More TiCketed
In AZ Than in Al

Detroit motorists in 1912 drove
more carefully and avoided the
major infractions of the law more
successfully than they did in 1941,
but they collected more of the
general minor tickets last year.
it appeared today from a report
issued by William f. Cohan, chief
clerk for the traffic court.
Cohans report showed that fell
onieS, drunk driving and reckless
driving showed a decided slump.
but that the total money taken in
fines and costs was S2I1 ,34l more
than the previous years accounted
for in part by the Eact that alb
sentee parking tickets went from
lie, 100 in 1871 to 11S.S09 in 1912.
General tickets issued in 1912
totaled 235,744, as against 2O4,-
cor in 194l.

gan digging in lis pockets 10 pay

in the secret plan 10 rehire 10
fired DSR strikers.
Currently the DSR Commission
is fighting il out in the court of
Circuit Judge Harry r. Keidan
with the civil service commission
TO prove that civil service was
wrong in ordering the strikers
returned 10 their jobs because of
lack OF evidence against them.
Judge Keidan. however, report
eddy sought TO effect a compromise
settlement between the two war
ring parties whereby the DSR
would hire the men back, but with
the two months back pay instead
OF six months since they were
suspended last July.
Expressing a hope that a COM
promise would be reached by Mon
day, Judge keidan adjourned the
court hearing until then. He re-
fused TO confirm or deny the COM
promise terms as announced by
Gilbert.
Strikers contacted by their at
torney, Judge Keidan disclosed,
have agreed 10 a compromise.
Members of both the DSR and
civil service commission were
sworn. however, TO complete Sec
reey, fearing that knowledge OF
the deal would seriously hinder
its chance OF success. Everybody
kept quiet but Gilbert who spilled
the beans in a newspaper yester-
day mot the Times).
Atty p J. M. Hally. who repre-
sents u OF the 10 strikers. agreed
that Gilbert'S lack of discretion
might constitute an expression Of
bad faith on the part Of the DSR
and force full payment of back
wages 10 the strikers.

manager, Fred A. Nolan, waTnedI
today that Detroit's bus service
would be crippled seriously unless
the parts distributor comes to

The OPA issued an opinion last
week STIMULATING ceiling prices on
Ford-made bus parts and declar-

Ford issued a formal statement
contending:

JACQUES

"Cuddling Cuties" continues tc draw capacity houses at Jacques theater where 1t plays twice daily up to and including Saturday night There will be an extra performance tomorrow at midnight to accomo- date war workers.
 The show has 8 wealth of good comedy, excellent scenic and light ing effects, good music and smart costumes.
 Heading the cast is Bozo Snyder, the man who never talks, and one of the few comedians on the stage today who specialize in pantomime comedy. Bozo seems to improve as years go by and his antics are suf = ficient to keep hts audiences in con- stant laughter every time he ap- pears on stage. He is aided and abetted in the fun making by Bobby Vail, another top ranking comic, and the clever straight-man work of Rance who acts the perfect foil for these comedians.
 The beauty parade is headlined by lovely Suzanne and gorgeous Gayle Page. two damsels who have been doubly blessed with an abund- ance of feminine pulchritude. Their moments on stage are sufficient to be long remembered and they have been scoring a big hit with Jacques

they don't make a play.
 Joan Blondell, 13 years away from the stage returns from Holly wood to play the leading role and proves to be inadequate. Able sup- port is given by Willard Mitchell, Phyllis Povah, Rex O'Malley, Ber- tha Belmore and Doro Merande, to mention the best of a large cast.
 The thing that makes you impa- tient with Miss Lee is that she has bothered with such a trite play when she has fresh material out of her own life for what could be one of the most hilarious comedies any one could wish to see. Possibly she is not the one to write 1t, but she has the material and certainly could fit in as collaborator. The play she ought to do would concern her childhood years when she and her then better-known kid sister, now prominent on stage and screen as June Havoc, trouped around the country under the watchful eye of their mother with vaudeville act that was a standard in the day when variety was something.
 Those who have read Gypsy's few magazine articles have gotten glimpse of this phase of her life and realize the unmined dramatic gold that lies in 1t. Now that she has gotten the burlesque phase of her career onto the stage, maybe she will turn to this earlier period and. with the help of a first-cla" comedy writer, turn out somethi' that will make The Naked Geni }" a vague memory.

 Members of the mountain bands wore cloth dyed in the colors from natures palette because 1t made the wearer less conspicuous in gueril- Ia fighting. This type of coloring was easily obtained from dyes which the peasants made from vegetable and mineral substances close at hand.

 Becoming acclimated to the work, sudden switch from Hollywood and she said, was e lot easier than the Vine to farm in Virginia. There was, for example. the 12-party tele- phone.
 Every time I received a call from New York or Hollywood, :" she says, T guess everyone rushes to the phone. You can hear cry ing babies and dropped pots and pans from miles around"
 The telephone, incidentally, Is in gate house three -flfths of a mile from the main house. Helen couldn't get a priority on wire to move 1t. It has its advantages, though.
 When unexpected guests arrive and phone up to the house., she said, T can get dressed before they arrive"
 There was also the problem of a Hollywood glamor girl suddenly taking up residence in a commu- nity of hard working farmers. Would they like her2 It worried her, she said, until she moved in. But her fears were groundless. They welcomed her as one of them, she said. She's been Missy Helen, the moving picture starr ever since. And every time one of her pictures plays at the viii age moving picture parlor," as they call 1t, everyone puts on their Sum- day clothes to applaud Missy Helen"
 As a matter of fact, she said, the day she arrived to take over the property a very glamorous photo graph of her appeared in na- tional magazine. She was reclin- ing, in filmy negligee, on a bear skin rug.
 "It scored the devil out of me-" she said. T was afraid of what the neighbors would think fnd say. It was funny-half dozen children met me with the maga- zine and asked me to autograph the picture"

 Genius Is stripper Gypsy's first play but her third major writing effort to get public circulation. She wrote two detective novels which sold well and In addition has sold several short articles about her trouping experiences as a child. Despite the work that the usually astute Kaufman must have put on the play as director and unofficial rewriter, the result is not delicious.
 The comedy has automiographical overtones, but they are exaggerated and not intended to delineate Miss Lees burlesque career. It concerns Q grade A stripper whose manager has exploited her into public prom thence as a collector of paintings and the author of book, which was written by a ghost and which the shipper hasn't even read. The manager is in love with the girl. but she is interested In blueblood who wants to make an honest woman of her and accepts him in a moment of pique after quarreling with her manager.
 Well, you know how those things gre. The girl discovers at the last minute that she can't go through with the marriage to Park Ave, and the fadeout finds her marrying dhe manager.
 The whole affair Is on a screw oall plane that reminds you of You Can't Take It With You except that that play was a good one. The girl lives in an apartment above saloon, all kinds of queer charac- ters-and animals--wander in and out, mother is a character ever ready to turn an honest or dishon- est dollar, etc. In fact, they seem Co have stuck in everything and anything that might fetch laugh with the result that the melange is Just that. It is full of corn that is embarrassing rather than adroitly fashioned so as to be enjoyable. It makes you wonder if Kaufman did more than tip his hat to the script &'here are laughs, of course, but
