NEW KIND OF
 COMEDY COMES
 TO 10TH CENTURY
'Misbehaving Husbands Gives Another Angle
 10 Marriage State

To those who are just bit weary of hearing of marriage problems, the new Producers Releasing Cor poration edy. "Misbehaving Husbands" will come as mama from heaven for here Jel Buell., the producer and William Beaudine, the director, have conspired to put to- gether merry mixture which treats the enternal triangle ques- ton in an altogether unique and daffy way. From beginning to end, this laughfest which opens an en- gagement at the goth Century Theatre tonight refuses to be ser ious for one moment, providing the audience with gay and frivolous en- tertainment all the time.
 Usually most comedy about mar riage has to do with newlyweds, cJntering around the time- worn angles of the brides cooking and the groom's excitement upon learn- ing that he is soon to become a father. The problems of coping with the in-laws also a standby that must never be ignored.
 But in "Misbehaving Husbands Cea Sabin and Vernon Smith have thrown all the old chestnuts over board and in their place have con- cocted slightly insane set of sit nations and a dozen novel twists which make the story refreshing and totally different.

NEW YORK. - Betty Garrett made her debut in musical comedy when she was the third blonde from the left in the infants ward of a hospital in St. Joseph, Mo. When she cried, she was a basso profundo and she gave the nurses mysteries.
 Today the grown-up Betty, who can hit c above middle c and is a treat to the eye as well as the ear, is one of the reasons why Michael Todd has struck gold with his new musical, Something for the Boys"
 An added starter in a brilliant cast headed by Ethel Norman, Betty is the extra cup of coffee, the nylon stockings, the second spoonful of sugar that MT. Todd has conjured up in these days of rationing.
 She was given one of the songs which had been left over after Miss Norman and her leading man. Bill Johnson, had received their quota. It's called I'm in Love With a Soldier Boy" and she sings it with such appeal and feeling you would swear it's straight from the heart
 Its funny" says Betty, the dimple in her left cheek showing prettily, because my boy friend really is in the Merchant Ma rine"
 Overnight Success
 Five feet two, with blue eyes and ash-blonde hair, Betty is some thing of an overnight success, but it took six years of waiting and going hungry and appearing in a distressing number of Hops before she got her chance in a show like this, which has Cole Porter songs and a book by Herbert and Doro- thy Fields. Her only fame before seemed to come from that genteel Pullman car strip-tease she did in Railroads on Parade" at the New York Worlds Fair"
 Born in St. Joseph, she spent most of her childhood in Seattle. When she finished high school her widowed mother suggested fling at New York. So they packed up their cat and came east.
 That was in 1886 Betty got down to business with the Ameri- can Youth Theater, doing about 20 small shows. Her first real show was with Orson Welles' Mercury Theater Her part was an off-stage baby cry.
 Chlorine and Clerk
 She got experience and she worked as singer and chlorine in night clubs. Once in while oAlc ClcIhCO HI otOACo. 1ACi IiiC youth group tackled more pre- tentious show, of V We Sing" which drew some Broadway trade about a year ago. She had bet ter part in Let Freedom Sing" which also attempted Broadway last fall, but failed.
 Max Gordon saw her, however, and arranged an addition with Cole Porter She was put into Something for the Boys" as an understudy to Miss Norman, but soon showed she was too good for that.

SUGAR GIVES LOW
 DOWN ON WORKING IN NIGHT CLUBS.
She Watches Over Other Gir|s-Reddy to Act when
 Freshness Displayed
By ROBBIN COONs

II V U A- w V V AD - 4vAAsoC AON6 ei2 Geise, a night club queen, gave me the lowdown today on Sugar in her element.
 T just love it," she said. T love night club work and I think it's more fun than pictures"
 For two years and nine months, two shows a night, seven nights a week, the indefatigable Sugar has been lending her unrationed en- thusiasm and art to the floor show at N. T. G.'s. She leads the cuties on the floor, sings and dances, and serves as sort of aide-de-gag to the m. C., MT. Nils T. Granlund himself.
 And I haven't missed a show in all that time-I love it!" she said
 Sugar, pretty blonde with blue grey eyes and customer smile, wasn't in the floor show when met her today. She was on a movie set, playing the ex-girl friend of John Wayne in Free For All" Su- gar was wearing skirt and plaid blouse, with a ribbon in her hair, this being wild west beer parlor and she playing a dance hall girl.
 Sugar used to dance in pictures she's been in show business since she was three and Sugar since she was seven-but she didn't get any where much until she discovered night club work. Then pictures dis covered her, and she works in both. T don't need much sleep, anyway" she said.
 At the night club Sugar, as the boSs's aide, watches out for and over the other girls. If one of them is forgetting to keep the old smile on, it's Sugar who maneuvers by her during the number and whispers the reminder. Even a casual night clubber knows that the girls have to smile while they work, even when the smile looks frozen. Sugar says that's because girls generally look prettier when they smile, and be- sides they ought to look as if they're having a wonderful time, which they are. Sugar doesn't tumble to any suggestion to keep a dead pan expression, just for contrast. She even hinted darkly that with some girls it's a real achievement to pro- ject anything else.
 Sugar knows about wolves in the house from the mash notes they send, frequently with gifts, but the 4eal hazards in her work are the drunks-the bright boys who de- cide they'll show of with the show.
 You never know what they're going to do," said Sugar. Like when one of the girls was sitting on the rail during a number, and fellow reached up from a table to unite her bra. You've got to get there fast. Another time a trunk tackled a girls ankle and
 aid she couldn't get away, no mat

BY PETER EDISON

When the American expedi-
tionary forces moved into North
Africa, il was at first thought
that il would be necessary to
ship in large quantities of food
for the native population, which
had presumably been b | e d
white and starved blue by Nazi
and Vichy domination and de-
mand for all available war sup
plies.
Much TO the surprise of Amer
lean representatives of the State
Department, Board of Economic
Warfare. u. S. Commercial Co.,
and Lend-Lease Administration,
when they began to explore and
get better line on the resources
of the North African colonies.
it was found that the farmers
of the region had considerable
quantities of wheat hidden away
on their farms. The African
farmers had held back this
wheat from the Nazi purchasing
agents because there was Moth
ing in the native stores for the
farmers to buy.
To remedy this situation some
bri sht boys, who will probably
forever remain n Identified,
thought up an idea. Instead of
shipping in shipload after ship
load of wheat for the native bak-
ers, it was proposed to ship in a
relatively small quality of mer-
cl-andise to stock the native
stores.
Farmers would then bring
their wheat into town, sell it
for cash and use the cash to buy
the goods on shopkeeperS'
shelves, providing merchants
with cash to buy more goods to
sell to farmers who would bring
in more wheat, and so on. In
other words, normal trade would
begin to function again.
