'They don't make them any big gerl"
 'They don't make them any bet teri"
 'They don't make them any greater!"
 That's the word that's been com- ing from Hollywood on 20th Cen. tury-Fox'S great and heart-warming production of ''The Sullivans" which is scheduled to open Friday at the Loew Poll theater. Out of the dramatic headlines of world war II have come the most stirring pie lures of the year. But while most of these films were based on the bat tlefront struggles of Guadalcanal, Bataan and Wake Island. 1t re- mained for The Sullivans" to reach what preview critics are hailing as the true heart and spirit of Amer jeans in the world conflict-with- out being 8 story of conflict, itself. For '"The Sullivans" typifieS the American family in this war in a human, heart-warming story of family life. The boyhood and ear- ly youth of the five famous Sul- livan boys-scrapping, playing, liv- ing, romancing-is the theme of the film. Nom and Dad Sullivan want ed it that way. It was November, 1922 that Sam Jaffe who together with Associate producer Robert T. Kane. produced the film, read the headline telling of the five Sulli- van brothers of Waterloo, Iowa. The dramatic impact of the story struck him as strong scenario possibility. Jaffe mulled 1t over. The idea took hold. Before he knew 1t, he was waist-deep in aspirin bottles. Max ing such a picture, he found, in- volved special releases from the Navy, and from the SullivanS them- selves, script troubles and multiple casting complications. Navy au- thorities agreed readily. Rear Ad. miral Clark H. Woodward, repre- senting the Industrial Incentive Division of the Navy, approved the Animation as the most graphic method of illustrating the sacrifices of the ordinary seaman in battle, as well as of the parents on the homefront and as a great tribute to the boys themselves. Nom and Dad Sullivan, having already agreed to tour the country on War Bond Drives, took to the idea immediate ly. '1n this way" Nom pointed out, my boys will still be fighting"

The film parade: Monty Woolley- The Beard insists he's Hollywood's fastest dresser. Takes him just two minutes to get ready for the street, properly logged out. after climbing out of bed. But on the set of Irish Eyes Are Smiling" where he duplI- cates the feat for the camera, an- other fact comes out. It takes him a good IS minutes to get his beard properly combed and brushed.
 Eleanor Powell-Eleanor is not nearly so proud of the speed with which she tap dances as she is of the turns she makes while do- ing same. '"The turns" she says, 'are the thing. Ninety per cent of the effect on the screen is ere ated by the speed and grace of the turns and whirls - not by mere tap speed"
 Ethel BarrymOre-The day she started to work in RKO'S "None But the Lonely Heart" Spencer Tracy filled her dressing room with red roses. As a struggling young stage actor, Tracy played the role, of a newspaper photOgra- pher in "A Royal Fandango'' in 1924.

He gave up printing for vaudeville, became 8 night club star and now he's one of RKO's top comedians. You remember him as The Crllnk, slow-witted but loyal bodyguard to Cary Grant in MT. Lucky"
 Henry KoIker-Brilliant charac- ter actor who has just come forth with one of the best ideas to orig inate i'm fllmtown in a long while. KOIker believes the film industry should produce short film, a la news reel fashion, of the family of every man in the armed service who receives a citation for gall lantry i'm action.

 OCCUPATION: BEGGAR
 Former radio announcer Bill Stul. la, now with the Army in New Delhi, India, writes that begging k still listed as an occupation in the India census. But something new has been added. Before the war little urchins begged for pennies, crying, ''N0 Ina- ma, no papa. no brother, no sister, no uncle, no aunt-bakSheeSh. Sahib, baksheesh." Now, writes Bill, they plead: "N0 mama, no papa, no brother, no sister, NO FLIGHT PAY"

Found Shoi-to-De

MCPHERSON, Kans., Nov 8
LP)-Two bodies, each shot three
times through the back of the
head and tossed into a roadside
ditch, were found yesterday to
end a week long search-and to
start another hunt, this time for
the killers.
A search had been conducted
for the two men, DR.. NJ. E. Lam
bert, 81, a Canton, Kans., osteo-
path, and Cpl. Charles Nipper,
q, since Monday. That's the last
day they were seen alive, and
that's also the day Doctor Lam
bert's bloodstained car was
found near here.
Highway patrolmen said they
were at a loss to explain why
the bodies were not found SOON
er. No attempt had been made to
cover them. They also were not
certain of motive. The mems
billfolds were missing. but Jew
elry and change had been
passed up.
Nipper, who had been sta
toned at the Smoky Hill Army
air field near Salina, was last
seen entering a car similar to
Lambert's at a roadside shelter
ner Wichita.

Enemy Kept Guessing.
Steaming for many of the pre-
landing hours within range of Jap
aneSe aerial reconnaissance, the Al
lied invasion armada had succeeded
in keeping the enemy guessing about
the ultimate detectives until 1t was
too late for the Japanese to or
ganiZe any counteraction.
Approaching Hollandia from diff
ferent directions, carrier and attack
fleets had rendezyoused at a point
which, even if detected, still gave the
enemy no indication of its destina-
tion. Friday night the invasion
force abruptly changed its direction
and warshipS' heavy salvos were
probably the first warning the Jap
anese received that Hollandia and
Aitape were being invaded.
