Margaret'
Clicks IN
Big Way
By CHARLES GENTRY

TIE PATTER OF little feet and
baby tongues on the screen have
stolen more film footage thar
Louis p. Mayer can produce in
year. but few youngsters have
caught on quite as quickly as little
Margaret O'Brien. the young star
Of Journey for Margaret" which
begins another week at the Broad
way Capitol today.
When we first saw her at the
United Artists, we realized that
she had a tremendous appeal. but
we were skeptical about her sbil'
ity because the role of a blitz'
baby is such a natural.
We'd even feel sorry for that
brat who lives next door and
wakes US every morn at s a m,
II we thought he'd been bombed
into becoming an orphan of the
European storm.
But our skepticiSn about Mar
earet has vanished during the past
three weeks that the film has been
showing. due 10 the number OF
calls concerning Margaret.
Many fans who read that war
correspondent w. l.. Whites tale
about adopting an English child
from a war home for orphans was
the real thing. believed that Mar
Caret was really an evacuee child.
There is a real Margaret, whom
the son Of the we'll known au-
thor, William Allen White brought
10 this country and wrote about,
but she is not the child you see
on the screen.
The coincidence OF names may
have had lot 20 do with the
confusion. but Margaret O'Brien
was born right in Los Angeles in
1887.
The only effects the war have
had on her have been a shortage
of sugar for her corn flakes and
the fact that she has TO pull her
shade down al night because of
the black-out regulations.
The daughter of an insurance
sales manager. Margaret, first at
tracted the attention of a friend
of the family. Paul Hesse. who
Is a well know magazine illustra-
tor. He used Margaret for model
and her picture has appeared on
the covers OF several national
weeklies.
The O'Briens had no intention
OF letting Margaret O'Brien en-
bark on film career. until the
studio took several children from
her school 10 use in one sequence
Of Babes On Broadway"
That did H.
Director Wood Van Dyke was
groggy from looking at over 1,500
tests of little girls crying their
eyes out. when an assistant who
had worked on the musical sug-
gested little girl he had seen in
Babes" who seemed to be COM

nletelv Irnawara az fhA fact that

pletely unaware Of the fact that
she was in front OF a camera.
They tested her the next day
and Margaret, still a little girl
who doesn't seem 10 know that
she has a movie career got the
part.
The proof Of Margarets success,
however. 10 us lies in a very
significant fact.
All the inquiries about the film
have been made about her and
none about little Billie Severn, the
little boy who plays Peter and
shares an equally important part
with Margaret"
His role is quite rs sympathetic
and quite as important, but all
the questions are about Mar
garet" and what her next role is
going 10 he.
This would be indicative ~ the
fact that MargaretS next role is
going 10 be quite an important
one. although we can't tell you at
present writing just what is sched-
uled for her.

public mind relative 10 the under
standing of this system and its
workings. The picture tells movie

Then he looks a little blank.

The assistant director comes
over and starts pushing and pull
ing bars and levers. He is puzzled
and finally they call for an exper'
on juke boxes who shows FREQ
how this one works.
Maybe Fred and the assistant
director haven't really got fumbly
fingers. Maybe the Super-Supel
juke box was just too much fol
any one but a really super-supel
jitterbug. They know all abou
these silly things.

Gentlemen Jim"
A Knockout;
Stors Enrol Flynn

Translated into ring jargon.
Gentleman Jim" is a knockout.
Packing all the excitement of the
1905 and the other color of the
Gay Nineties, the current Warner
Bros picture at the Kootenai the
atre showing Thursday, Friday and
Saturday is an action account of
the life of James ]. Corbett who
somehow typifies the period in
which he became heavyweight
champion of the world. Especially
worthy of mention is the thrilling
climax of the picture in which Cor
hett wins the crown from John l.
Sullivan in the New Orleans bout.
SkilIful Directing
Raoul Walsh, ace director of &C
ton pictures, has handled Gen
tleman Jim with the same skill
that he gave Desperate Journey"
Enrol Flynn, as Corbett, and Alexis
Smith, as belle of the times, turn
in excellent performances.
In similar vein the supporting
cast, headed by Jack Carson, Cor
belts best friend, Alan Hale who
plays Pat Corbett, Jim's colorful
dad; John Loder, sutton for the
hand of Alexis Smith; Ward Bond
as the redoubtable John L. Sulli-
van; William Frawley, who plays
Billy Delaney, Corbett's first train
CT and manager, follow the example
set by the stars, showing the kind
Of work that can only enhance their
screen careers.
The story of Gentleman JIM
opens in the San Francisco Of the
1905 where boxing matches were
banned by law but heartily APP
proved-and attended-by the peo-
pie. James L. Corbett, ambitious
San Francisco bank clerk, and Wal
ter LoWrie, Jack CARSON, mis-
friend, were two of the ring
staunchest supporters
Through Vickie Ware alexis
SMITH, Corbett crashes the exclu-
sive Olympic Club and here en-
cages in his first boxing match, ar
exhibition bout put on by the club
in which he knocks out a former
English champion.
A series of spectacular victories
over leading fighters of the time
allows Corbett to challenge Johr
L. Sullivan and in the famed Sep
TENDER 7, 1892, bout he wins thu
/ heavyweight crown. Corbett':

Destroy Expired
Rotion Stomps

Housewives are urged to destroy
all expired red or blue ration stamps
to help guard against black markets
in food. Reports TO OPA indicate
that many storekeepers have asked
their customers for expired stamps
and in turn have used them to buy
more food from wholesalers. Be
cause foods bought at wholesale
with these stamps can be sold at
retail without points, every expired
stamp given to a storekeeper is a
potential contribution to an illegal
market.
