Gardens 10 Be Needed
After Germany Falls,
Committee Is Told

Predicting Increased demand for
food efter hostilties in Europe end,
j. Morton Franklin, garden super
visor for the District Victory Garden
Committee. told committee members
yesterday that the number OF gar
deners in the District should fall
of very little next summer"
In his report to the committee Mr.
Franklin said he planned to call re-
gional Victory garden meetings to
determine. as much as possible, the
demand for garden space that the
committee may expect next year.
More Gas Would Help.
MANY persons who gardened this
year for patriotic reasons, or in order
to save ration points, may not raise
gardens next season." Mr. Franklin
said. These may amount to from
IS to 20 per cent of the gardeners
but their number may be filled from
gardeners coming into the District
and others who may become in
terested. Once a person learns the
goodness of garden-fresh vegetables
he usually remains gardener" Mr.
Franklin pointed out.
Mr.. Franklin said that If gas ra-
tioning is discontinued by next sum-
mer residnts who do not have gar
dens may want them on the out
skirts of the District. He added
that many gardens now located on
poor ground should be moved to
more fertile spots.

I'm fact, the final German de.
Tense line Is not yet reached, and
furious, f1uctuating fighting Is now

German defense was somewhat
strengthened recently by the length

with the fact that most French
harbors are unusable at the moment
But the lull has not lasted long
and seems over already. Enemy
activity becomes stronger again and
the pressure of armored spearheads
is becoming more insistent from
Northern Belgium to Belfort."
Capt. Ludwig Sertorious, Nazi

progress" had been made in the
consolidation of German lines, but
at cost of very hard fighting to
gain time"
He conceded gains by the British
I'd Army across the Albert Canal

Hedy's Cigarette
Trick Surprise
ToLeading Man
BY HAROLD HEFFERNAN.
HOLLYWOOD


1t was in the Warner Brothers
moonlight, and Paul Henried held
Hedy Lamar in the crook of his
arm. They were sitting in an au-
tomobile on a promontory overlook
ing the Portuguese coast. The ro-
mantle scene about to get under
way is figured on as one of the
knock-'em-cold moments in 1.-THE
Conspirators," for which Hedy was
sent all the way across town on
loan to play opposite Henreid.
The mood was holding well In
spite of the crew in the background
and the terrierlike restlessness Of
Jean Negulesco. the director, who
romped around issuing minute in
structions to Henreid on how to
hold Hedy-as If he didn't know!
Then Negulesco got an idea. Al
most anybody could see it coming.
why not light two cigarettes for
Hedy?" he asked, bounding up to
the running board. you know, just
as you did for Bette Davis in Now
Voyager'
Henreid looked panied. Sounds
kinda corny to me-" he opined.
Unless we can do some kind OF
switch on it,"
Right here Hedy lifted her long
eyelashes. Why not let me do it,"
she suggested
Negulesco shrugged. mo, Hedy,"
he said. ITS strictly a mans ges-
ture. 1t isn't the sort of thing q

lesco. with surprised admiration.
Learned from . gentleman, no
doubt"
"Ah, we forget" said Henreid.
"she's from Vienna, too. Who
taught you, Hedy? Maybe know

Hedy blew an impudent puff into
his face. Perhaps from the same
person who taught YOU" she re-
piled. rs q matter of fact, I
learned the trick from my friend

Fred MacMurray deposited his g.
foot-4 frame in q sleeping bag
spread at the foot of q sumptuous
bed In an equally sumptuous bed
room on stage is at Paramount. A
story point in the film comedy,
Practically Yours" was involved.
Fred, playing q naval flyer home
on leave from a year and a half in
the South Pacific, had found the bed
too grand for comfort and had
ordered the sleeping bag, the idea
being that he had grown allergic to
soft living.
After Fred pronounced himself
ready for the camera to proceed,
Director Mitchell Lessen called in
another actor. a four footed pooch
named Rommie. Rommie is a Cairn
terrier and he has part in this
film equal in Importance to either
MacMurray's or Claudette Colbert's,
although the human pair share star
billing. AS things are going they'll
both be lucky II Rommie doesn't
steal every scene right from under
their handsome noses.
On this occasion the dog was sup
posed merely to trot in and sniF
around the supine form of Mac
Murray. But Rommie decided to
build up his part. He tried his
best to climb into the bag with
Fred. smiling and smuggling and
blocking Fred's face right out of the
lens. Fred looked surprised. Then
he addressed the wriggling canine

war and/or q husband, a fortune, OF
an escape from the boredom OF the
place they just left. It implies that
all these things are In sharp con-
trast to the fine, outstanding way OF
life that once was practiced here
and does so In such q merry fashion
that Mr.. Fields seems to merit some
kind of prize. A plaque, maybe, to
60 with all those thousands of dol
lars he already has collected as q
reward in the plays two previous
presentations at the National.
"The Doughgirls" has new cast
on this occasion. It is composed OF
the group which played the spicy
fable for seven months in Chicago
and 1t apparently is in nowise in
ferior to its predecessors. Betty
Furness, Leila Ernst, Lenore Uric
Taylor Holmes and Viola Roche, ia
mention a few of its topnotchers
revel as merily as any one could
wish in the limitations that some
scandalously funny, or funnily scan
dalous, things are going on In our
midst.
If any new strangers have come to
town since the last visit OF the
Fields play in June, 1913, they may
not find it repetitious to hear a few
more words about 1.-THE Doughgirls.'
AS fresh as the day it was born, 1t
still Is a ribald comedy which is
founded upon the circumstance that
hotel conditions here are congested
At least congested. From there 1t
goes on to deal with other aspects
OF the municipal misery, how hard
1t is to separate professional and
romantic life, how high the party
bills run and how great the con-
fusion as to who shall be stuck with
them, and how CALAMITY but futilely
all private and public services are
meeting the stresses upon them.
Mr.. Fields crammed a lot into his
three highly amusing acts and has
stinted not at all in filling them with
people who symbolic what a strange
composite the Capital represents to-
day.
The "doughgirls" of the current
troupe are every bit as pretty and
witty as any previous lot which
has appeared at the National. They
are played by the Misses Furness,
Ernst and Peggy French, who make
a high-accomplished trio in the
art OF injecting informal romance
into the logics Of war.
They stand out not a whit, how
ever, above Miss Ullric, who has
the perfect accent and dark eyes to
make the playwright's Russian
Sniper character one Of the most
amusing characters of the war.
Nor, for that matter, above the
portrait which Holmes creates of
the harassed brigadier general
whose sense of duty is slightly
blurred, or of Viola Roche as the
bit part local female Judge who
creates nice sense of outrage at
what has been going on here since
l94l.
They might properly share Mr..
Fields plaque If, as we say, any
one cares to award prize for the
best comedy about Washington
since every one started writing COM
edies about Washington.
