Film Victory-ites
Abandon Plans
For Mass Tours
BY HAROLD HEFFERNAN.
HOLLYWOQD.

A disappointing event that the
Hollywood Victory Committee and
all participants would like to forget
was the elaborately planned trek of
$50 movie folk to visit various Army
and Navy hospitals throughout the
country between Christmas and
New Year.
Some never did get to their desti-
nations because of weather. Others
were forced down In COW towns
where they remained for days. 1t
was altogether the fault of the
weather man, and the stars were
just as sorry as any one at disap-
pointing so many of the boys who
were expecting them.
No further mass excursions, at
least by air, will be planned by the
committee.
Over at Doth Century Fox, they
like to point out that their bows In
the service have really gone places
in the way of promotions from the
ranks.
Henry Fonda. who went in as an
apprentice seaman, is back in town
on leave as a lieutenant, Junior
grade. John Howard Is an ensign
on a mine-layer in the Mediterran-
can; Richard Greene is lieutenant:
Tyrone Power got those bars after
going IN as a private in the Marines.
John Payne, now lieutenant. Is
instructing: Cesar Romero has a
rating in the Coast Guard; George
Montgomery is an Army corporal:
and the one and only Vic Mature
also in the Coast Guard, really
earned his rating.
MGM has flock of high rankers
too - what with Captains Clark
Gable and Jimmy Stewart and
Lieut.. Comdr. Robert Montgomery
to lead the parade.

Paramount Speaks Soberly

Around Thomas Paine's observa-
ton that these are times which try
mems souls, Paramount has built
its annual summary of 1943's news
high lights and their meaning. In
doing so 1t has accomplished dra-
matte and well-rounded piece of
pictorial journalism which went on
display at Trans-Lux and other
downtown theaters yesterday.
Hanson Baldwin, New York
Times war correspondent and an
alyst, who wrote the script and mar
rates the major body of it In this
Paramount review, takes sharp issue
with the easy optimism OF those
who feel the war Is destined to be
quickly won. Conceding that 1914
can be the year Of decision in the
raging world conflict, Baldwin warns
that overconfidence is one of its
chief hazards and his argument is
dramatically supported by the
newsreel's carefully edited shots of
the battle field and the home
front.
In illustrating the growth OF
American military might, Para
mounts newsreel points out that
it has begun merely to strike the
perimeter of early Axis conquests
If the complete route to Berlin and
Toxic is to be traversed by sheer
force, which Mr.. Baldwin's narra-
tive implies, as If 1t were not de-
batable, the difficulty ahead is in

There are seven musical inter-
ludes in "The Gangs All Here" the
most promising of which is Miss
Faye's singing and reprising of a
sad. rather simple ballad, "A Jour-
ney to a Star" Leo Robin and Harry
Warren who wrote the tune tai
lored 1t to Miss Faye's lump-in-the-
throat style with a perfection that
Brooks Bros. might envy.
The 1--WE set will be compensated
for its loyalty to Goodman and
his band by hearing several musical
interludes handled in the maestros
own Incompatible fashion. The
most accented OF these is one called
"Paducah" which has the fascinat-
ingly fiat declaration in the refrain
that you can't pooh, pooh Pa
ducah." Goodman not only DEM
onstrates that 1t riffs nicely on his
clarinet, but also that it is the sort
of thing he can sing to the satisfac-
ton of his following.

THE Gangs All Here is at its
dancing best not in Berkeley's big
numbers. but in the work of Tony
De Marco, using two new partners
and doing very well, and in the aero
batic solo performance Of Miriam
Lavelle. Miss Lavelle is a dancer
OF many wonderful turnings and her
hips photographed from above are
something new and arresting to be-
hold.

amounts to virtually only a speck
