name and the next morning I saw
him in the chow-line. He told me
that he was Norwegian.
What impressed me the most was
the amazing spirit of the French.
Whenever some civilians attended
the shows would ask them to come
up on the stage and sing the Mar
seillaise' with me. There was some
thing defiant in the way the grown
ups sang but so sweet and hopeful
when the children burst into their
national anthem, which had been
taught to them in whispers by faith
ers and mothers who never knew II
a German would be listening OUT
side their door,
French kids are extremely lovely.
I'm glad that they didn't look un-
dernourished or unhappy. However
poor and deprived their parents may
have been, the children had q look
on their faces as If they were adored.
Found Paris Expensive.
''It was an unbelievable thrill to
arrive in Paris, but everything was
terribly expensive there. Two friends
and I went to the Ritz Hotel, bring
ing our own meat, bread and eggs.
AL we asked them to do was to pre-
pare it and serve some green beans
with 1t. Nobody had q drink and
the bill was $40. Naturally, I always
had expected to find the French
women chic and elegant, but ! be-
lieve that they have been riding
bicycles too long.
THE thing which touched me the
most on the trip was when our boys
would come over and ask for an
autograph and they showed me the
picture of their wives and children.
The messages on each little picture
was written with the heart-blood OF
an American woman. The words
were simple but the meaning was
deep and sincere-so much so that
I could hardly keep from crying. At
present I'm busy writing letters to
the women whose husbands, fathers
and sweethearts are over there"
And what are you going to do
now?" / asked Dinah. She smiled
that big warm smile of hers and
said, I'm just getting used to being
back and I never appreciated my
home and George and America as
I do now
What about childrenp" I asked
and Dinah blushed becomingly as
she went on, Both George and
come from families with great
number of children. George is one
of 13 and he wouldn't mind having
as many himself, but think four
or six ought to be enough. When the
wars over, we hope to divide our
time between Hollywood and
Georges ranch in Montana. I'm not
much good at milking COWS, but
guess electric mixers will be avail
able by then"
That's Dinah, the little girl from
Tennessee, who just wanted to sing
to tide herself over till she became
q great actress and who today Is on
the top, little girl as warn-hearted
and friendly to know as she is glor-
ious to see and hear.

onstrated their respective virtues, all
of which were startling, or bizarre,
or both. Abruptly group Of actors
invaded a corner of the stage, where
hung a full-length painting of the

shoulders, where arms should be,
were holes

planned. "All right, Harry, start it"
Harry obediently barged into the
scene with drawn revolver. Hands
up. everybody" he roared. AS half
a dozen pairs Of arms reached for
the ceiling. he pointed his weapon
at the painting. "You, too" he said.
Up went q pair Of hairy masculine
arms which an actor had thrust
through the holes. Even John Nc
Manus, seated In the first row, try
ing to think up crazy music for .
crazy show, smiled at that one.
Alton, by this time, had given up;
he was rehearsing his dancers In
dogged obliviousness to whatever
might happen. From room back
Of the orchestra seats came q tor
tured outcry. "Taxes-taxes-taxes!
Is there no end to paying taxes?"
"Just one," came Chick Johnson's 5

testor had met his just fate.

HOLLYWOOD.
Folks In the liberated countries
OF Europe have every reason to be
happy about = lot Of things these
days and the return Of the free and
unshackled American movie IS one
Of the most appreciated Of all.
Suppose, after q lifetime Of pick
ing your own type Of amusement
you suddenly found your movie fare
restricted exclusively to propaganda,
both In features and news reels. The
Germans painted their master
race messages with q thick brush
and few Of the conquered peoples
could take 1t through an entire
show.
Little wonder then that France,
italy, Belgium and portions Of Hol-
land have gone wild over the return
Of movies that offer unvarnished
amusement done up in the Holly
wood style to which they had be-
come so accustomed before the war.
Wherever theaters are open in these
countries, they are packed with ap-
#preciative citizens.
One of the side features OF this
return Of American movies to the
liberated fans is their attitude to-
ward stars they have never seen be-
fore. In four years Hollywood has
developed much new talent, many
new stars whose names are entirely
foreign to European fiimgoers.
For instance, shortly after the
liberation parade in Paris, a movie
theater opened showing print OF
Somewhere I'll Find You," which
had been rushed to the French cap
ital from London by the owl.

