Happy

THE FIRST lady of the Ameri

reception did nothing to disSipat'
Katharine Cornell'S enthusiasm FOL
her opening here tonight at IN,

1T seems 10 me that interest
Is mounting everywhere We 60
with "The Three Sisters. At
first when We decided 10 do the
CheknV PLAY every one said
why Chek0v' at this time" A
play about Illustration isn't what
the public wants. But the idea
Of doing something light along
the escapist lines seemed To
both Mr. McClintic and myself a
way out that was too easy.
I'VE figured that the highest
we could aim for In presenting
what we believed To he an i'm
portant work was the thing TO
do at this time.

time before, but our gratifica-
ton. and | believe that l can
speak for our whole company
lies In the wonderful response
we have had. not just from the
general public, but from the
boys in service aS well.
TOUCHING TRIBUTE
ar think the incest single
tribute we have received came
from an Raj flier In New York,
who said that life had become so
grim In actual combat, that
many of them had forgotten for
just what the standards they
had been fighting.
when he saw this production
with its great east, II recalled
TO mind just what serious thea
ter can represent.
II certainly don't mean TO
sound boastful. hut we all Of us
feel that we've accomplished
something of importance with
this play.
WORKING TOGETHER
give never been associated
with a more brilliant company,
nor with a more pleasant one.
No one wants to play any one
elSe'S part; all are working for
the ultimate good Of the play
and not one is anxious to take
any personal bows.
That's probably been the
most interesting factor. People
may have come To see Judith
Anderson. Ruth Gordon. Cert
rude MusgrOve. Edmund Gwenn.
Dennis King or all OF these stars

with the individuals who acted

happiest engagements I've ever

As gracious as ever. Miss Cornel

could be done, leaving the details

Bachelors Suffer Another Blow
By New Curb on Laundry 'FriIIs'

Wartime bachelors have been
struck another blow, it developed
today when the once of Price Ad-
ministration authorized laundries to
quit replacing buttons on underwear
or pajamas without lowering prices.
Outer shirts will continue to be
worn with buttons, as the new order
does not regard shirt button re-
placement a "frill."
Trouser cuffs will remain un-
touched repositories for lint and old
cigarette ashes, as untacking and
retacking cuffs during cleaning is
eliminated.
Pressing under the pocket flaps
OF a coat is considered unnecessary
In the new OPA code.
Hand ironing is "out" provided

Citizens Stand in Line
-Four Blocks Iona 10
File New Tax Forms

Income taxpayers lined up in a
queue nearly four blocks long wind
ing through the corridors of the
Internal Revenue Building today
looking for help in making out the
new declaration tax form due by
Wednesday midnight.
1t was the longest line since last
March Is, when the returns on 1912
incomes were due. The office. in
Room 1902 at the corner of Twelfth
street and Constitution avenue NV,
will be open from $50 am. to s
pm. today and tomorrow and from
$50 am. to midnight Wednesday
the deadline.
More than 5000 persons called at
the office Saturday, according to l..
A. Chamberlin. deputy collector in
charge Of the local office.
Try to Save Time.
Efforts are being made to save
the time Of taxpayers who do not
have to file the declaration. Large
signs showing who does not have
to pay are posted at every entrance,
and at corners where the line turns
from one corridor to another.
The sign reads: "A declaration is
not required If: i. you are single,
your entire income is from wages
subject to withholding and you re-
ceive less than $2,700 year; 2, you
are married, the total income of
husband and wife is from wages
subject to withholding and is less
than $500 a year"
In addition to these signs. per-
sonal inspection is made of the line
from time to time, officials said, ito
comb out" those who would not need
to file.
Some confusion still is arising over
the difference in the figures for per-
sonal exemption on the short form
Of declaration and the figures to be
used on the long form, or alter
nate" worksheet.
Figures Omitted.
One reader of The Star wrote,
saying he thought the figures to be
used on the long form, as printed
in The Sunday Star, evidently were
a discrepancy" The exemption
figures for the long form as printed
yesterday were correct. $500 for
single person, $1,000 for married
persons. and $3.50 for each depen-
dent. The Government inadvertent-
ly forgot to insert these figures on
the long form, as they do not appear
anywhere in the instructions.
The exemptions on the short form
are $3.50 If taxpayer Is single:
81 $40 If married or head of family,
and 1890 for each dependent. Hus-.
band and wife filing separate dec
larations may divide the $1,340 In
any proportion"
The reason the exemptions on the
short form are larger than the one
on the long form Is because the short
form is designed to cover certain al
lowances," which do not have to be
detailed. These allowances are for
earned income credit, and for de-
ductions such as interest, taxes and
contributions"
