Matrimonial mixupS and parental counterclaims all figure prominent ly in the new film comedy produc- tion. Casanova Brown" which stars Gary Cooper and Teresa Wright, and is said to be one of the most sparkling screen offerings of the season, which opens Thursday at the Loew Poli Theater.
 After CaSonova Brown (Gary Cooper has carelessly burned down the mansion of his parents-in- law, they get an annullment of his mar riage to their daughter Isabel (Te- resa Wright). On the eve of his second matrimonial venture Caso- nova learns that he is the father of child by Isabel.
 He finds his child at a Chicago maternity hospital, and learns that Isabel is offering it for adoption. He won't stand for this-seizes the in- fant and takes it to an obscure Chicago hotel, where he devotes himself to the intricacies of baby tending. He telegraphs his fiancee to postpone the wedding until he gets things under control. But things become more complicated. He knows he'll soon be discovered and the child taken away from him, but he thinks that if he provides the little girl with a mother, every thing will be all right. He proposes marriage to Monica, the chamber maid, who accepts him, and they visit the Marriage License Bureau
 Things finally catch up with Ca sonova, and he finds himself con- fronted by Isabel, by his fiancee and their two pair of irate parents -and-by Monica! How he extri- cates himself from this apparently hopeless predicament is told in the mirth- provoking climax.
 Anita Louise has the role of Madge Ferris who nearly marries Casanova, and her parents are played by Frank Morgan and Isabel Elsom. Patricia Collinge and Ed mund Breon have the roles of Isa- bel,s parents, and Mary Tryen plays Monica, the chambermaid, who also nearly marries Casanova!

STRAND

One of the most colorful male screen roles of the year-the dash ing, immensely rich, immensely powerful Major Augustus Parking ton of the Louis Broomfield novel Mrs Parkington"-went to Walter Pidgeon, thereby reuniting for the fourth time the combination which made screen history in Mrs. Mini ver," Madame Curie," and "Blos- sons In the Dust"
 With Greer Carson in the title role as the fascinating Susie Park ington and Pidgeon as the empire building Major, the picture closes tonight at the Strand theater.
 For both Carson and Pidgeon, the film represents a distinct de- parture from any of their previous Husband and wife" portrayals for fire, gayety and worldliness are the

pensate for the damage they do to the plot.
 June Havoc, who took over the title role when Ethel Norman gave it up during rehearsals, does a fine job. She is at her weakest in her song numbers. Lansing Hatfield of the Metropolitan Opera as the Rev. erend Davidson is not too successful. He was hired for his voice rather than his acting and this wasn't a good move because it is obvious that having him break out into couple of songs is decidedly wrong note. Singing doesn't fit this character
 James Newell, a radio favorite making his first Broadway appear ance, is good as Sergeant O'Hara and Ralph Dumke is excellent as Joe Horn, the Pago Pago trader. The character of Mrs. Davidson has been turned into a rather wishy- washy one to the detriment of the production.
 The strong point of the show is the dancing which was supervised by Edward Caton. Dancing honors go to Beatrice Kraft. Milada Ma dova and Chris Volkoff. Reuben Mamoullan directed.

FLIGHT ENGINEER IS BOSS OF
 THE BOMBER, SAYS ESQUIRE

flying personnel, the flight engineer is an enlisted man, usually a tech nical sergeant. His chevrons are outranked by an officers bars, yet at certain times, he can AND DOES tell his superiors what to do. Eel low crew-members from lieutenant colonels on down follow his recom- mendations willingly.
 Mechanical aptitude tests are given to every new recruit to help locate prospective flight engineers. These men are drilled for solid months in Aerial Mechanical Engi- neering. They learn to wipe and wipe and wipe every nook and cran- ny on the most inaccessible engine and fuselage surfaces. In time, an apprentice mechanic wipes his way up to be a ground crew chief, but before he can become flight en- gineer, he has further hurdles to pass, says ESQUIRE.
 Not only must he be in tip-top physical shape, but he must be im- mune to that unfortunate malady known as airsickness. With his large share of responsibility, it would be disastrous if he should fold up and turn green when things bounce around a bit, says ES- QUIRE. He must be a Deadeye Dick with the caliber sos for he acts as top gunner during battle. Behind a machine-gun, as well as monkey wrench, MT. Fixit does a man-sized job. He's the guy who chalks up those terrific records. |. the guy who manages the magic that keeps our bombers in the air long after their crews, by every rule in the book, should have hit the silk.