It was just q single incident Of
many that are happening In the
unshackled countries as Allied forces
move tn and the Naz hordes move
out.
For the motion picture Is playing
an extremely important role In the
liberation Of nations. It Is the best
propaganda that the owl can pro-
vide and that's why this Govern
ment agency Is In charge Of the dis
tribution and exhibition OF movies
In the newly freed countries.
In Italy they were asking for
Laurel and Hardy, Charlie Chaplin
and other old favorites. The "sig-
nora with the legs"-Betty Cradle
OF course-was soon the toast OF
Rome. Two new comics, just about
brand-new to the Italians, were

It's only recently that Terry has

MGM and Paramount, without

aware that the quiet, studious young
fellow Joan Crawford married was
graduated from the Royal Academy
Of Dramatic Arts in London, played
in the British provinces in stock
and repertory for four years before
coming to Columbia Broadcasting
Co. in Hollywood. It's to his credit
that he speaks with no acquired

well: he also has a pilots license and

HOLLYWOOD,

HOLLY WOOD.
Phil Terry's outstanding publicity
has been due to his marriage to Joan
Crawford. He Is In the difficult po-
sition Of any young man who has
not yet made his own fame, and is
married to famous woman.
Yet he carries the role without
self-consciousness, or resentment,
and with q tolerance Of quips.
Terry Is big, good looking fellow,
but no peppy personality boy, for
ever bounding around and batting
tennis balls or posing on diving
boards. He's more likely to have q
book In his hand, and glasses on his
nose, unless he's actually participate
ing in sports. He's good at tennis,
riding, swimming, and was active In
college and prep school sports,
mainly track at Stanford.
His manner is friendly: he talks
readily and well, though he has none
of the actor-extrovert about him,
rather sure poise that doesn't need
outward expression. He has a man
nerism of pickering up his lip and
resting his index finger on the tip
Of his nose, while cupping his chin
in the palm of his hand. He gestic-
ulates as he talks. His sense of hu-

In this connection, 1t Is significant
to note that the motion picture In

'The Dictator" Popular.
Hollywood-made war movies have
already proved immensely popular
with French audiences, especially
those with comedy vein. Chaplin's
"The Dictator" was seized upon by
| the owl as one destined to find i'm
mediate favor with the French and
Italians; consequently hundreds Of
| 16-mm. prints were struck OF and
rushed to portable projectors in
those countries. Reports also say
that Enrol Flynn's memorable "Des-
perate Journey" seriously plotted
melodrama in which Flynn almost
single-handed routs the entire Ger
man army, got just as many un-
scheduled laughs as 1t did in this
country.

Importance of the foreign market

All the tumult that a locomotive
gone cockeyed can make roared and
reverberated throughout the dimly
lighted. auditorium Of the Adelphi
Theater, where rehearsals for the
new Olsen and johnson insanity,
'Laf1n' Room Only" are In their
early stages.
Robert Alton In q checked shirt,
gray slacks, . whistle around his
neck, stared in panied surprise at
the uproarious apparition suddenly
appearing from backstage recesses.
He slumped back In his chair near
the footlights, blowing his whistle
sharply. A dozen or so 1.-the young
men, another dozen girls In sweat
shirts and heavy woolen tights came
imme diately to frozen stop.
Alton glanced at Ole Olsen, his
brows furrowed, his eyes dark with
reproach. His task is to inject into
the piece an element hitherto alien
in o. and j. productions-art. If
anything approximating an Olsen
and johnson show had existed in
ancient days, undoubtedly one of
the feats of magic King Arthur
would have imposed upon Merlin
would have involved the injection
Of art into it. Alton feels very much
as Merlin would have felt. Olsen
