recently when knee ailment put

overseas duties, the War Depart
ment announced last night. He re-
ceived disqualification here for only
brief period.
Before leaving the city, Gen. Mid

American doughboys are doing in
the Italian campaign.
cat no time in the World War in
France did I see front-line infan-
try soldiers face such hardships
from weather and the enemy as they
are now enduring in Italy" he said.
Despite the mud, continuous rain
and snow, he declared the morale
and spirit of the men is absolutely
marvellous"
The 45th Division, he said, has
suffered numerous casualties but
added that the men are mot afraid
of the devil" Stressing the value
of teamwork between infantry and
artillery, Gen. Middleton expressed
the opinion that during the train
ing Of any unit as large as a regi-
ment, the supporting artillery
should take part in the same prob
lem on the ground.
He was emphatic about the new
carbine. I'm thoroughly sold on
it, he remarked. Its a fine de-
fense weapon" He also praised the
57-mm. and 105-mm. guns for ef-
fective antitank action.
Gen. Middletons home is in Baton
Rouge, La. He cited the case of
Brig. Gen. Charles M. Ankearn of
Los Angeles, one of his regimental
commanders in emphasizing the
land mine as the foot soldiers

promoted to brigadier rank and lost

HOLLYWOOD.

A group of men in Sou Westers,
oilskins and rubber hip boots were
getting a good wetting down out
side Scottish village on stage IL
at goth Century-Fox.
The scene was that part of The
Keys of the Kingdom" in which the
fishermen of Tynecastle carry home
the bodies of Francis Chisholm's S
father and mother who have been
drowned.
Underfoot the mud was foot or
more deep. Director John Stahl
told one of the men to sink his foot
into it and draw it out again, then
nodded in satisfaction at the loud
sucking sound. The scene" he tells
them, will be made in silence save
for the drip of water off the bodies
and the sound of your boots in the
heavy mud and Roddy's sobbing."
Action begins. In silence, the men
carried their burdens across the
mud and into the cottage. Two
forlorn little figures followed-Peg-
gy Ann Garner as Nora and Roddy
MCDOWall as FRANCIS.
The children halted fearsomely
outside the cottage door, watching
the lamp-lit interior with stark
faces. Then the little girl planted
a shy kiss on the boys cheek, turned
and ran indoors closing the door
behind her. Roddy stood alone, a
picture of desolation. Then he flung
himself against the wall of his home
and sobbed aloud
This was the climax and the "cut"
on a scene so packed with pathos
that even hardened set workers
choked up little. But the veteran
Roddy quickly stemmed the tears,
and crossed to where his mother
was standing He blew his nose
violently and said casually:
Mother, is there any more of
that chocolate cake in the trailer?
And I could do with a spot of tea
The scene is a maternity hospital
on the set of Casanova Brown -
shooting at the Samuel GoldWyn
Studio with Gary Cooper and Te-
resa Wright playing the leads. Sam

Original plans called for nightly

From opening night, however
audiences have so taxed the capa-

Edward Perkins Mangum and his
cast have decided upon three extra
performances.
They will be given on Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday nights
next week.
Four new documentary films will
comprise an hours program which
has been set for March Is at the

Life and Death of the Hornet
and Road to Toxic" complete the

by the Canadian National Film

Mr.. Burrows is character, as you
may have gathered
His attitude toward Hollywood is
one OF the more fascinating aspects
OF the character Mr.. Burrows is.
That attitude is one of so What?"
A very strange one in view of the
fact that most members of his
profession look upon the place as
combination of Valhalla, Nirvana
and Paradise, with touches of
Elysium thrown in.
Hollywood" said Mr.. Burrows
vigorously and with finality, "is the
home of cheap enoings. Given an
even break, no good actor on Broad
way could possibly fail in Holly
wood. And without stage training,
no movie actor could come East
without stubbing his toe"
That is where Mr.. Burrows stands.
see, and he stands there despite the
fact that MGM has been sort of
courting him ever since he scored
his belated triumph as the old
doctor in the current John Golden
drama.
why didn't that studio do some
thing for me few years back when
I was playing bit parts for them?"
Mr.. Burrows wants darned we'll to
know. Il was better then than I am
now" he adds with more modesty
than probably any other actor ever
achieved before.
The aloofness he has toward the
cinema is merely one of several
which would enable one to refer to
Mr.. Burrows as an eccentric, If any
one dared. In his half century of
acting he has also become aloof to
such aspects of the theater as
rooms and makeup. He
will have none of either. As for
dressing, he puts on his frock coat
in his hotel, goes to the theater an
hour early and sits backstage in
any handy corridor. Makeup he
scores altogether. When his cue
comes he merely huffs up his hair
over his ears, marches on and
steals the show.
He is no more frail in body than
he is in spirit, his associates want
you to know. Not since 1909 has
he missed performance through
illness. Those he has missed have
been through the stupidity of pro-
ducers who neglected to give him
jobs, which happened many times.
1t never modified his bellicose
