STATE

Capacity attendance at warner's State theater yesterday marked the opening performances of ''The Iron Major" based on the life story of Major Frank Cavanaugh, starring Pat O'Brien in the title role.
 The picture gives O'Brlen one Of his finest roles and presents Ruth Warrlck ir Q coLstarring role.
 Cavanaugh's action in ei1listing h the Army during World War !, de- spite his age and his family reepon- sibilities, because of his conviction that c man should fight for what he thought right, carries an inspire ing message to every American to- day. And 1t was for the purpose of bringing that message to the public that the picture was made.
 Beginning in Worcester, Masea- ctusetts, in 1891, the film depicts "Cav's" boyhood his early interest in football, his struggles to earn his way drought Dartmouth = for his parents intended him to become a lawyer. But the death of the elder Cavanaugh while the boy Is still an undergraduate forces him to quit school and go to work.
 Fortunately, his gridiron prowess wins him a coaching job ct Cincin- natl College. Subsequently he grad uates in law from Boston College, starts out to practice it, but finds his only real interest is in football. To support his newly acquired wife, he goes to Holy Cross to coach, soon becomes Q top figure in his field as his teams win Q long series of vice tories for that institution.
 In 1909 he returns to Dartmouth to coach, and continues to score sensationally with his iinconquer- able teams. And he is still there when America enters the war, and 'Cav" decides he must do his part overseas. Enlisting as Q private, he Is promoted steadily, finally is made Q major and, desperately wounded in action, is invalided home. On recovering he goes back to football again, coaching at Boston College and then at Fordharn, with all his old drive.
 "Gildersleeve's Bad Day" with Harold Peary, Jane Darwell and Nancy Gates is the second hit of the program.
 For Whom The Bell Tolls" is on its way to the State and will en- joy a special road show engagement at that theater starting wednesday, November Srd. The picture co-stars Garry Cooper and 1ngrid Bergman and Is being anxiously awaited by lo- cal theatergoers.

 This is a villa for WACs-the second company of WACs to come to Algiers. They arrived about six weeks ago.
 We still can't believe it," says Pvt. Lucille Smith of Milwaukee, Wis, pretty, auburn-haired special service clerk. "When we left the States, our officers told us to be prepared for the worst. We all ex- pected to be living on c rations limited to 8 pint of water day wearing helmets all the time and sleeping in pup tents."
 NO PIN-UP MEN
 Actually the WACs are sleep- ing in large, airy rooms, which ac- commodate from two to fourteen girls. There are two-tiered beds with springs of a sort, cork mat tresses, no sheets. The squad rooms are much the same as in any G. I villa, except for the presence of cosmetics. (Anything goes except bright nail polish and "pin-ur men.O
 The presence of the WACs has added new color in many ways. On sunny days the patio and balconies are splashed with the pinks and blues, the greens and whites and khakis of drying stockings, undies, pajamas, fatigue dresses and assort- ed G. I. garments recently washed
 The overwhelming majority ot the girls are stenographers and clerks. They work in just about every branch of the Army, their hours extending around the clock in shifts. Two of the WACs much to the delight of the rest of the Corps, work in Navy offices for no WAVES have yet been sent overseas.
 "We have about ten times as many requests for WACs in this theater as we can fill," says Ma jor Westray Battle Boyce of Rocky Mount, N. C., WAC Com- mander here.
 SWAMPED WITH DATES
 It isn't only officially that the Army wishes there were more WACs here. The G. I.'s wish so too. There are literally hundreds of men to every WAC here. The girls are swamped wth invitations to dates and dances and parties. The bulletin boards at the billets are covered with ingenious posters as various units vie with one another to lure WACs to their dances.
 Every night at about six o'clock the G. I.s start lining up in droves at the gates of the WACs' billets. Three phones are kept going con- stantly from six to seven as Sol- dirs beg the girls for dates.
 Party passes are issued in addi- ton to the two Hate passes" each girl gets every eight days. A late pass means eleven -thirty-other- wise it's home by nine-thirty.

