/ American troops have captured
Arundel island to bring Villa, last
major Japanese base in the New
GeorgiaS, within close artillery
range, it was announced today.
Seizure of the island last Friday
by unopposed Yankee jungle fight
ers paved the way for quick at
tack on Kolombangara, site of Villa,
by closing the over-water gap north
of New Georgia to less than mile
across Blackett Strait.
Reports did not indicate whether
American guns already had been
set up to blast Villa. The base and
airfieldF garrisoned by an estimated
5000 enemy troops, lie in a cove
little more than two miles from the
northern edge of Arundel.
TROOPS FLEE
Japanese troops on Arundel ap-
peared to have fled soon after their
comrades evacuated Bairoko harbor,
on New Georgia under American
attack, and U. S. forces seized sever
al small islands to the south last
week.
A coral island about 10 miles long
and five wide, Arundel lies off the
northwestern New Georgia and
blocks the western ends of the eight
-mile-wide Kula gulf except for
the narrow channel of Blackett
Strait separating it from Kolom-
bangara on the north.
The latest success in the central
Solomons closed a pincers on Villa
since American troops hold Vella
Lavella, north of KOlombangara.
The news was tempered By slight
reversals in New Guinea where AL
lied troops the past few days gave
ground at some points before fierce
enemy counterattacks trying to save
that coastal base
Gen. Douglas MacArthur's COM
munique said sharp ground fighting
was in progress everywhere along
the southwest and western ap-
proaches to Salamaua.

TENNESSEE THRILLER

A dozen or sc X ars ago there
was tiny basement restaurant
in the Greenwich Village section
of NV York City where artists
and writers gathered. There was
tinny old piano and, occasionally,
someone would get up and play
while the whole group would burst

young girl, newly arrived in New
Imperial Valley press., 1943-08-30

This is the story of man VINO,
because he wanted to be an actor,
discovered that his worst enemy
was his father. He studied and
rehearsed constantly with the hope
of an acting career. He achieved
a certain amount of prominence
on the stage but there was always
something in the background which
stood between him and his goal.
Then he came to Hollywood and
made his motion picture debut
as an actor. And again it was the
same old story. He was a good
enough actor, but well, there was
that barrier-the someone he had
encountered on the stage And then
an important Hollywood executive
wise in the ways of show business,
Strengthened him out.
"You ought tC eve up acting"
he said. mo matter how good
you become, you'll never get the
recognition you deserve. People
will always say that you'll never
,e as good an aS.or as your
father"
The young actor saw the wis
dom of the friends advice and
cast aside the greasepaint and the
thoughts of stardom and became
a director-one of the best direc-
tors in Hollywood. The man
whose worst enemy was his fa-
ther-Director Lloyd Bacon, son OF
the famous Frank Bacon.
SPEECHLESS STAR
This is the story of man who
became one of Hollywood's bright
est stars because he didn't say a
word. He was new to Hollywood,
a not-so-successful Broadway
stage actor who had decided to
try his luck in motion pictures. So
far it had. been all bad.
Then came a motion picture in
which he was cast as villain. 1t
was just another small role-only
three days work = only three
lines of dialog. But his agent had
an idea. Would the producer
mind If the actor wore black
suit? It was an odd request, the
producer said it would be all
right. Then just before the pic
ture started, the agent went to
the producer again.
Look" he said, my client has
only three lines of dialog in the
entire picture Would you mind
very much if my client just didn't
say anything?"
