being of questionable character it looks like the shoe is on the other foot The parents of the younger girl of course, are aghast, and their daughter, since she gave her brother her solemn promise not to reveal the elopement, lets them believe that she is an unwed mother-to-be The parents think the guilty man is a strange soldier they have be- friended, but the girl tells them that the man who done her wrong is the gangling kid next door who is her boy-friend.

Relief
Not Probable

The hard fact that local restau-
rant men have little chance OF any
special government aid TO avoid a
developing food shortage in the
Ypsilanti area. was revealed today
by w. +. Fitzgerald. senior ration
ing officer of the OPA who said
that the federal food control bu-
reaus are relying on the point sys-
TEN 10 solve the whole problem.
He says, I'VE expected restau-
rants 10 complain. They will have
to cut into their reserve stocks.
We scarcely found one in the coun.
try that isn't well stocked. There
will be a so day period between
now and the time the point sys-
tenn gets in It's effectiveness when
there will be slack supplies. but
the point system will take care OF
that" Reminded that restau-
rants were complaining he replied,
Yes, we expected that, but they
will have 10 share the food with
their customers"
Told that large packing houses
were retracting their trucks and
sales in The Ypsilanti area, he
said, Yes. we know that, and II
they don't readjust their distribu.
ton themselves and get back on
schedule, every pound OF meat
they sell in this district will have
10 come over the food ratloning
desk and we shall allocate IL for
them just as We have had 10 do
in other parts OF the country"
Speaking OF the influx OF popu-
lation here and the demands by
transient workers he said, You
are no worse of than they are at
San Francisco and Los Angeles
and other West Coast places. We
shall avert starvation, but you will
have TO wait for the point ration