Music Box Theater working for Mi chael Todd, the short stout who is the cigars best friend and the pro- prietor of a long-running musical nosegay (aroma burleska) called "Star and Garter" When the show opened in the dim past there was an animal act run by Gil Mason featuring some dogs and a monk who shuddered at mention of Frank Buck. When this act departed Dod- son and his simians replaced 1t.
 Dodson is a Texan. Ezis pre-oc- cupation with monkeys was sort of Q proces of evolution. He started out as a partner in @ wild animal show at a California beach resort which featured lions, tigers, wild- cats and some monkeys (the act, not the resort). When he and his part ner went their separate ways, Dod- son took the monks-their board bill was considerably less enabling Dod- son to eat more himself. The act worked around the country, appear ed here briefly in an unlamented musical revue called Keep Off the Grass" a few years back, and man. aged to be at Schofield Barracks, Hawaii, on Dec. 2, 194l. The Japs missed them.
 Dodson is full of suggestions on how to handle monkeys, SO if you're figuring on picking up three or four the next time you're down at the store, better listen:
 ITO the Iintutored Q monkey Is a monkey, but all monkeys are dif- ferent," he said. Each will be adaptable to different things and types of work"
 He explained that when he gets a new one he spends six months or year getting acquainted with its habits, especially its temperament.
 "At first the monkey will try you out, too" he said. He will try to bite or attack you or bluff you. If you show you have not the least fear of him and strike back, you will master him. If you show any fear at all, he knows 1t and will attack you more readily.
 Monkeys are jealous, like hu. mans. The females start Q fight and the males take it up. could never put two females in the same cage. I will never train any more female monkeys because I can't depend on them. never know when they are going to fight and most of the fights aren't funny-they cost me profit able engagements.'
 Dodson considers that Harvard furnished him with one of his more memorable moments. It was back in the days when film actress Ann

Sheridan was feuding with the Harvard Crimson" which had see lected her as the Hollywood player least likely to succeed. Ann, you will remember, replied that she already had succeeded far beyond the hopes of the average Harvard man. Har- yard had to do something to coun- ter that thrust and soon it was arl- nounced that Miss Sheridan was on route to Cambridge to make peace with the collegians. She would ap- pear at Q weekend smoker. Came the night and the students were asked to give the little girl a fair chance. The curtains parted to re- veal Blondie, one of Dod's monkeys, in a pair of skates. She saluted the Harvard men Bronx fashion and skated of.

INSPIRATION

As you can see, they are very busy gentlemen. Too busy, as you can see, to go around looking for inspiration beside moonlit lakes, stop mountain peaks, and other romantic spots songwriters are supposed to haunt.
 So how do Jimmy McFIugh and Harold Adamson turn out hit songs on order faster than @ movie queen changes boy friends? Or does @ Songwriter need inspiration when he's cashing a four-f1gure monthly pay check?
 Jimmy and Harold said they did need inspiration.
 Their inspiration, they said was the people for whom they wrote their songs.
 They tailored them, they said, just like a tailor works on Q suit. You can write a better song, Jimmy and Harold said, when you know who will sing it.
 When they get an assignment to write Q song for @ certain star, they measure the star just like his tailor would. Only they measure his range, what kind of a person he is, and his musical tricks.
 For instance, they said, when they were hired to write Frank Sinatra's songs, they made sure there were plenty of words and notes which the swoon -crooner could slur. That's one of his mu- sical tricks. He goes out of his way to slur 'em and 1t slurs 'em in the aisles.
 "For Eddie Cantor" Harold said, you write the kind of language he talks. Something with @ fast tempo something he can run around the stage with" Betty Hutton, Jimmy said, takes action songs. "You gotta give her something she can scream out - something she can go crazy with" Martha Rave is the same type.

r 10 - Hollywood
BY ERsKINE JOHNSON NEA staff Correspondent

If you treasure romantic illusions about songwriters finding inspira- tion beneath silvery moons with the fragrance of jasmine in the air, DON'T read this.
 Such illusions, Composer Jimmy McHugh and Lyricist Harold Adam son said today, are lot of bunk. At least if you want to eat regularly. The whole secret of successful song writing, they said, is to be "song tailors."
 McEIugh, one-tllne office boy at the Boston opera house, and Har- old, former actor with the University Players Guild, are the nations lead- ing tunesmiths at the moment with more hits than Joe DiMaggio gets all season, and more film seudio jobs than they can accept.
 Their Coming in on a Wing and Prayer" looks like it's headed for the coveted spot of top war song, already having sold 150,000 more copies than Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition.
 Harld's Manhattan Serenade, 1" "Daybreak" and Moonlight Mood" are cleaning up. Ditto Jimmy's Let's Get Lost" and Murder, He Says" They just turned out all of Frank Sinatra's songs for the filmusical, Higher and Higher" the score of Kay Kysers film, Around the World" and now the songs for Dick Haynes, Bob Eberle and Martha Rave for the 20th Gen. tury-Fox film, -Four Jills in a Jeep."
 Harold has a couple of songs in MGM's 'Mr. Co-Ed" and "As Thousands Cheer" Jimmy has a couple in "Best Foot Forward" If thy don't get lost in a sanitarium before Christmas, they'll also write Betty Hutton's songs for "Incen- diary Blond" at Paramount, and for Sinatra's next at RKO.