The man who sees that Amer ica's big bombers get back to base when the odds are 10-to-1 against it. the man who nurses the last precious flying minutes out of a crippled ship. the man who drops his wrench to become top-gunner on a Fortress when another sort of trouble strikes. |. . that's the flight engineer, the boss of the bomber; according to Sigmund Sameth's ar- ticle, BOSS OF THE BOMBER, in the March issue of ESQUIRE.
 Official records are full of the work of the flight engineer. though he may not always be men, toned by name. Sometimes his work isn't even mentioned. But without a good flight engineer, a certain Liberator with 2,100 bullet holes in it probably never could have returned safely to it's base. Nor would one Fortress have made it, wheezing in with only ounces of oil left in it's lubricating system.
 But they did make it. And oth- CTS continue to make it, every day, because they have on board flight engineer who knows inch by inch the miles of electrical, hydraulic, oxygen, fuel and oil systems.

He is responsible for ev- cry fixture of the ship from wing tip lights to the lock-nut on the bomb shackles in her belly, says ESQUIRE.

12 SPEAKING 
Joe PRIVATE SAYS i;

Shame on Noah Webster for his definition of a library as, "a build ing devoted to books alone," and shame on any G. I. who thinks of his Base Library in that light! Shame on us too for devoting all our columns to books alone! True, books from an integral part of all libraries, but more and more en- phasis is being placed on the word "service."' This is particularly true of the Army Library which func tions under the Special SERVICE Branch of the Army SERVICE Forces.
 What are these services we offer you? Read on and see for yourself.
 Every Tuesday evening at 1945, the worlds best-loved composers and artists visit the Base Library via the Brunswick record player. The weekly programs vary widely and reflect the musical interests of the audience who makes them up, for practically all numbers are re- quests. Not everywhere will you hear one program which will in- clude Gershwin, Bach, Gilbert & Sullivan, Beethoven and Palestrina; but we aim to please everyone, Bring in your musical request; if it's recorded we'll try to include it on our next program.
 Have you an inquiring mind? If so, bring your questions to the Base Library. We pride ourselves on our ability to supply the answers. If we don't know, we know where to look, and if we can't find the answer there, we'll go to someone who does know. Do you know why 1922 pen nies are almost as scarce as hens teeth Is General Arnold three-sta1 or four? What are the Seven Won ders of the World? Does a Straight Flush beat a Full House? We know the answers. We've looked them up for four G. Is.
 Your "one and only" knows how you rate on a davenport but are you sure you can compete with the other '"guy" on paper? The Base Library helps you cope with that problem too by offering you privacy at individual writing desks, where you can concentrate in peace and quiet, look up words in the diction- ary, or even copy your letters yer batim from ."'Letter Writing in War Time," a much-used reference book on our shelves. We even supply USO paper and reflls for the foun- tain pen. We've even been known to mail the letters!
 The Army Institute offers you an unusual opportunity to use your spare time to improve your chances for promotion or continue your high school or college education. Their catalogue is available in the Base Library and to quote it, Eff there are any questions still in your mind after you have read this through, talk to your Librarian or Special Service officer. He will ex- plain any details you don't under stand and will give you any advice that you need" Another page car ries a picture of an Army Library with the caption: "An Army library makes a grand place to study. It's quiet-and there are plenty of re- ference books to help the soldier student"

TAXES AFTER
THE WAR

Beardsley Ruml and H.
Stone, noted economists,
asked to write a report on
a national fiscal and none
tary policy for after the
war by the National Plan
ming Association suggested
among other. recommend
tons the following:
Abolish the Federal in
come tax on corporations
but adopt measures pre-
venting the use of the cor
porate form of doing bust
ness as a device t oavoid
to avoid payment of indi-
vidual income taxes. Sub
stitute a 5 per cent fran
chlse tax on corporation
income, which represents
the value of doing business
in this corporate form.
Two-rely upon the
graduated progressive in
dividual income tax for the
chief source of revenue,
but with a substantial re-
duction from present
rates. =.
Third-have no form Of
general sales tax.
Four - have excise tax
es on tobacco, alcoholic
beverages and gasoline at
the levels of 1943-but no
excise taxes of amy other
nature.
Why abolish the cor
porate income tax, Ruml
says there are three rea-
sons First. the Federal in
come tax on corporations
reduces business activity
in that it tends to raise the
costs of goods and SER
vices, it tends to keep
wages lower and limits the
